Good morning and happy November! Yesterday was Halloween and there is still a large pile of candy on my dining room table, but I decided last night that I didn't want any of it. And guess what... my daughter didn't really go for it either. After we attended a Halloween party (where both of us decided to forgo the hot dog and chips dinner and the frosted sugar cookies), my girl went out with friends for an ice cream and I came home to relax with a cup of tea. I had decided ahead of time that I would really enjoy a fun-sized Butterfinger, but I didn't see any yesterday and it wasn't important enough to go looking.
This morning I weighed in at 232 pounds. That's 8 pounds lost in October and still going strong. I have not had a monthly weigh in this low in about 18 months and it feels good. I'll just keep plugging along with my phentermine, lower carb/smaller portions eating plan, and exercise (biking, walking, and yard work). Going into the holidays it is important to me to stay on track and not get derailed by all of the "special" foods we usually cook and encounter at gatherings and parties. I believe I can get through the next two months not only *not gaining* weight, but continuing to lose at a decent rate.
Off to walk a dog and have some coffee!
