I am up a couple pounds as I am still working out this maintenance plan. I had a stretch when the only things that sounded good to me to eat were some variation of bread and cheese--pizza, cheese burritos, cheesy garlic bread, etc., etc. Not quite the diet I have become accustomed to and it shows on the scale, especially in combination with the reduction in exercise when my back went wonky.

I have been making a much better effort to eat well and get more exercise for the past week. My mom arrives for her visit today and so I am going to have to be dedicated to keep this going. I did go on a five mile hike up and down a mountain this morning with a friend--Mom's not a hiker so I don't know when I'll next be able to hit the trails. I got to the gym yesterday, getting in some cardio and some lifting.

I know it is only a few pounds, but I want to stay mindful so I don't veer off in the wrong direction. I am so proud of the way I handled Halloween--a bit of candy that evening, then none since. I have not even felt tempted by my kids' candy bags, which is a nice surprise. With all of the other holidays that lie ahead, I need to keep my head in the game and stay with the way of eating that has gotten me here. I think I am finally getting over the psychological jolt that hitting my goal weight gave me and I am getting back on course to stay healthy and strong.

It is SO hard for me if I re-introduce the starchy carbs even for a special event - the cravings come back and I have to work really hard to get off them and get back to basics.

Glad to hear you're settling back into a comfortable, familiar routine for 'maintenance.' And it must be satisfying to know that you can get back on track after just a minor uptick, instead of completely going off the rails and having to start again 'from the top'.
