Down .6 to 126.8 for the week. Doing a little personal challenge for the 76 days between Easter and the Summer Solstice (June 21). No biggie, as always. I'm at a healthy weight for my less than 5'2" frame but want to move toward my also healthy goal. Will be, as usual, counting cals and trying to keep them under 2000, which I didn't do today, but that's okay dokey. Hoppy Easter.

Monday, April 6, calories: 1980 (huzzah, under 2000)

Exercise: 11,000+ steps, daily conditioning routine & 15-min weights

Had some breakthroughs as far as emotional stability yesterday, too. Moving on mentally from some moodiness and ridiculous thought processes that have been bogging me down and contributing to stress eating.

Another big breakthrough is I have FINALLY accepted the fact that I JUST CAN'T EAT HERSHEY BARS & CONTROL EATING. This is serious; I have had a mad love affair with HBs practically forever and the reasons have to do with some happy memories from long ago and that's valid BUT the bars (which are gluten free so I can eat them, sadly) are just too triggering for me as far as impacting weight management in a negative way. I did not have any on Sunday or Monday and this is DAY THREE OF THE NO HB LIFESTYLE.

It's been a healthy week:

For the first time in a number of years, a small amount of jogging has been mixed into my walking routine. It's been fun and the knees are not hurting so we'll keep it.

The project of NOT eating a daily Hershey bar (or bars) has been going well, too.

That's pretty much it. The official Sunday weigh-in will happen tomorrow (today) and we'll see how the land lies.

And the OFFICIAL SUNDAY TALE O' THE SCALE is up .6 to 127.4 and am happy with that as I had slightly higher daily weights all this week after the nice low last Sunday.

I also had a healthy calorie week with no deprivation and am still banning my number 1 trigger food, Mr. Hershey Bar. I have added a little sensible jogging into my routine and my knees are telling me that's okay.

I am at a healthy weight, just wanting not to go back up the scale to where I was decades ago (way higher than now). And I'd like someday to get to my 118 goal again (I'm 5'2" and that's a healthy BMI and my clothes fit best at that weight and I also feel good at that weight) but am in no hurry.

All is well in the land but I have to study today so that's all, folks.
