Monday 9-30-13

There's a lot of distractions this time of year. The holiday seasons are approaching, there's Halloween around the corner, which can result in an overload of sugar. We always buy too much candy and always wind up eating it all. No one comes down this street except the kids that live on this street and a few strays. They all go to Piedmont for the "good" candy. Then there's the pies, cakes, cookies and desserts for the holidays, which are right around the corner.

There's an upcoming visit to Mississippi in November which could be a trip down the fried food highway if I'm not careful. All these obstacles are barriers in my way to a healthier life that have to be navigated like a sea of icebergs. My compass to navigate these icebergs is my weak will.

There's also a trip to Escalon in late October for a writing class. Escalon is famous for it's fresh baked bread that is available 24 hours a day.

I've set forth in motion a blueprint of a plan for the month of October that might not be sustainable. I hope I'm not setting myself up for failure. I have my doubts about the fasting component of my health plan. It's difficult for me to gauge how effective that element has been in talking weight off.

I weighed in one last time this morning and I won't weigh in again till Nov. 31 Halloween, but I'm dead on 210 pounds. It does't matter if I cycle 3 fucking hours or not, the scale doesn't budge,

If I stick to all the other points of my October plan I think I'll accomplish the goal of 4 measly pounds off my fat ass.

No coffee starting today. Here comes the headache.
