Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Monday 7/23
Good morning. Happy Monday!
I had a great weekend, lots of activity after a week tied to my desk and not feeling my best last week. I'm finally, finally starting to feel like I'm in maintenance rather than struggling to get into maintenance. I'm a slow learner, but I get there eventually!
Today's weight 144.6
How about you?

Up 2.4 lbs from yesterday. Almost exactly the weight of the 32 ounces of water I drank at 10pm last night before going to sleep. Not freaking out, I drank 176 ounces of water yesterday - I am FULLY hydrated for my flight today.
I got in two long walks yesterday - 8 miles. I really miss running - cant wait till my eyes are fully healed and I can again. Every time a fast song comes on I have to resist the temptation to start running in time with the music.

Wow. At 176 oz I'd think you should reserve your seat in the lavatory. I drink about 104-120 oz a day and spend more time in the rest room than I'd like.
Have a great flight.
Have a great flight.

I looked at my calendar and for the first time in my 18 month journey I weigh the same at the start of the month as I do at the end of the month. I guess stabilization is good, although I want another 4 pounds off. My abdominal apron is still retracting, although slowly, but even with no new pounds off, I can see a change in it. So glad about that. Had consult last week to get my huge varicose veins fixed. Have to get compression hose and had a venous ultrasound--all steps to have the insurance pay for it. Then have to wait 3 months. Getting my veins fixed was one of the things on my "to do" list to fix myself up, so I am glad I am doing that now. The face lift and belly lift will have to wait. So, in the meantime, will continue with my face yoga and belly exercises. All in good time, all in good time.......and happy week to everyone!!

Speak to me of this face yoga. My face could use some help.
I don't have an apron at all (I do have the weird wrinkles on my belly) but the loose skin on my arms and legs (even some on my lower arms and calves) is amazing. I'll never afford plastics and if I could I might be too chicken, so I cover those and move on.

132, which is my own fault and rather deserved for my bad behavior yesterday.
Started off the day well, went to church with the family. Decided to go to lunch and a movie. On our way to lunch I got a text message from a friend saying a mutual friend of ours had passed away the night before and was found that morning. Devastation doesn't even cover it. He was an incredible guy and my heart literally aches.
So I ate some eggs and cheese at lunch, and a few bites of biscuit. Then when I got home from the movie I ate some cheese, went on a run, came back and ate some popcorn. Then a few hours later I ate some peanut butter and crackers. I'm honestly disgusted at the amount of carbs I ate yesterday. I know why I did it, trying to make it stop hurting. It didn't stop hurting...
So today is clean eating and trying to make it through my shift at work without breaking down. I need to be ok with the pain and know its ok that it hurts.
