My T-day weekend didn’t go quite as I expected.  I went home Wednesday night and wasn’t quite feeling good, but just thought I was tired and stressed about the next day.  Woke up Thursday morning with the beginning of a head cold that is still with me today.   I went to dinner at mom’s with a definite plan in mind and stuck to it. 

I also had plan for the rest of the weekend, which the cold both helped and hindered.  The good thing about the cold is that food didn’t taste as good which also kept me from over-eating all weekend.  The bad part is that I wasn’t able to exercise like I wanted, which was to add at least one extra workout to the weekend.  I was able to stick to my normal exercise routine though.  As a result, I managed to get through Thanksgiving while losing 3 pounds this week.

That makes a current total of 44 pounds lost.  I am now only 20 away from my mini-goal, which I hope to reach by 2/1/09 when I leave for my snorkeling vacation in Roatan.  This would also place me more than halfway from my goal.

I have noticed so many changes in myself and my attitude about this journey, all of which are positive,  that I know now that while it may not happen as I planned or as quick as I want, I will succeed this time.  I will reach my goal weight, not when I want, but when it is right for my body and I’m actually okay with that.  

My body, while not yet bikini-ready, is a beautiful work in progress.  For the first time in my life, I feel at peace with my current weight, knowing that it is only temporary.  Of course, it could just be the cold-medicine talking. 

Hope you all are having a wonderful day.
