I'm proud of my continued loss. It is slower now. That is not a surprise as I am getting closer to the size I originally thought of as my target. I am 3 years and 3 months into my new lifestyle. I have proven to myself that I can succeed in spite of all that life has thrown in my path. This is my 2nd time using FS to guide my redefining of what my life is going to be. There have been 2 times when stopped tracking and just took a break. This past 6 weeks is the 3rd. Again, life was just too overwhelming to find time to document it. I have continued a steady downward trend through it all. It took me 60+ years to finally value myself. I finally realize that I am not being selfish when I choose to take time to care for myself. It is what allows me to care for others.

There will always be temptation and I will not always make the best choice. I have learned that being mindful and not allowing myself to become self destructive is a choice. Life is a series of daily choices. If I don't choose to make a choice, I have in fact made a choice.

I pray that you all can find a peaceful relationship with food and yourself. It is the sustained daily poor food choices that sabotage our mental and physical health. Blessings and Serenity to all who struggle, may you have a moment to just Breathe.

It has been an eventful couple of weeks! Spent several days altering the eldest daughter's wedding dress that took twice as long to arrive as promised. Thank the Good Lord for a super friend and seamstress all rolled into one fabulous person. She put her remodeling project on hold and spent 2 days with us!

Then it was time to decorate the pavilion at the lake 30 miles from home, for the Viking themed wedding and dinner. Everything turned out beautifully in spite of total exhaustion!

I've spent this week in recovery mode. I've been sleeping when I felt like it and I have skipped workouts last Wednesday through this week. I will be back on track starting next week.

I truly understand exhaustion and hitting a wall. I was physically and mentally unable to go on Sunday. It's is affirmation in color and stereo when I look back at what I was able to do. Maybe remembering to eat and sleep would have been a better choice. I would never have been able to do what I did 6 months ago.

I had a MRI of my brain on Wednesday due to what may have been a very mild brain event several months ago. Short term memory just isn't what I feel it should be. Didn't show any major issues. Dr. says add a baby aspirin a day. I'm OK with that as I no longer take BP med or cholesterol med as they are well within the normal range.

I'm never going to be my 20-30 something self again, but when I look around and I'm the only one who can do what needs to be done... I've got this!

Never Give Up! Your Best Life is a Journey, not a 50 yard dash. Live all of it with Grace and Forgiveness for yourself and others!

I'm excited to see 180's on the scale. Only a few pounds heavier than I was when I got married. I haven't been this small in 47 years. Still need to take the time to evaluate where I want to go with this. I found maintenance accidentally. I have been within a 5# range for about 6 months. The last 2# have been accidental.
Lots of highs and lows emotionally. 20yo grandson in trouble and unemployed again. October is birthdays and anniversaries month. Oldest daughter is getting remarried the 30th. Our 49th is the 27th and son's 19th is the 31st. Meeting myself coming and going. Still lifting and doing water aerobics. I'm still logging food.
Need to eat more, especially protein and veggies. I'm eating 1 mid-day main meal and trying to snack on healthy stuff afternoon and evening. Even with the coming holidays it will be calmer in November.
Prayers for all who are on this journey. Some days will be tougher than others and some will seem impossible. Always remember the only time you fail is if you Quit Trying!

Lifting more and generally getting back on track. Eating more mindfully and moving more. Making a list of things I want to accomplish for the week is helping me to be more focused. I am focusing less on food more on activity. Eating a main meal midday and small healthier foods later in the day/evening just so I'm not hungry.
Trying to get a better sense of, if I am really hungry or just eating/wanting to eat. Breaking the habit of eating because I'm bored, upset, frustrated, or depressed or maybe just a bit manic, is my real world challenge right now. Throughout this whole process I have avoided dealing with this self-distructive habit. Now I've decided it is time to face it and defeat it. This is a BIGGIE! It is amazing how many excuses I have had not face my Demon.
I will Not Back Down this time.
