I don’t know what the deal is, but it seems like on the first of every month, I drop a few pounds. Can’t be on the last day of the month so I can attribute it to the previous month’s progress, but the first day of the new month. Let me stop bitchin’ because progress is progress and I’ll take it any way I can get it.

******Drum roll please…******

I am down to 240 pounds!!! WOOOO HOOO!!!!!! I have lost a total of 37 pounds so far. I think I started October at 247 and ended at 242. November first was the day I hit 240.

I have these DKNY Jeans in a size 16 (a regular 16, not the big girls 16 also known as 16W, and yes, there is a difference) I bought back in 2005. I can’t wear them comfortably, but I was able to put them on!!! WOOOOO HOOOO!!!!! I have also noticed that my clothes are really starting to be slouchy and I think I need to take a trip to the goodwill to find some “temporary” clothes that fit.

I had some trying times in the month of October, so I’m very proud of my progress. I didn’t eat any Halloween candy! I did have some cake, but that’s because Yours Truly made the cake for my friend’s husband for his birthday, so of course I had to sample my wares! And it was quite tasty, might I add. I’ve perfected my cake recipe so well that I could give Publix a run for their money. I’m actually thinking about trying to get into baking or catering again, as a side business. We’ll see.

I had a ball the weekend of Halloween. I dressed up as a cop, handcuffs and all. I had *quite* a good time playing with the handcuffs, also. They are real handcuffs - please don’t ask why I have them. I met up with an old guy friend of mine and he seemed quite intrigued with my cop outfit. I might have to save it for a special occasion if I ever find a boyfriend. I’ll post some pictures of the outfit later, and hopefully you can see my weight loss in the pictures also.

November is a month for Hope, Change, and thanks, and in many areas of my life, I am going to try and embrace these principles. I am HOPING that I can be down to 235 by month end…by changing my mindset, staying with the CHANGES that I’ve made in terms of diet and exercise, and thanking God for the blessings I’ve been given!!!

Watch out world, the new me is just below the surface…and she’s gonna be naked! YES WE CAN!

Til later,
