It's already October. My mother always told me that the older you get, time goes by faster. How much do I hate admitting my mother was right. Fall in Maine is outstanding. It was always pretty in Wisconsin and Illinois, where I spent most of my life up until now. But you can't even compare it to what it's like here, even in my own yard. Of course the fact that we live on 22 acres in the woods makes my 'yard' a little more spectacular, but I do appreciate it a lot. A neighboring town was voted #2 for Fall Foliage. If you ask me it doesn't have anything on my little town .. or my little yard for that matter.
Neighboring Town Voted #2 for Fall Foliage
So finally FINALLY after weeks of plateauing I lost some poundage. The good news is that I lost weight. And since I had been staying the same for weeks on end I started keeping a food journal to make sure I was eating as little calories as I thought I was. I have a feeling I was going a little over but not a lot. I knew I had been sorta slacking on the exercising so I recommitted to that as well. The bad news is that Saturday and Sunday I couldn't get out of bed because I had a migraine. First one I ever had and hopefully the last. It included a trip to the ER because I considering shooting myself to take away the pain so I thought I would at least give some strong medicine a chance. If what they gave me is the best they can do for a migraine I am not impressed. I left there with the edge taken off and that was about it. Today Monday, I am home from work and I think using up my very last sick day until January 1st still trying to recover.
But on with the good news. Since Saturday and Sunday involved very little eating I was sure that I at least lost a pound. And since I was A+ on track the rest of the week that I wasn't sick I thought 2 pounds would be deserved . Since I lose weight at the pace of a snail asking for more than that would be greedy. Damn, another thing my mother always told me ... it's harder to lose weight as you get older. She was right again. So if you're young and reading this ... don't wait. You think it's hard now ... believe it....it gets harder.
And the wii fit said ... minus 5 pounds. Yes! Now minus 27 and counting...28 pounds to goal!
