I am two pounds away from my goal and I think I’ve hit a plateau. I’ve tried shaking up my diet by adding new foods, then trying to restrict things for a day or two, just to fool the metabolism. There’s no fooling Mother Nature, as they say. But the good news is that my body is actively working to reduce my size. I have lost another 7 inches overall. That keeps me focused. I may not see the scale move, but I can see that I need to go shopping!

My husband and I took measurements today. He has lost about 16  pounds without even trying to lose weight. He’s just eating what I am. He is now working on getting fit using weights. I think it’s time for me to do some more weight-bearing exercises. I can see that even if the weight is coming off, the flab can still remain. I want to tone and tighten. Not looking for a major buff appearance. HAHA – like that would happen.

Time now to complete the picture. I’ve been working on my inner self while trying to make he outer self appear smaller. Here’s the philosophy I’ve adopted:

If I can handle those seven things, I should be doing fine. I’ve taken control of my weight, the rest should be a piece of cake (must be gluten-free). I must be overworked today because I am extremely punny.

So much to do to prepare for my new career. I’ve got a web site being built, content being written, and I’m studying, studying, studying. I want to help as many people as I can to feel better about themselves like I do now. It’s an amazing transformation and it feels great!
