Recap
I crossed the 160-pound line on the scale. I knew it was time for a change.
I got under 160 pounds on my own!  I did it! I got to 155 pounds. But then the scale didn't move. At all. And I was feeling really frustrated.

The ups and downs of my weight correspond with what's been happening in my life: the recent hurricane that affected my area, the election, an increased workload - oh, and Halloween! Emotions are high. And then there are those chocolate cupcakes I made last week ...
Thank you for sticking with me on this journey. I feel great and will continue to make my health a priority. It really isn't all about that darn scale. Though I'm still working on getting (and staying) under 140 pounds, I am focusing my time and energy on myself, my family and friends and my work.
