Well today I hit my goal! I'm happy, but I'm sure the scale will go up and down the next week. I worked very hard in the garden all day yesterday and also took a walk with a little running added in, but we went out for ice cream last night which wouldn't be so bad, but the baby cone I ordered ended up being a small - and believe me that small was huge! I didn't have to eat the whole thing, but I devoured it. I won't call it a 'cheat day' just a reward for a hard day's work, but I can't get in the old habit of eating ice cream every single day. I will try to get a few pounds under my goal weight for wiggle room before I try to maintain my weight. I've been here before and maintenance is always the hardest part. I just seem to gradually drift back to my old ways of eating until I wake up one day and I'm fat again. I love FS and I think by continuing to journal my food intake and my exercise I'll be able to keep things under control -- at least that's what I'm counting on; plus all the support from everyone else in the same situation. Thanks to all who have provided support. Special thanks to Molinator, she's provided wonderful exercises in her challenges and I just saw that she posted a great stretching routine. I plan to do it today to stretch out my sore muscles!
