Happy, happy Halloween, everyone! I hope you’re out Trick-or-Treating, attending some special Halloween-themed events, or handing out candy to kids dressed up and having the time of their lives.

Since it’s the end-of-October/beginning-of-November, today is the day I do my monthly reporting on my “Losing the Lard” progress, or lack thereof.
Brian took this picture of me at breakfast this morning. To date I have gone from 205 pounds to my present 105 pounds. (I have officially reached my weight goal now. My range will be 105-110. (Lately I have gone below 105, but we’re tweaking what we’re eating some and I’m increasing my portions a bit. I’m also flirting with the idea of eating a little something mid day and keeping the other meals and portions the same.)
There is 96.2 inches less of me than there used to be. (This Shar-Pei is my twin!) I’m concentrating now on exercises to get me stronger, more flexible, have more stamina, improve my balance, increase relaxation, range of motion, etc. – all things that will allow me to continue to do what I would like to do for as long as possible. My measurements ARE still changing, so maybe I can get rid of a wrinkle or two, but I’m not worried about it.

I’m going to try to write an article for Substack today, do my water bottle exercises (including a new one from my good friend Sheila from her Moves Methods called, “Opening the Shoulders” that I’ll try today. I’ll also go to the cafe to start some new sketches this afternoon.
