I changed my mind and decided not to inflict the visual reality of my Mom-Flesh on my loyal readers this month. Logistically it would be difficult for TMOTH and I to do the photos today. My nephew is staying with us for a few weeks and I don’t want to permanently scar him for life.
I haven’t lost as much weight as I would have liked to this month. I have lost some inches. In fact, all my clothing now fits perfectly again. I’m a bit heavier than I was when it last fit perfectly, so I’m assuming the strength training I do twice a week is working and that I have put on a bit of muscle. Still, things are moving in a positive direction. This is the size I tend to settle in to. I suspect it will take a bit of concerted effort to reduce further.
At this point, as the holidays approach, my goal is to stay where I am and not put on any holiday weight. In January, I’ll really look at my diet and exercise and see what I can do about getting rid of that menopot. I must note here that the gymnastics rings that TMOTH installed in the garage for me seem to be having a positive effect on the bat wings.
Without further ado, here are my stats compared with last month.

We’re getting ready to hit the road to check out the farm today. I’ll post a report in my next blog.

Those numbers add up pretty nice to me. I have no idea what my waist is, and I don’t want to know. It hasn’t been a 29 since I was 29. I’m impressed. Judy.
Thank you When I read your comment to Matt, he said “I would have thought her waist was thinner than that” 😀 Perhaps you would be pleasantly surprised if you measured.
