This morning’s weigh-in was 238.6, which is 2.2 pounds down from last week. The 9-week loss is 13.4lbs (1.49/week) which is usually the ‘number’ I look at to see how things are going overall. The other little compulsive number I look at is how many days I’ve been ‘on plan’ primarily with food. I still consider a maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So this is day 16 on plan with food.

I finally feel like I’m back in control of myself. The drop this week was nice, but some of that may be getting back to regular workouts. I’ll see how I’m doing in a couple of weeks to decide if the calorie levels are good.

Next week’s plan is:

Continue on with The New Rules of Lifting for Women, 3 days a week. Cardio if I feel like it. For March at least that I’ll do 1900 on non-workout days and 2200 on lifting days and see how that goes.
