    I found myself down another pound this morning, not something I expected. I am trying for maintenance so it is mixed news. I just upped my calories to a 1600 a day target a couple of days ago, and am hoping for no gain no loss. Another pound won't hurt me.

    My goal to day is to get to the gym, exercise, and more importantly to stay on my maintenance track!

    You have done an amazing job...thanks for sharing your journey with us!

    Hey folks not been in for a couple of weeks, work was unusually busy whilst I was covering my colleagues leave.

    Anyway she is back to work now and I have a more normal workload, so I can focus a little more on myself again.

    Today's goals
    • Cycle to/from work
    • Aim for 5000 steps
    • Do some laundry
    • Pick up parcel from garage (new body pillow :) )

    9/2
    • Hit calorie goal again
    • More anxiety prevention
    • Drink enough water
    • Do something fun for myself (start a new embroidery project, read, find recipes for this weekend, etc...)
    • Yoga?

    Not a bad day all in all.

    9/3
    • Eat at or below maintenance today. It is shaping up to be a stressful day (woke up to an email that my boss is being laid off due to restructuring). While I would love stress-eat the day away, I'm going to try to hit my deficit goal, but allow myself up to maintenance calories if I want them.
    • Drink water
    • Hard boil some eggs for snacks
    • Go to bed early

      Weekend goals are minimal. Between work announcing a massive reorg, and family stress (my grandma is quickly detioriating), my goal is just to get through the weekend with as little additional stress as possible.
      • Eat around or below maintenance
      • Hit up the grocery store
      • Drink water
      • Do something for fun
      • Take a walk or bike ride for mental health

      Today I want to eat right, and get some work done in the yard. I am building a canoe/kayak rack, hope to get it done today. In the end if I eat right the canoe rack doesn't matter so much.
    • We're going to take food to Boyfriend's parents and then go up to a shoe store, get him properly fitted, and get some new shoes for him. He got a lift and started wearing it in his shoe and it has readjusted his entire back for the better. But, as he said, no one ever looked at his back since he was 17 and they said, "Well, it's not quite serious enough for back surgery now, but you'll get there eventually." He had a brace for scoliosis, and still has a noticable kyphosis, and when I look at him he definitely has a high shoulder and a high hip. The lift in his shoe levels out his hips and helps a lot with the back pain.

      My daily goals, to eat right and get some work done around the house. Sounds modest, but if I can do that I'll be happy.

      Spend 15 minutes cleaning the dining room table. (The catch-all spot for stuff that comes into the house.)

      Eating was pretty good - ordered from our favorite szechuan place on Friday, did ribs in the smoker yesterday, and did tostadas tonight. I've been good about staying hydrated. Husband and I did a 24 mile bike ride this morning, and I spent the evening embroidering. Keeping busy and relaxing!
