154.5 today. My weight is holding steady in the mid-150’s, which is a huge relief to me now that I’m on hiatus from the diet. No measuring, counting calories, tracking… nada. I’m going rogue!
But seriously, maintaining this weight in a “normal” way is a really big deal to me. I’m nervous, but also kind of excited too. For the first several days after going off plan, it was hard to get in the groove, to shake the diet-mind. It was hard not to add up the calories in my head while I ate. I still have an impulse to grab my color-coded exercise chart after I take a walk or run. I still step on the scale a few times a week, but this habit I’ll keep, although I have cut back and feel less compulsive about it. As long as I remember to weigh in on Sunday mornings… that’s my ritual.
It’s going pretty well so far. I feel much less freaked out that I’ll lose control. I’m fine. It’s all good…
