Hi Everyone,
I've been MIA for a while. 3 jobs, school, this diet and a potential move was just too much for me. I put my MRC program on pause while I simplify my life and I nixed the move, so things are finally doing better. My center said to just stay on pre-conditioning until I come back OP. I've been using this time to eat my own healthy way, so I could see if I would gain/lose/maintain on my own. My way includes eating more and exercising more. I actually really enjoying hiking and going to the gym, but I felt that OP I was on such a restricted diet that I didn't want to push it (I'm already giving many hours of massage a week).
So I've been off plan about a week now. I had a few days of responsibly enjoying off plan foods and exercising. And I've been maintaining my weight, but looking and feeling more fit. This morning I finally broke into the 170's, woohoo!!
I'm proud of you all with your weight loss and don't want you guys to be discouraged with 1-3 lb loses. Your body can be losing lots of inches during that time and it's probably safer to go slowly. Keep your eye on how far you've come! I'm so glad to have you all for support and insight. I should be coming back OP once school is over. Keep on a rockin' ladies! (and men if there are any)
