I am dreading this report more than I can say. But I promised I would do an update on the last Tuesday of the month on my prep for the 5K next year. Let's just say I barely exercised this month. I got sidelined by two bouts of sickness, a seized up back and neck, a couple of migraines and a completely psycho schedule.
That said. I realize a lot of the problem was the fact that I got off my schedule of working out. Now that it is darker later in the morning, I really don't want to wake up too early. By the time I have a few minutes to work out it is too late in the morning (I have things to do) or too late at night, when my crazy schedule and exhaustion set in. But I am determined I will find a schedule that works for me and I will get my back in shape again.
I did exercise this morning. Well more of a stretch and strengthen session. But at least I am motivated again.
I lost a total of 2 pounds this month and I am not sure that even counts. I am eating a lot better at breakfast and lunch but I am also baking up a storm and I can't seem to keep my fingers out of all the tasty doughs. I am really trying to eat more veggie friendly meals and I feel a lot better when I am consciously eating well thought out meals rather than unconsciously snacking as I wander through the house from one task to the next.
Hopefully next month I will have better news to report. I am really nervous because I know I have a busy month ahead of me. Becca is getting baptized on the 31st. Her birthday is on the 15th. I am working on a really big writing project. I still have a lot of preserving to do and Halloween is coming. Somehow I will make this a priority.

Hey 2lbs is 2lbs and good for you for workin at it!
I think eating is half the battle. If you can eat good it'll be a piece of cake.
