Menu Monday- 9/5

Is it September already??? Holy cow! When did this happen? With September comes visions of Sugar Plums dancing in my head Winking smile I have grave fears about my weight loss goals and the holiday season. I love to bake and as it gets cold (which is so isn’t yet here in Houston) I tend to turn the oven on to warm me from the inside out, if you know what I mean. So I’m already kind of thinking about some ways I can get through this season. If you have any ideas that would be great.

I ended August with a total of 22.4 pounds lost so far Smile I’m looking forward to the 25 pound mark! I am really starting to feel better, and feel better about myself. I know for most of you, this isn’t what you want to hear, but it really is the exercising that’s making the difference. I’m not going to tell you I love exercising because I don’t. In fact, I miss my quiet time in the mornings when I just listen to George Winston on Pandora and do my Bible Study. Starting my walks at 6am doesn’t afford this. So I have to find other times to do it, and that will be a challenge as well. But, when I haven’t been out for a few days and I DO get back out there it really does feel good. for real. I know what I eat really matters too, what I’m saying is, that doing just the eating part doesn’t do it. I have to do both the eating and the activity part to see losses on the scale. I will admit that, while I am not a runner, I do want to start running and my tendonitis in my ankle is really an inconvenience right now. Sad smile I’ll keep on trekking, though Winking smile
