Fun sized!
Why oh why did I buy Halloween chocolates today? They're small little things, but one is never enough. Halloween is a week away, and I just set myself up for failure. This week is going to kill my willpower. Kids Halloween party on Saturday, Grown up Halloween Party on Sat. night, then the sacred candy night itself on Monday. How is everyone else dealing with the loads of Halloween candies in the store? Oh and did I mention Aunt Flo is visiting. I need a plan. I need a... miracle.
Anyway, I'm back. From a summer hiatus, or so it turned out. Unplanned. As most of my life has been lately. I am starting to get some structure back into my week now that school has started again for my oldest son. My scale bit the dust, so I've been unaccountable for a while. Finally got another one last week, and I am up, but not as much as I had feared. About 5 lbs over the summer. I'm not taking comfort in this though. My body shape is not what it should be. The muffin top is back. I refuse to move back into bigger jeans, so it's back on the diet bandwagon for me. Time is my enemy though. I have no energy in the fall as the days get shorter I find my ability to be productive shrinks. I just can't get into doing anything active unless it's a sunny day.
On to the positive now. Onward and upward... no make that downward. I signed myself up for Skating lessons! My Fall treat to myself. I haven't gone skating for 10 + years. I had feared being a big Bambi on Ice, with my legs going in independent directions. I was actually... OK. In fact, I am the best skater in my class. *cough*of3people*cough* I feel fit when I'm skating though. I glide on the ice and I feel like a plus-sized Olympian. There should be such a thing. For serious, I would rock that shit. Plus, I learned to do a spin this week! A Spin! My 3 year-old daughter was so impressed. I'm still crap at stopping though. Which, I guess, is kind of important. Weirdly this requires using my inner thigh muscles, so it's not surprising.
The plan for the week:
- No eating after 6pm
- Take new body measurements
- Work out at least 3 times for 45 minutes.
- 50 minute skating lesson.
- Avoid Halloween Chocolate.
*In fact, I will work on developing a chocolate allergy this week. That will do, perfectly.

Have a good week!
