Not A Very Good Month

October just hasn't been a good month for me for some reason. I don't know if it's because the weather is getting colder, the skies are cloudier or what. But so far this month, I've only lost 3 pounds :( for a total of 43 pounds lost since I started this journey 6 months ago. But ya know what? I'm okay with that. Really, I am. I haven't been able to work out as much as I'd like with working at the gym now, so I know that has a lot to do with it. But I am going to change that! I'll admit, it's hard to workout after working at the gym.....when my shift is done, I just wanna go home & relax. But I know now that I can't do that & this month has proved that.

Things will definitely change come November. Tonight, they're having a Halloween Party for all the member's children which means the gym is going to be packed with kids everywhere, so I doubt that I'll be able to even exercise tonight. Then next week, we're going home to visit my family, but we'll be staying in a hotel that has gym equipment & you can bet I'll be using it! :)

If you read my other blog, I posted the results of our Biggest Loser competition with before & after pictures of Jim & I. It was a lot of fun, but we're still not sure if we're going to join it again. They're going to be doing a 6 week course starting next Thursday, but since we'll be out of town, we'll miss the first week anyway. So we'll see.....we're still thinking about it. It would be nice to have that support during the holidays, though as we all know that's when people tend to gain weight. All those holiday meals, homemade cookies, fudge.....yummm :) It's definitely going to be very hard to resist those this year! I still plan on baking, but not the BIG batches of cookies like I made in previous years.

Someone needs to beg Toni for an update :) I know she's been busy also, but we need to keep her on track & support her. Yoohoo.....Toni.....are you out there??? :)

Till next time,

Benita
