Happy New Year, my Fat Secret friends!

Well, it is time to face the music. I knew I had put a few pounds back on, but I finally got on the scale this morning. Yuck! Not that I am surprised with the amount of sweets I consumed over the last month.

I know how to do this though and I just have to get back to what makes me feel healthy and strong. I am still on track with my exercise, so I will continue with that. I have set a goal for 2016 to hike 250 miles total for the year. (This does not count walking my dog around the neighborhood, but time spent away from buildings and pavement.) To kick this off, the family is going with me for a hike this afternoon. Eating, as always, is the challenge. I have cleared the house of the cookies and chocolates that are such temptations. I have stocked up on veggies and some fruit. I have been planning meals to not only eat well, but fill the freezer with healthy leftovers for when I don't have time to cook.

None of this is new to me and I know it works for me. I just need to nip that grazing mentality in the bud when it hits me. I will record my food so as to hold myself accountable. This is not the end of the world, just a detour on the maintenance road that I am learning to navigate.

152.6 lb Lost so far: 22.4 lb.    Still to go: 2.6 lb.    Diet followed poorly.

I haven't yet reached my 'original' goal weight, though I've met several NSVs re: size/shape and would be OK if I ultimately settled where I am now. HOWEVER, if it's any consolation, I'm finding that I'm much more preoccupied with NOT re-gaining weight that's been 'released' vs. losing any more or reaching any more predetermined goals . . . I am now firmly convinced that as much hard work and focus as it takes to lose the weight, it takes TWICE the vigilance to 'maintain' -- this is the first time I've even really THOUGHT about maintenance -- in the past it was "I did it!" and then right back to bad habits. As you've stated, YOU already KNOW what to do and what YOU (personally) have to do to get back to your goal and stay there because you know what works best for you and that is half the battle . . . I know you will navigate quickly back 'on path' -- Happy New Year!!
