I don't have a plan for dinner or snacks yet. I have a friend coming over to watch a movie and a couple of TV shows but we didn't talk about eating. He's coming at 5:30 so I assume well get dinner but I'm not sure (I think he is trying to eat health too but doesn't like to talk about it). So I'll update later.

Hey! I've been out of town.

sotypical, maintenance is going great! I've maintained my weight within a couple of pounds up or down for three weeks now. And the great thing is that I feel like I am eating ALL the time! It's mostly just that my expectations about eating have changed so much with weight loss--that adding a couple hundred calories seems extravagant. It's like--Ooooo I get an extra peach? Wow, I can have more blueberries? And nuts? :woohoo:

So it's well worth staying with your plan to get to your goal! :D
