Okay, I can take the hint.. actually it’s more like a jab on the side with a stick.  I certainly have had a few non-diet days this week, sometimes it’s just very difficult to resist.. no I take that back.. it’s very easy to resist, the trouble is REMEMBERING to resist! 

So less then perfect eating habits this week combined with a little less outdoor activity due to weather and here I sit with yet another pound on me.  The good news is not all was lost and I’m still 3 pounds lighter from the day I started and as my mentor Daisaku Ikeda has said so often, “We begin each day a new!”

Heading into my 3rd week of the 100-Day Challenge and I’m feeling great!

I had to hold back from being disappointed from this mornings weigh-in, I did gain back a pound from last week but as I thought about it I remembered that I dropped 5 the previous week (which people have commented that it was a bit too much) so I’m still averaging a 2 pound loss per week average which is probably very realistic.  I really need to drop 50 total, more would be a bonus but as I always profess.. just happy with the downward trend.

Looking at my activity report, I’m very happy.  I just went out and started walking and moving with no goals in mind.  As it turns out a flat-trail walk of 1-hour is very palatable to me and during poor weather, a half hour with the resistance band goes well too.

Oh.. and for those of you who caught my utter about the old ladies power-walking…  I’m sticking to doing my own solo walks at my own pace.. I’m enjoying my alone time.

That’s it for this week.. I’ll keep y’all posted!
