Overall, I'm really happy with how I'm clocking along, despite no weight lost this week. I'm a month into my efforts, just added weight lifting, and feel stronger and thinner, if not necessarily lighter. I'm ahead of schedule, with 12 pounds lost in total, and my mind has made a shift from diet mode to genuine lifestyle change mode. I haven't had an alcoholic drink in a month -- a real triumph for me -- and my exercise is improving every week. So in light of all this, yeah, I'm fine with a week where I just maintained. So much nicer than my normal yo-yoing.
Growing up, I was a competitive boxer, and like wrestlers, we were always battling the scale. Cut tons of weight for the fight, then blow up again. It was actually humorous at the time. We'd laugh at each other during the between-fight blow-ups, then drag back into the gym and get to cutting. But it definitely set me up for a life of make-the-weight mentality and the yo-yo mindset. That's my big challenge now. Not so much the food, but the brain.
