Sunday Reflections: October

As previously mentioned, most of this month was a controlled break for me. I maintained my weight loss and more or less enjoyed myself. I did however, take a great deal of extra walks and went to the gym as much as I could.
November is looking ridiculously busy for me, so I am hoping I will be able to implement more of the Curves food plan and gym attendance recommendations, but realistically I won’t be able to give it 110% that I would like as I just won’t have the energy. But I am already making meals to keep in the freezer for those really busy nights and workdays, so perhaps I will be able to do better than I am anticipating.

Semi-Break

I decided a little while ago, that I needed a semi-break. I didn't count calories, or points or eat according to any plan but didn't eat unhealthy either. I wasn't diligent about going to the gym x times a week but did go when it fit into my schedule nicely. I do however, walk like 50 miles from the parking lot to my class every Tuesday night (seriously, the free parking is really far from my class), but I don't think that really counts as regular exercise since it is only once a week.
Anyway, I don't quite remember what I weight last time I posted (about a month ago) but I think I have pretty much just maintained at 10lbs lost. Every now and then I step on the scale and it gives me a delightfully lower number, but it isn't consistent enough to count it as a loss just yet - almost though.
I am trying to figure out when to go back on the Curves plan (full-time) as it was working out better than other plans have for me, but I haven't landed on an actual date just yet. Winter is just about here, and for whatever reason I tend to do better that time of year rather than any other (as previously mentioned).
