I hit my goal on Dec 23.
I gained some over the holidays.
I was back to goal on Feb 1.
I was tired of the diet mindset, of tracking and thinking non stop about my next meal and exercising and.... it's just too much sometimes. And so I thought that I would aim for "maintenance calories" (about 300-500 more per day than I was used to when eating in a deficit) and take a break from tracking and also weigh myself on the 15th and 1st of each month. I used to be a daily weigher and would get so bummed out when the scale was up. I also know that my weight can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds in a day depending on fluid intake, bathroom trips, etc.
So I've taken it easy for the past 2 weeks. And I've gone up 1.4 pounds (at least according to this morning's weigh in.)
I've noticed that when I am not tracking I don't come here for support, and I've been putting more breads-carbs back into my diet which weren't there at ALL when I was losing... and I'm not as diligent.
I'm trying to keep in a maintenance RANGE of 140-145, so 1.4 pounds isn't freaking me out, but I think I'm coming back to daily tracking and a weekly weigh in.
I DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT I'VE ALWAYS DONE WHICH IS TO GAIN IT ALL BACK!!!
