    I haven't done this in a while... I'm basically maintaining.
    @WifiresGettingFit what made you decide to try a scale and diet break?

    @VeryKatie The scale break is mostly because I got tired of seeing the number go up and also I kinda miss seeing the whoosh when I would weigh only once a week so I may go back to that after my break. When you weigh every day like I have been since the beginning of March, there really aren't very many surprises and the whole break actually started by me forgetting to weigh Saturday morning and it just felt nice to just not have that data point for some reason so I just decided I'm gonna take a break for a bit.

    The diet break has been suggested by various people both indirectly and directly for a while now and since I've been on this journey for almost a year now it's probably long overdue. I think I will start incorporating them every 8-16 weeks depending on how things go but I think the final nudge to actually take the break was that this past week didn't go that great at all (no surprise really) and also reading the thread that I linked to in my previous post. I was reading it and I'm just like that makes sense, that's me, oh I like that approach, etc, etc.

    EDIT: and I want to add that no matter how I spin it or try to achieve it being in a deficit sucks. haha

    Ugh. I'm up over 200 again thanks to Thanksgiving. Vacation is in 8 days and I'm super fluffy :( oh well, no need to dwell on it. Move onward! Hubby and I have a plan to try to maintain during vacation and get back to serious losing after. We will TTC as soon as we care cleared to not have zika. (new local transmission in Texas! So scary)
    I'm going to get back to logging with you puffbrat!
