"After all, tomorrow is another day"

Not so much day by day as hour by hour.

Made it through Hallowe'en with ingesting no more than half a dozen Tootsie Rolls and two mini chocolate bars.

There's baking on the counter, cookies for lunches, cupcakes a friend brought by, as I'm laid up with back issues (likely due in some part to obesity) ...I make sure there's a bowl of cheerful cherry tomatoes and bright green snap peas on that same counter so I have a chance to reconsider before having "just one" cookie.

Not that I couldn't have a cookie. It's just that losing 100 pounds will happen faster if I don't have one.

Favourite snack this week? Pickled asparagus.

I haven't been weighed in a few weeks - too many people doing my driving for me as it is, and the nutritionist is way across town and I am oddly reluctant to talk numbers yet, for some reason. That's not precisely true - I don't mind saying I started this journey at pretty much exactly the same place I started last time, which was still at least a dozen pounds lower than my highest ever.

Onward and downward. Pass the pickles.

Pickled asparagus? Are you serious? If that were all that was available, I would definitely lose weight! My personal fave healthy snack is a thin coating of organic almond butter on a rye crisp cracker. There's something bout having to work a little to prepare it that makes me feel like eating well might be worth it. I love this blog, Susan. You set the standard for healthy transparency. Nancynnr
