I'm holding strong in maintenance. Been hovering between 137.6 and 140.6 -- today weighed in at 138.8. Ya, you read that right, I weighed. I have been, I only made it that ONE day without. I am disappointed in myself in some ways, but I've been dealing with quite a lot and apparently just can't handle not weighing. One thing at a time I suppose.
I did well through all 3 of Jason's birthday celebration (I'm talking 3 separate cakes, fried chicken, potato salad, steaks, burgers, hot dogs, fries, baked potatoes, doritos etc etc). I did go over calories all 3 times but not grossly; was able to do a tad of a deficit in the days following (meaning I ate 2000 on workout days instead of the allotted 2250-2300) to offset it.
I've been doing GREAT with my workouts! I'm 2 weeks in and haven't missed a workout yet. I'm feeling great, physically! I feel strong and am really enjoying lifting, and since my cardio days are just 30 minutes, those aren't too bad either.
The mental part has been more of a struggle, and it's a work in progress. The last 2 weeks have done me a lot of good. I've been able to see that eating a normal amount doesn't mean steady weight gain. I've been able to prove to myself that I can see a difference in my body through working out even with no loss on the scale.
Also, I found a new hero!!! Here is her Tumblr. WOWOWOWOWOW! That is exactly what I'd love to look like. She's such a bad ass and so strong.
