Sorry, first off, about the quality of the photo. My telephone camera is getting worse and worse! Second, I want you to know that I didn’t want to step on the scale this morning, much less actually post this weight. I have been at a conference, where there wasn’t the kind of choice or control over my food options I am used to – nor was there time for the level of exercise I prefer to keep the day’s net calories in check. But the reality is that I am up several pounds and it isn’t only because of the conference. I haven’t been making the choices which I know are best in the long run – I’ve been managing stress and overload by falling into old patterns.

So, even though I thought about not posting this week, I did. The point is to share that a journey of the sort I’m on isn’t one that moves in a straight line. In real life, as opposed to “The Biggest Loser”, we sometimes go in circles. I’m (hopefully) done going in circles and am back to a straighter trajectory – at least, that is the choice I am making in this moment. And this moment is the only one I know about for sure!
