My how time flies....I haven't posted since the 5th but have been slowly losing. Currently down a total of 8 pounds.

Next week is Thanksgiving. I have that meal down to a science. Much prep before hand makes for a more relaxing day for me!

The key to steady weight loss is daily activity, mindful eating and not letting the reading on the scale define one's day! I think once a week weigh ins are best for me unless I fall off the wagon or feel alot lighter in the am....

Well I am hanging in for the long haul and have dropped 4 pounds.

I have pinpointed the 'witching hour' where I've noticed I tend to want to eat when I am not hungry(between 4 and 6 pm) and have switched to drinking a cup of tea instead.

I also am limiting my time in front of the computer and TV and started reading again.

So taking it slow and steady this time around.

Well I have not had any loss yet but I am being more mindful of what and when I eat. The mindless eating is what caused my to gain. You know, you take the big Costco sized bag of whatever and sit down in front of your computer or TV or at your desk to catch up on reading/bill paying and soon you realize, 'Hey where did all the(insert your fav snack) go?" Hmmm I will strive to eat mindfully and not mindlessly.PS I have decided not to do Induction(Atkins Fan here) but OWL as I don't...

Well it's a gloomy Monday but I am in a good mood. Looking forward to getting back to where I was earlier this year.

Time to break the bad habits and continue to add good habits.

Off to the woods with my furry girl, Rita!
