Almost a 160 handle
Getting back in the 160's will be a big mental boost for me. I haven't been in the 160's since December of '23.
Halfway mark on the calendar
Even though my exercise output slowed in September, the rate of my weight loss still has me on track for 50 down before Santa comes to town.
Dangerous Doughnut Diversion
The primary reason I do not take "cheat days" when I'm in a fitness routine is that it takes more days to get back on the path than the one I spent wandering from it. My Labor Day cheat day turned into two weeks of weight gaining, stomach gurgling, blister busting delay. I started with a Labor Day doughnut binge. Krispy Kreme had a buy a dozen get a second dozen for $2 deal. I mean, if you're going to cheat, go big or go home. However, the short diversion into a sugar coma came with a longer recovery. I added five pounds to 182 that week. The week after that I was down with a mild illness after also getting a nasty skating blister on my ankle bone. I haven't skated for 10 days. This week has been a return to the drill. I've been walking every day and keeping a 20 hour fasting schedule. I hope I'll be back on my skates this weekend.
