Walked 3.4 miles this AM; DH took doggies out earlier; UGH Index a very, very solid 10. Hopped into the pool when I got back, swam some laps and then just stayed in the water until I could handle the heat again.
I've pushed past the upper limits of my Maintenance range (no big surprise there), so it's time to re-focus and get serious! I wish there were a different way to show weight once one has reached a goal weight. I can't face seeing the graphing and wording that will make it look like I'm still working on my goal for the first time, so I'm logging it on my own and will log everything as "historical weights" once I'm back where I want to be. This probably seems silly, or stupid, to some, but having achieved that goal is really, REALLY important to me and I just don't want to give it up. I guess that should give me extra motivation to get back to it.
On the positive side, I can feel the extra weight. Yes, that's actually a good thing. If I had been more sensitive to that on my way up to 235, perhaps I wouldn't have gained as much.
Time to go to work. What I have learned over this month is that it's still difficult for me to adjust, or come back from, any off-plan foods. I had a rough time with this after what I felt were fairly few indulgences over last year's holidays, and it took me months to find that groove again. I really didn't think that it would take that much to fall back into my routine after vacation....again, not that much off-plan, at all. But, this is proving to me that it's still too easy for me to lose my path after an indulgence. And, it's not off-plan foods that are preventing me from being right back on my path....it's just too much of perfectly acceptable foods! Well, that AND a few known trigger foods - still on-plan - too. I just keep hoping they won't affect me......when I know they WILL.....and they DO!
OK....I am stronger than this and I can overcome. I know that these next several days, perhaps a week, will be brutal. No, not cravings, but just the fact that, for me....I can be absolutely on-plan, doing everything right, and the scale will NOT reward me with anything (not a thing!)....might even nudge upward. THEN, however, it will begin to drop as my metabolism begins to behave the way it should. I just have to stay focused and not get discouraged. Been here, done all this before, so I should know the drill.
