Okay, it’s a couple of days late. Just some things happening
around the house that have disturbed my routine, but I’m adjusting. Here are
the month-end numbers from Nov. 11 to Dec. 11:

I ended up 5.7 lbs. above target. Much of this I discussed
in the last couple of weekly progress reports. I’ve accepted that I won’t be
under 200 by Jan. 1; but if I stick with my current budget, I can get under
202.6 by Jan. 11, which would be 100 lbs. lost in 11 months. If, after that
point, I return to my beginning calorie deficit, I can get under 200 by Jan. 19
and under 196 by Feb. 4.
On the positive side, in the last two days, I weighed in at
210.6 this morning, despite having lost the negotiations with myself and made a
pan of peanut butter fudge. (It’s delicious, although a bit crumbly.) If I stay
on top of my intake, I can make the under-210 primary goal by Monday, the end
of Week 44. I do have roast turkey planned for tomorrow night, but we’re not
doing all the traditional sides; that’s too much work and too many calories. Certainly,
there’ll be stuffing, but the green beans will be roasted and the potatoes won’t
be mashed. For sweetness, there’ll be a Waldorf salad made with yogurt. So with
some self-control, the turkey dinner shouldn’t interfere with achieving the
under-210 mark by Monday.
