maintain my weight

I am proud of myself for that. Now, I did eat some Halloween candy but this year I did not buy and specific for the house (or us) and did not eat any that was in the house. I feel very good about this!

Need to watch it a bit this week. Just had a heart to heart with myself on that.

I’ve had one “over the top” weigh in but otherwise I’ve stayed under the ceiling.

Now I have new “ceiling” weight. If ever I am at or over that first thing in the AM I need to reorder my priorities to fit in more exercise for the next seven days (at least.) Also, I will need to make sure that I am packing lunches and reign in the eating if required. I do hope to still lose some more but this ceiling is a major milestone for me. It is a weight that I look and feel good at and one that I KNOW I am be at long term because I have done that before.

Test

By 1/1/2010, I want to be within 5 pounds of my current weight.

Gained 3 or 4kg over winter this year, so now the race is on to see how soon I can feel comfortable wearing summer clothes again. I know what I need to do…eat less, move more. Easy to say, not so easy to do with Christmas next week!

But I’ve stabilized (er, plateaued) and I want to learn to be happy with myself at this weight. I’m 10 lbs under where I was for years, and have stayed at least that low for almost a year. That’s something to acknowledge and be happy about. I’m tired of cursing myself for not reaching some tiny ideal.

i’ve just recently reached my goal weight and i’m hoping to maintain it :)

I’ll be extra pleased if/when I get to the # ending in 3 in the next few weeks. Bonus elated pleasure for anything below that.

I’m in that mindset again: it takes a lot to be fit and healthy every day. It takes making it my primary focus. But I’m happiest when I’m doing so. I can also see why I get burnt out and lazy in cycles every few to six months or so. It’s a lot of hard work and is draining after awhile. For now, I’m on an upswing. I love not feeling tired and pudgy all the time.
