S0 Happy!!

I weighed myself today and was stunned to see that I weigh 225 LOL !! What a great surprise!!!  I was assuming that since I have not been counting calories for a month now that I would have gained.  I had also cut down on my gym visits but not by choice.  Does this mean that I am learning what it means to at least maintain?  I sure hope so!!!  That part of the equation is sooo critical.  I am glad I can maintain because that will be the last and most enduring part of my life long weight loss.  I refuse to let the weight go back on.  This week I resolve to go back to the gym and stop letting life get in the way. I also resolve to eat well and stay full and to write down my food intake again.  I know that helps a lot and is the key to the success I have had.  Next Monday, I am going to find out what my BMR is again so I can be eating at or around that amount in order to lose weight.  I also resolve to drink a lot more water and to taper down my diet drink intake.  I love being healthy and I love how my pants and clothes feel, it is so marvelous!!!  I love that people are noticing my weight loss.  I love the dividends all around.  I am going to keep my goals this week and I will let you know how I do!!!  Time to get back in the saddle for reals this time!!!  Wish me luck! xox thanks for reading - over and out!
