I have reset my goal weight to 140, down 5 pounds. I think that maintenance will not feel so much like a tight wire act if I don't feel concerned about every variance.
A wise buddy told me to write out a plan for how to make this a life change forever, and I think that would really help going forward. Here goes...
EAT VEGETABLES: I still need to make a conscious effort to include multiple servings of veggies each day.
DRINK WATER
PLAN MEALS EACH WEEK: Planning every meal has never really worked for me, but I need to plan for dinners each week so that I know I have a good option to prepare. I can also do things such as making double batches so I have dinner handy in the freezer for those nights when I don't have time to cook.
CONTROL PORTIONS: I love to eat all sorts of food and I have learned that is possible as long as I don't overindulge.
NO LATE EVENING SNACKS: Have some water or tea, brush my teeth, take a walk, go to bed... I need to avoid those evening munchies.
TRY NEW HEALTHY RECIPES: I have learned a lot of new ways to prepare vegetables, especially. I want to continue to expand my options by keeping my eye out for tasty and healthy dishes as well as healthy snacks.
EXERCISE: Continue to go to the gym, take a lot of hikes, try new and challenging things to maintain this wonderful energy I have created.
STAY MINDFUL OF THE CHOICES I MAKE: There will be times when I will find myself eating out, at parties, traveling, in all sorts of life's interesting situations. I need to be aware of what I need and make the best choices I can. This includes those glasses of wine or pints of beer as well.
There may be more, but I think that is a solid start. I am going to keep tracking my food on FS for the foreseeable future. I have benefited so much from doing that and it will help me stay on track.
