Another Great Milestone

The holidays are upon us and, already, the goodies are making their way into my home no matter how diligently I keep watch over the front door. The latest entry was home baked persimmon fruit cake. I have a Persimmon tree in my yard and usually give most of them away. In return, I always receive Persimmon baked goodies. This bread is sooooo delicious... I polished the entire thing off myself in less than a week. Oh my goodness......

Thinking about the wonderful bread I finished off last night, I was feeling a little guilty walking passed my scale this morning. I've been avoiding it and that's been on purpose. I don't mind gaining a few pounds during the holidays as long as I don't go overboard.  Five pounds, tops.

With this new thought in mind, I stepped on my scale. I might as well know where I'm at so come January 1st, the damages will be clearly identifiable.

All of this worry for nothing as when I stepped on the scale, I almost fell off as I couldn't believe what I saw.  My last weigh-in on November 4th I was 186.0.  Today.... well, a picture is worth a thousand words!

I almost fell off the scale when I saw this! Happy dance time...

That's 8 1/2 pounds in little over a month.... a great rate for losing unwanted FAT! I'm thinking I could be wearing my size 10's for Christmas!

How are you doing with your goals? I would love to hear from you and offer you some encouragement. Do drop me a note or leave a comment to let me know.
