Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Thursday 4/25

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Thank you SO much! I needed that.

Ditto for me!  I wonder if the full moon has anything to do with the increased hunger/wanting to eat?  I know that the full moon influences other things.  Maybe it just throws us off enough that we feel a little funky and look to food to help us equalize.  We should do our own unscientific research and check in next month to see if this theory has any validity. 

Maybe it's springtime!

Looks like you guys got my hunger. I haven't eaten yet today (yeah, I know, bad... been on the road until just now and just feel like I'm totally going to barf if I eat anything right now). Yesterday was the same. I kind of want to go to sleep instead.

174.2 today.

Last workout before I ride the big one on Sunday.  I leave for the airport in 26 hours (can you tell I'm counting the minutes?)  and then 24 hours of travel and I'm home. Easy.

Can't wait.

180.4 - Continuing my trip back down!

107.8 lbs.

my closet organizer is being installed today. I am so excited!

181.8 this morning - down almost a pound.  The constipation issue is much better.  An extra dose of fiber gummies and a cup of Smooth Move tea seems to have done the trick.  Also, not to give TMI, but most of this resolution was after I weighed this morning, so my weight may actually be a little lower.  Who knows - it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.  I just know that I don't feel so bloated, which is a great feeling!

Decided last night to go to Yosemite this weekend so I'm panic-packing today.  No climbing just hiking as I seem to have injured my arm this past week. We leave tomorrow after work.  I'm excited but I really could have planned things a little better :-)

99.4 lbs today.  Not tracking my food is really a very bad idea.  I either start craving sweets (due to over consumption of sweets) or I undereat (how else to explain the downward trend in my weight?).  Still my commitment to tracking is really wavering these days!  There's a part of me that feels tracking on MFP is sort of the equivalent of training wheels, and I've been at this long enough to lose the training wheels!  But obviously that's not true.  Arghhhhhh.  Why can't I just be reasonable?

Tracking is not training wheels. It helps with mindfulness and keeps you very aware. Not being mindful or aware is what led us to be morbidly obese. I don't mind doing it, if it helps me to maintain, which it does. It works for me and all the research shows it to be effective for weight loss and maintenance .
