Half a pound. Not bad considering I was in New York at the beginning of the week and didn't follow the menu and it's "that" week for me, so I'm a wee bit bloated.
On the down side, it doesn't look like I'm going to lose the 5 pounds I wanted to this month. Don't think that will drop in a week, especially with Thanksgiving this week. I might hit three, but five pounds seems a little out of reach. I could probably do it if I starved myself -but that defeats the purpose here and I don't want to run that type of marathon. It's a cheat to the body and soul.
So I keep on plugging away at the last fifteen pounds. Little by little it will come off. I'm almost at the halfway point, so that will be a win when I hit the twelve and a half pounds. My whole goal was twenty-five pounds and when I signed up, I thought it would be faster than this. But when I look at the goal in comparison to my starting weight - I'm trying to lose close to one fifth of my weight. In that framework, that's a huge number.
I got through Halloween without breaking stride - but November has been a challenge and a bit of a plateau according to the scale - but not according to my measurments - so the story is bigger than just the scale.
For instance:
I've lost five inches in my chest, four inches in my waist, four inches in my stomach and five inches in my hips.
My clothing fits better and I feel much better than I had carrying that weight around on my little frame.
Anyway, you folks have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Catch you next week when we find out if Thanksgiving derailed my progress or not!
