I noticed that I’m slipping with the daily posts. I’m not off plan or anything, just seem to not get my act together each night to post. Since I know that’s a danger sign, I’m going to make more of an effort this coming week to get stuff posted.

This morning’s weigh-in was 236.8, which is 1.8 pounds down from last week. The 9-week loss is 13.0lbs (1.44/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 23 on plan with food.

I finally feel like I’m pretty much in control of myself. However, I see the warning signs creeping in, so I’m keeping an eye on them. Even though yesterday came in on plan, I didn’t actually do the meal plan until after I’d eaten breakfast. I know it’s not a big deal, but sometimes it’s the little things that do you in. I did the same this morning - made and ate breakfast and then did the meal plan. This coming week I’ll make sure that I’m back to doing them the night before.

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.
