Good Morning Fat Secret,
Over the last six days, I've had success sticking to a reasonable number of calories each day. It's been my usual alternating anchor meals of chicken/rice/broccoli and low-fat ground beef/beans/Brussels sprouts.
I've consistently added a variation and extra food in a large salad (4 oz. spinach, with fatty dressing, chopped, a protein (tuna in water, chicken, or a stinky cheese) for either lunch or with dinner. It's adding at least 500 calories a day but has helped me stick with the planned meals and gotten me back in the groove.
I spent some time this morning making a recommitment to tracking, planning out meals over this upcoming weekend and then for the following two weeks past Thanksgiving.
I really appreciated a post I read earlier this week about maintenance, and how it is an ongoing process even after you reaching your goal weight. The phrasing was that it is just as much work to stay in maintenance as it is to lose weight. It reminded me of how you have to incorporate changes that are sustainable long term. Not for 2 months, not for a year, but for life.
Hope everyone has a fun and relaxing weekend, with some time for activity and recreation.
Mac
