LOL, you caught me. Yes, I thought of you guys often yesterday and today. If not for all the encouragement (nagging? ) here, I would not be drinking so much water nor ... well, nevermind......

I quit five pounds before goal (or I prefer to think of it as just revising my goal) because I DID want to emphasize health over size. And for me that meant doing a lot of hard exercise, which I just couldn't do on less than 1,000 calories (I know some folks here DO work out hard while on program, but I don't know how they manage it).
So I may still weigh a few pounds more than my ideal, but I'm far fitter and healthier than I was when I moved to maintenance.
I do wish that I had set my goal higher a long time ago. But I do feel that my goal is a weight that I can achieve and maintain......if I would just stick to program. At this time, it has become a point of pride or just plain stubborness---I said I'd do it...and I really want to complete this journey to the point that I set.
In hindsight........I wish I had done what you did, Robin. It would have been much wiser. I would do many things different -----
Okay, today is my second day 100% on program. It hasn't been an easy day. With the babies here, I was off my timing of supplements so I've had to deal with some hunger issues. I ended up having 3.5 oz of baked chicken around lunch time then the rest of the chicken diced into a salad for my dinner. I need to have one more supplement in about 90 minutes and then I'm done for the day. So far 68 oz of water with another 33 oz sitting at my elbow. I plan to drink that before I head to bed...
Hope it was a good day for everyone.
