JUNE 1, 130.2# - Beginning my 10th month of maintenance today!

TEE. I just wrote in your journal that you are even now learning maintenance and your post now shows 'you get it!'
You have just the right attitude to continue losing weight and reaching your goal, and then maintaining it! I love it!

WhooHoo, CHINA, I always use Paul Newman's Lighten up Balsamic Vinaigrette---I keep it stocked. Great minds!
We have so many choices, even in restaurants by planning ahead and choosing wisely.
You already love healthful foods, so you should have very few problems.

ROBIN, We rarely visit a Pizza Parlor, but once in a while we buy a good pizza and enjoy it at home.
And that is when the day has been really busy with little time to prepare a regular dinner.
But I still love pizza!
I will have to say, tho', that my tastes have changed, and some things I no longer crave like I used to.
Cheese and sour dough bread, for instance.

I really meant to revisit my goal date and compare where I am now as opposed to then. Hope to do that sometime today.
I do know I've come a long way, baby!

Hey, BIKI, TEE & MARY. Thanks.
Actually I am just beginning my 10th month...
A huge milestone for me will be 12 months, one whole year of maintenance!
Seems like a long time.
You all are so sweet to encourage me with your congratulations.

JUNE 2, 2007 - 129.9# :-P

Seems quiet today.
Did an exercise tape...
DH and I bathed the girls...(takes us both!)
Reading posts...
Doing my post now!
Later today, We'll be going to a concert where my Joe-boy will be one of the featured musicians.
He'll be playing "Bumble Boogie" by Fina, "Tocata in F" by Vandail and in a piano duet ,"Theme from Exodus".
Might even have time for a cat nap before then.
That is pretty much my day!
Hope you all are rested, relaxed and enjoying yours, too!
Tomorrow. ROLL CALL! See ya! :-P

JUNE 4, 2007 - 130.3#

Yesterday was my free day, sort of, where I had my favorite treat. YUM.
Also ate out at my favorite Mexican food place and had my 2 chicken tacos with salad. Loved that!
I still was aware the rest of the day, and didn't throw caution to the wind, so looks like things are okay.
It's nice to know that on maintenance we can go back to some things that we avoid while on plan. And still maintain!
Getting ready to go to the Y for water aerobics with DH. He does other things.
It's also good to be doing healthy things together.
More later, maybe.

Hi Lizabette! That was a very insightful post about "the scale" that you left in Biki's journal today! It might be nice if Unca would make a sticky of it somewhere so others along the way can come to appreciate its wisdom <img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D4%252F4_1_6/image.gif"> ... It's really not rocket science!

Hello Lizzabette, Just wanted you to know that I also enjoyed your post in Biki's journal, very informative.

CHI-DOLL,
I'm so glad the 'scale' article was helpful to you. Thanks for letting me know.
Actually, DH goes to the Y with me, but while I am doing water aerobics, he does the walking track and weight machines.
Then he waits and we have some coffee in the lobby before we come home.
But he is real sweet and is now calling me his "16 year old bride".
If I'd a'known that I woulda done Medifast years ago!
Tomorrow is Strong Women Day with my SIL. Then, we may do a little shopping or what not.
Oh, forgot! Also I'll have a bone-density test.
We may meet ourselves coming...
Love ya, too :heart:
