maintain my weight

In the right zone – well away from my “cieling.” Feeling and looking good.

Under the “ceiling weight” this morning. Thought I would be lower because I have been working out a lot, but I wasn’t… oh well. I’m still happy about this.

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.
