I'm off kilter!!! Imagine that.

My weight was up again today, which should not be much of a surprise since I ate buttered popcorn at the movies yesterday afternoon. So much for carb avoidance ... and although the rest of my calories for the day were decent there was a lot of salt on that popcorn!!

Perhaps I'll just hover here ... over 200 ... for the rest of my life.

Nah.

The sort of scary thing is that I've been paying attention for more than 53 days. My last official weigh in here on FS was 53 days ago. Almost 2 months and I still can't record a new low. I think I need to give the Dr. Kruse leptin reset a good 4-6 weeks uninterrupted. I do feel much more satisfied food wise on it but ... oh nevermind. It is Monday. I almost always second guess myself on Mondays.

The days are getting shorter and shorter!!! Makes me feel like sleeping all the time. Too bad our work schedules don't change to reflect the length of the days. But then ... I wouldn't want to work longer hours in the summer so again, nevermind.

I don't know if I told you that the original person who purchased our vending business from us backed out on the deal. However, a new person stepped up and decided to take them over. YAY!!! Hubby is taking them around to introduce them to the businesses where the machines are located this afternoon.

My son found a place to live, closer to his new job. His first day on the job is today. He is coming up to see us this weekend ... if I send him gas money. He is B R O K E. So, of course I am sending him gas money!! He found out he won't be working on Thanksgiving so he'll be home for the bird-feast. He told me his girlfriend invited him to her house for Thanksgiving ... but he'd rather come home to see us. YAY!!! She gets to see him ALL the time!!! LOL!!!

I have not been very faithful working on my "goals." I need to get back to it. I've been goofing off too much. A whole day of playing angry birds? Really? Well, I did do the laundry too. LOL!!

Still, I am grateful.

1. That despite being above my weight "zone" I still have clothing I can wear!!! (too darn cold to be naked and I would frighten too many people!!!)
2. Someone decided to take the vending machines off our hands, even though technically they were no longer ours ... we still felt responsible to the businesses they are housed at.
3. Time with my son this coming weekend.
4. The deep, beautiful, fall colors!!
5. Remembering to be in the moment.

Ever mindful of being kind to myself. I hope you are doing the same!!

Take care!!

Yup 6 - 8 weeks on the reset - and that is without popcorn in the middle LOL. And if you have other issues like hormones or thyroid or PCOS etc it can take longer. I refuse to cheat - I kinda like not being hungry and getting slimmer! LOL. You can do this, just be determined to see it through until your body tells you that you are leptin sensitive. Enjoy the time with your son!

I'm wondering what angry birds is... But maybe it's better I don't know because I can get easily hooked with games lol! If you can stick at least 6 weeks on this plan without interruption, you'll really know if it works or not. Lately you've been trying many things and it might be the reason why you didn't see a new low on the scale... I'm so glad you get to see your son for Thanksgiving! I'm also glad things are getting better for him, new job, new place, it was a while he wanted to move out now he's closer to his friends that's good! Have a great night Carol!

I feel your pain. I stayed in the 190s for the longest time. I didnt think it would ever change. Until recently for some odd reason I lost two pounds. I wish i knew why but I guess my body finally felt safe to get going again. Hopefully for a while. I dont use much salt at home so when I eat a meal with a lot in it I do notice a big change the next day, including weight gain. Im kinda glad to hear your sleeping more. I find myself doing the same. Gives me a little peace of mind to think its a season change symtom. Angry birds really make me mad! Daggone pigs. lol Maybe once your body feels safe it will start to shed. Keep your head up until it does.

Great news about the holiday- always makes it more fun with kiddos around. I am feeling the frustration- hard to be mindful and the scale doesn't cooperate. SOmething has got to give is what I keep thinking. We can do this - hang in there.
