This past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I had a very challenging three days at my church convention. There were people sitting all around me who had bags of candy. For the entire three days for 3-4 hours they were consuming candy. And what I saw was myself in the past doing the same thing. honestly, it was very difficult and tempting. but I was able to refused. In the past years, I would not have been able to refused. I would’ve joined in with them and thought nothing about it! I stayed strong and I passed it up. Yay.! I’ll take this small victory

I am happy to say for the first time my life, I did not eat one piece of candy or sugar treat for the past weekend or prior to this weekend during this Halloween season. Not one piece I stayed strictly to my low carb diet and dranked plenty of fluids. Though, there was lots of treats around because my daughter-in-law and son who lives with me, they love to bake. I didn’t touch that either. They wanted to pass out candy. I didn’t touch that either and this is the honest truth. Again, as for as I can remember, this was the very first time in my life that I did not eat any kind of sugar treats of any kind during this past Halloween. I am so happy that I made it through. I feel good. I’m taking this journey day by day, but I’m very serious. I noticed that my shoes are very loose now because I no longer have any swelling in my ankles & feet. Now I can see my ankle bones again! That’s a big deal for me! I am going to consider this a success for this season. OK I gotta go through Thanksgiving and the other major holiday season and then January my 73rd birthday so I’m going to keep trying to make purposeful decisions, but I’m definitely feeling on the right track. I will continue my 10,000 steps and do my exercise daily and try my best to continue to be focused!

I forgot to press record earlier. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I have a legal matter that has come up recently that I have to handle that day

Move with a strategy and less stress.
