Last week I had the best break from work ever...I paddled 4 times. read 3 books, and managed to get some major housecleaning done! On top of that I had some fun fall outings wih my family.

I am also learning so much about myself right now. I am figuring out that I will never succeed on my weight loss journey if I can't figure out and triumph against my demons. Yesterday I had a real upset happen, but instead of turning to food I went to the library and took out 6 books. I read 125 pages of a new book before bed and managed to avoid a major calorie binge. That paid off when I went to the doctor this morning and weighed 5 pounds less than when I was there a month ago. Woo hoo! I felt triumphant and I want to keep feeling like that!
