July 14th, 2016 I Don't Look For It
I'm fully aware of how the body naturally fluctuates a few or sometimes several pounds in either direction and keeping that in mind--I was ready for anything today. After all the exercise in New York, I wouldn't have been surprised to find the scale below 200. Or, on the other side--up a few pounds. Instead, I somehow caught it within less than a half pound from my last weigh-in on June 8th.

This represents a .4 pound loss since the last weigh-in on June 8th. I'm grateful for the stability I've found. It feels absolutely incredible to be where I am--and I don't mean physically, although that feels great too, I mean, where I am mentally, within my maintenance plan. Does that make sense? In other words...
As long as I'm maintaining the integrity of my plan, staying active in support and remaining abstinent from refined sugar, It really doesn't matter to me what the scale shows once a month. The scale doesn't follow my Twitter or read this blog. The scale doesn't understand the effort I extend each day and the importance level I apply to what I do. The scale simply provides information based on many different factors each day. I find peace and calm when I maintain my plan each day. I don't look for it or find it in a good weigh-in.
Can I tell you something? Honestly--and I don't mean this to seem ungrateful, but I kind of wanted to see 199 just for the heck of it. Hey- I'm human. And I'm absolutely thrilled about how well maintenance mode is proceeding. I certainly don't need to hit 199--and I don't need it to give me anything other than a novelty type experience. Maybe I'll catch the next one on a bigger down-swing.
Today: I maintained the integrity of my maintenance calorie budget. I remained abstinent from refined sugar, I exceeded my daily water goal by more than 24oz and I participated in direct one on one support exchanges. It was a very good day!
