This week the scale needs to move a bit more. Still wearing the boot, so I have not walked in a month. I have been getting in loads of cardio with lawn work, so my numbers are steady and the inches are slowly melting. I am really motivated now, back in my jeans, and my jackets are not tight. I go back to the podiatrist today, and hope to get back to my daily walks soon, though my foot is achy. Last night I enjoyed an evening out to the local botanical gardens where we each designed autumn wreaths to bring home. I had to laugh, as mine was rather spartan. The "helpers" kept encouraging me to fill in the entire wreath. But I am a minimalist at heart.. The big deal for me was that I had dinner before leaving, and did not eat at the function. I carried an apple with me for emergencies. That is real progress! I am deciding now whether to lose these last 6 pounds or park about here. I will feel better pushing on, and I will get in the rest of my clothes, and my cholesterol will likely drop.. This will require a yeoman' effort I think, because my natural set point is about where I am now. I have read that those with thinning bones need a little extra padding, and that the "elderly" should have a cushion as well. On the other hand I have read that extra pounds ages the body and mind. I lean towards getting a little more lean and making resistance training and aerobics part of my lifestyle. Thoughts? On another note I have agreed to host a birthday dinner tomorrow. So today I will pull out the banana "ice cream" recipes and try to come up with some tasty plant based no sugar and oil cookies or cake. Blessings on your journey!
