Revaudrey's Journal, 20 June 2014

I feel like I've hit a stable point- both in my weight and my attitude/behavior. I'm comfortable with eating a light breakfast (fruit, mostly) and veggies for lunch with some kind of protein source ( I prefer cooked veggies, large salads with lots of ingredients and protein like egg whites, hummus, almonds, goat cheese, turkey) and then a "normal" dinner which features a protein, carb, veggie, salad and, usually, a small frozen treat for dessert. I really like the Yoplait Whips yogurts that I put in the freezer. Then... on the weekends I play. A couple of drinks, dessert on Sunday... and good clean eating.
No junk.
No drinking during the week.
Clean, unprocessed organic food ( including clean meats and eggs)Light on Light on the dairy and wheat.
To the gym 5 days a week and a hike on Sunday after church.

This is sustainable. (Except that in the winter I know that I'm going to want to start my day with oatmeal...)
137.5 lb Lost so far: 45.3 lb.    Still to go: 0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

That sounds like a nice outline. You are not completely depriving yourself of things you intend to enjoy and you will practice balance/moderation. And staying active daily is awesome. If you stick with that plan you will do great. Best wishes and congrats on meeting and surpassing your goal.

ChicaLean- this is a life long battle for me. And when I get where I want, I seem to "let go" and then re-gain the 30 or 40 lbs that I've lost. I've done that at least 5 or 6 times in my life. SOOOOO tired of that. I'm praying to find a sustainable lifestyle that allows me to live at a comfortable weight that makes me feel confident and strong and healthy... AND that allows me to cook and play in the kitchen with abandon. Cooking is my creative outlet.

I hope you find what really works for you. The minute you see 3lbs. up check yourself and get back to a more regimented program. It's hard for me to have a lot of indulgences because I tend to binge. But I also keep my goal pants near and plan to get rid of the sizes that I don't want to see again. I believe you will find your balance. The great thing is you know the pattern of gaining a significant amount and then having to lose it again. So now it's time to address it and keep it from happening. If the new plan does not work, try something else. I’m rooting for you.

Great that you've found a workable plan of eating/lifestyle that is working for you. That's the key, if we can't sustain it long term we won't stick with it and all the hard work gets undone in time.

Your plan looks GREAT to me. Seems as if you have "it" all figured out. I will be glad when I discover my own "Fat Secret." Keep the faith!

Congrats that you found a sustainable plan that works for you. That's the biggie, sustainable. If it is not the weight and decreasing fitness and health will be back.
