It’s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and today was my last day of teaching for the week. It’s 8:40 pm and I’m in pajamas. On TV, a newish holiday movie is playing that is attempting to kindle that old Hollywood charm but is (sadly) missing the mark. Instead of watching the show, I find myself thinking about my weight loss journey instead. It’s been a long stretch between posts, so here are some things that are going well:
- I’m on a 277-day streak for food journaling
- I’m also on a 41-week streak of working out every day.
- Every day I drink 64 ounces of water and take vitamins.
- My gratitude journal is almost completely full.
I have really garnered some momentum on my journey and that makes me feel pretty great. Now that the holidays are here I am reflecting on what I want to achieve. At my last Weight Watcher meeting, we discussed having a strategy for Thanksgiving. At first, I thought I’d pre-track everything that I plan on eating, but now I don’t think that’s the way to go. I’m going to treat it like any other day. I’m going to eat what I want, track it all. What I’m doing now is working so I think I’ll just keep doing this.
To anyone taking the time to read this post, I say, let’s take on that attitude of gratitude, as we lift our glasses, and say,” Cheers to us!” as we keep becoming the best versions of ourselves.
Getting to Goal 
Enjoy your time off!
I’m recently back home from 10 days off and am very conscious of my food, workout and water intake! Weighing myself everyday to stay motivated too.
I was thinking about thanksgiving dinner when I was getting dressed for workout just now and wondering why is it as soon as I see food (mainly snacks) I feel like I have to eat them! Like they’ll be sad if I don’t. Definitely something I need to be aware of tomorrow and through the holiday parties coming up!
Have a great Thanksgiving!

This note is a keeper. It has been printed and it is the bookmark in my journal. My stats shoe hit and miss at the gym and tracking. This also means that my results show little success. Thanks for helping me.
