    Congratulations! All in just 2 years, wow! The picture with your beautimous kiddo made me sit up and take notice because kids change SO fast and he's an obvious sign of how much awesomeness you exuded in that short time.

    what are your plans for maintaining and staying so focused now that you have reached your ultimate goal? would you share a few of your meals for tips and ideas?

    My current plan is to log most days. Right now I eat at a small deficit during the week and moderate surplus on weekends, but I think I need to re-evaluate it because my goal has changed a bit, body-composition wise, and it will be better met through a more consistent intake schedule.

    I'm not an intuitive eater, other than intuitively eating ALL THE FOOD, so that's why I'll keep logging. It's worth the 15 minutes a day it takes.

    I'll continue having goals. Right now they are weight training related. In the fall I'll shift back to running and train for a half marathon. When that's done I'll go replace the muscle I burn up doing endurance training :)

    My goals will be smaller and less externally motivated, but that's okay. I like how I feel, and continuing to have this feeling is an incredible incentive.

    I'll post another blog with meal ideas, and one with my top ten tips as well within a few weeks.

    Thank you everyone - I'm reading every reply and I love them!
