The past couple of weeks have been hectic and a little stressful, but I've been hanging in there. We took a trip to DC that included eating LOTS AND LOTS of good food. And also good friends, Jim and Erin and the newest addition to the family- a baby bump! The following weekend I was prepping to go to a conference in NYC (and sporting a great banana costume to a Halloween party!), but then Hurricane Sandy hit and changed my plans. Instead, we stayed in and what else? Ate and ate and ate. I'm more back on track than I was before, but I was a little bummed that I could make it into the 180s by November, as I was on track to do a couple weeks ago.
This journey is teaching me that even when you're near the weight you want to be, there will still be ups and downs to deal with. There will always be events and dinners out and holidays and your boyfriend will bring you to get fast food and it's up to you to make good decisions no matter where you are and what the situation. It's also important to remember that one bad day (or three or four!) isn't going to break the scale. I was sure when I got on the scale this Wednesday, it was going to say 205 pounds or something. I was convinced I had just gained 15 pounds. Well, it never happened. I'm learning that while it's good to make good decisions most of the time, sometimes you can have some time to eat ice cream and pasta and drink beer. To be honest, feasting on amazing food, healthy or not as much, is part of what makes being a human being great. I don't want to miss out on all of that.
These are great things to keep in mind as we gear up for Thanksgiving and Christmas, where there will be parties and events galore! Happy November everyone!
