If you could maintain where you are and not lose another pound or gain, would you be happy?  I ask myself this question all the time.  I am so close to my goal of 145 that I never reached before that I don't think I will be happy without hitting it once but in the same instant, if I could maintain where I am and be able to continue to eat healthy items and not starve, then who knows, maybe I am letting my happy place get away from me.  Sometimes, I feel that I am pushing myself and really, is 7 lbs. going to make me that much happier?

Tess, Tess,

Always SO good at bringing it into perspective...Used to think I had to be a certain # to be "happy/satisfied" with my weight loss...For about a year now I've been saying I wanted to get back to that magic number, but not really applying myself to hard to get there, so I suspect I am really OK with the number where it is now and would continue to be OK if I maintained at right here...My biggest FEAR though is that I will not hold the line and maintain at right here but instead continue to be OK at I see the number creep up & up - ultimately sabatoging myself out of a success...I guess as long as I'm conscious of all this I'll be able to keep it all in check & meanwhile I will continue to check-in and keep trying to be BOTT...

Been pretty busy at work lately & it seems like if the day's post hasn't started yet when I pop in then I don't seem to make it back.  Going to have to put a bit more effort out on that one.

Hit the gym twice again today, once this a.m. to do yesterday's workout that I missed since they were closed for the holiday, and then at lunch for today's workout.  May do a walk at home tonight with the dogs too only because they are stuck inside all day with the heat and if I don't get some energy out of them they are going to drive me nuts.
