Maintaining is good!

I understand about stress - this past month I ate out a lot more and want to buckle down a bit in May. But at the same time I didn't grow to resent my new healthier habits, still lost a couple pounds, and FEEL really, really good mentally and physically.

Yeah I wanted to lose ten pounds at least and lost like 4 but....I'm still going in the right direction. Anyhow sometimes you have to know when it's time to not let healthy eating destroy your life.

Well this morning the whoosh fairy came and I weighed in at 297. My goal for the April daily weigh in thread was 296, it's possible that I could hit that tomorrow, though I'm not holding my breath.

I kept fearing I'd suddenly be back at 305 but I was pretty on plan. I think all the extra walking made me hold water for a bit.

It was pouring down rain this morning but it's clearing now - my hiking boots and trekking poles are in the car waiting for me.

We just have to stay at the same weight apparently!

I guess so!

294 today. Not quite there, but getting closer!

You're still one of us!

More than halfway to the next decade though!

Ok, I feel like I can legitimately post today. I have been struggling to get back on track and I made it to the gym today for a little spin class torture. I just have to make myself go for a couple of weeks and then it should be part of my routine. Tomorrow is body pump, so I need to be there. It's so hard to get back in the groove!!!

You can legitimately post any day - dealing with the good and bad are both important!

I have trouble posting when I am not even trying....

Anyway, hopefully that is past now. I went to the gym again today, body pump. It must have been good because I hurt all over. The price you pay....

I am amazed at how I almost talked myself out of going this morning. I need to somehow get the lazy voice out of my head!! I think I might weigh tomorrow. I usually weigh on Mondays, but maybe twice a week would be better.

I must have been holding water or something cause I've been whooshing over the past few days! Two pounds to go ahhh flkdjlkfmds

Slashnl, I know what you mean about the lazy voice! Good job for doing it anyway

I need some good whooshing!

lol apparently I just can't stay in the 200's gotta always go back into the 300s. The last 2 days have had me back up at 301ish.

I need to get more serious about water/sleep I think.

Did another hike yesterday - it was up, up, up hill. Got a great workout. I'm healthier than ever, just still hovering right on that 300 mark. Ggggrrrrrrrrrr.

Day 3 at the gym. I made it to spin. New instructor for me, and he was good. I kept looking at him, he seemed really fit and young, yet there was something about what he said and his voice that made him seem older. Then, when he mentioned something about seeing his grandkids this weekend, I knew he just looked really young for his age. Smart guy, staying that fit.

I also weighed, and it was higher. Ticks me off, but with just getting back into working out, it might be water retention. But, I'm going to adjust my ticker. It is what it is, and I just need to keep going.

rodeogirl: You should get some rewards for being so active and healthy. That weight should drop!!! Hang in there!

JustB1027 - Any luck yet?

rodeogirl - I feel your pain! I was stuck there for the past few months, going between about 294 - 302 just back and forth back and forth. Keep at it, the weight will come off eventually! It's got to!

Slashnl - Good for you to sticking to the gym! For me, whenever I start any new kind of exercise, I shoot up on the scale. Guess my muscles need a lot of water to recover! You're right, and you have a really good attitude. A whoosh is coming your way!

I don't know why, but this thread has seriously motivated me to bust outta the 290s once and for all! I've been stuck up here for so long that I couldn't imagine ever getting out of it, but I'm so so close!

I only weigh on Sundays. I dont expect anything good though. I have ate out for dinner every night this week!!! I tracked everything as best as I could! I stayed within my MFP calories but I ended up using some of my WW weekly points. I did not get my walking in every day but I did most days. I can't predict the scale but we will see in the morning!!!
