Achievement

Wednesday Weigh Day was one day delayed since I forgot yesterday morning.  Overall its been a decent week, food wise.  Not a decent week personally.  My mom ended up in the hospital so most of my spare time has been spent there instead of hiking, which is fine.  I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Halloween has come and gone.  It was a success for the first time in years!  Success being measured in how much (or rather how little) candy I ate.  I had a bazillion bags and boxes of goodies.  In my house.  Days before Halloween arrived.  That has been a recipe for disaster in years past as I would chow down bags and bags of candy before Halloween arrived, having to sometimes go out and buy more candy for the big day.  Not this year.  This year I was satisfied with just one Peanut Butter Cup and only 3 bags of fruit snacks (over the course of about 3 days).  I also consumed one of those tiny, individually wrapped  squares of a Milky Way while at work.  But that is it.  All other candy went into the bags of cute little witches, ghosts, and goblins.  Not one piece of candy did I eat on Halloween night.  Sacrilegious, I know.

Though exercising has been limited, my food has been incredibly good.   Even bringing my own lunches/dinner to the hospital when I visit with my mom.  Also of pride, I brought my mom a Bridgeman's Chocolate Malt.  I didn't get one for myself, but instead put about 4 spoonfuls of delicious malt into a Dixie Cup and had a little taste.  It satisfied me more than I ever thought possible.  I also had a Kit Kat bar while at the hospital. 

So, I wasn't sure what I would find when I hopped on the scale this morning.  GUESS WHAT???  I made my GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Achieved!!!  I am at 135 now.  I'm so happy, so proud, and amazed at what I was able to accomplish once I set my mind to it. 

Yes, I am patting myself on the back today :)
