Morning all.

scale up a smidge. No sugar but all can think of is that the restaurant meal had much more salt than what am used too. Plus, it was not particularly good.

walked the usual 12,000 steps most of it in the rain.

a quiet night except for a cop car that raced down the street at 2am with siren blaring making us all jump and the dogs go nuts, this after they had just calmed down after the fireworks.

day off today which will be devoted to the CLEANING OF THE BASEMENT.

Good morning and happy Sunday. Scale is up to 116, likely due to constipation. Miralax has been in the regime for several days so hopefully I'll be less 'full of it' soon. Gawd I love how we can say things here that wouldn't be polite elsewhere!

Hubby and I are still lazing around this morning, not sure what we'll do with the day. Have a good one and be sure to throw the leftover candy out today!

I am feeling particularly upbeat this morning. I was even up a pound on the scale and dont' care. Perhaps it is my victory of absolutely no candy going down the gullet, or perhaps the opportunity to laze about before my grooming client arrives (that extra hour thing is always a gift!) at 10:00 am. Maybe it's both.

I did find myself eating erratically yesterday. Had a normal breakfast and lunch, but then I had a quest bar for my afternoon meal and then some almonds. Something was triggery about the Quest Bar yesterday, so I found myself munching down almonds and pistachios yesterday until about dinner time. Once I ate a normal dinner things settled back down. I'm guessing not enough real protein or vegetables may have been the issue. Also, my timing was off - eating far later than I usually do.

I'm enjoying observing my behaviors rather than judging them. The observation is allowing me to make gradual and meaningful changes. When I was so hard on myself it really was counterproductive.

Happy November 1. Thanksgiving is only weeks away and the Eating Season will then be in full swing for the following 5 weeks. Let us all prepare and strengthen our resolves.

My mini goal is to be in the next "decade" and at the very tip top of my safe zone by January 1 or thereabouts. All I can do is regulate my behavior, not the scale. So, if I manage my behaviors and the scale doesn't follow as I would hope, so be it. If I stick to it for the next 2 months and make decisions rather than allow impulsive behaviors, I'm treating myself to a one hour body massage. Hold me to it, ladies!

What are your goals for the Eating Season?

HI ALL up s pound this am. i only ate 3 pieces of halloween candy yesterday which wasn't bad considering we had 435 kids come, including my internist dressed in a 70's disco outfit with his kids. party was a success - we all wore witch hats and my friend does a little puppet show at the door. i nibbled cheese and ham chunks and veggies all night. we have a ton of halloween candy left. will take it to the studio or the senior center.

off to raku fire at noon. love the time change. diane

My scale was up .5#. Must have been the popcorn. I was craving it so I made it on the stove and it was good.

Kinky Boots was fabulous, high energy and fun!!! Love it!!! We had a great day!

Maintaining or losing would be good for the holidays. I'm going to try to keep it to the holiday and not make everyday a reason to eat...it has to be homemade and really delicious. If not, I need to stop eating it.

Have a great week everyone!
