Starting another week and HYC

Another long week is upon me. Every night this week and the weekend are occupied with some sort of plan or another. While I do enjoy the time going by quickly, it doesn't leave much time to catch my breath.

Update on goals for November:
Still have had no chips for this month even though ops have presented themselves!
I don't seem to be on track for the 20 days of working out, but I have a calendar on my vision board and I'm pleased with how many days I've colored in as having worked out :)
I'm still 13 lbs lighter than when September started!!!

Overall, I am pleased with how things are progressing. I have stresses in my life and yet I am not as tempted to turn to food and my eating has kept on pace with what I want. I've even gone off plan a couple of times, but they haven't turned into downslides. I am grateful that this path is ahead of me and I continue walking it. The thing that feels different this time is that it's not a euphoria that's keeping me going. I feel very even keeled, keeping my head and wits about me and I think that better equips me when bumps come along, I can take them in better stride.

I think my major theme this year has been "follow through". There are many areas of my life that I just have not put my full energy into and not following through on things that I say I'm going to do. This includes my job, my position as Treasurer at church, losing weight, etc. It feel much better when I do take care of these things. Weights I didn't know I was carrying seem to be lifted each time even a small task is accomplished that I have let go or not followed through to the end. Many people bemoan turning 30...I think this has been one of my best years yet and I can't wait for more to come!
