Whew…all this time I waited for TOM to leave and lost 1 lb.  I will acknowledge and move on.  I’m staying away from the scale this week.  I am an everyday weigher.  I want to wait until Saturday to do my first check in this week.  That will help otherwise I get discouraged.  Besides I know it is a bit more difficult because I’m not exercising.  November 6th can’t get here fast enough.  I was questioning waiting that long –3 weeks–but I felt a little pain yesterday and I turned my foot funny today.  A sign I still need to wait and that I’m still not steady on my foot yet.  I do plan to go get fitted for a running shoe next Thursday.  I know I need to run for them to analyze me but it shouldn’t be for a long period of time.  I should be fine.  I’ve been drinking water and I’m on my 4th cup and I’m feeling bloated and getting tired of going to the bathroom.
