November reset

I hit my goal weight on my goal day! Yay me! And then Hallowe’en happened, with its stress over costume-making, lack of sleep, and abundance of candy. So I’m in reset mode, to get my healthy habits back on track (especially sleep!). Thank goodness as well for the end of daylight savings, so mornings aren’t quite as grim as they were.

So far, so good. After a week, I’m back to where I was. Biggest thing I think has been tap. My instructor suggested using a metronome instead of music—to be able to fine-tune the tempo—and it also allows me to focus more on the rhythm without getting distracted by the melody. I have been practising so much more, feel like I might be making progress (at least I know what mistakes I am making and why, now), and I definitely feel the difference in my lower body—both in how the muscles feel, and how my clothes fit. It really does not take much to make a difference, and it is so much fun!
