I had actually reached my goal weight two days ago - 160 lbs., at long last -- YAY!!
But, do to ongoing computer problems (had to return my brand-new Acer Aspire V5 computer, and purchased a Lenovo Yoga 2 as a replacement), I haven't been able to log in.
I had a lovely afternoon and evening with my elder son, seeing his new college apartment for the first time. We had a nice meal (and alcoholic beverage) at a local bar and grill that had the Oregon Duck's game playing (and we were IN Eugene, with all its accompanying festive atmosphere). I ate with the perfect balance - a bit of indulgence and more than a bit of care. That fuzzy navel, though...yummy, but quite an indulgence for me.
We went to a movie afterwards, which was very enjoyable. My son can be a bit of a hermit and introvert, so it was great to have him out and about and TALKING to other people before the movie.
We skipped the snacks at the movie, but that was mainly because we passed a Portland (and now Eugene) cult classic, Voodoo Donuts, and decided to indulge AFTER the movie.
So, long story short, I'm back up to 161.
Since I was 161 lbs. before I left on my vacation September 16th and returned to that weight and maintained afterwards, I feel pretty good about my ability to maintain. I just haven't done any real experimentation in terms of gradually upping my daily caloric intake. It is a little scary to think that I am basically maintaining on only a little higher average intake than during the time when I was losing weight. Then again, I've gone through periods of not losing for 3-4 weeks in the past, so I am willing to give my body the benefit of the doubt.
I have been less active than when I was first began this journey (mostly due to ongoing back problems). This means if I was still trying to lose weight, I would need to adjust my RDI down. Probably explains why I'm maintaining.
That's alright.
Had a very productive afternoon. Left work and did the following errands: bank, mail-in ballot dropped off at City Hall, Amazon return dropped off at UPS Store, quick stop at Dutch Bros. Coffee, dropped paperwork at main office of my employer, and stopped at JoAnn Fabric. On returning home, fed my dogs, then called my mother and chatted for an hour. I just started my third load of laundry back at home (as the change from khaki to black pants in my work uniform now necessitates two separate loads every 4 days for tops and pants).
Tomorrow it's work and a dental check-up. Hope everyone else's weeks are going well.
