163 Holding steady

Still holding steady weight-wise. Not surprising. One really good day (yesterday) isn't going to undo days and days of damage. One thing I love is that the road is always always always right before me. I've planned a very good day today--walked to work and will do strength training after work too. It's tempting to be frustrated and think, "UGH! If I'd only held on and not fallen to all those temptations, I'd be so much farther on!!!" But you know---maybe I wouldn't be. I'd weigh less for sure, but would I be able to maintain a weight loss that was based on nail-biting will power alone?

One thing I know about myself is that my interest in anything ebbs and flows. I went through about a six month blah period with the harp where I did no more than go through the motions. My progress in that time was minimal--but it WAS progress. I didn't quit and I didn't go backward. Now I'm a little more excited again. Controlling food is different--it's blah almost all the time even on a good day! I don't like to control what I eat!  Although, even as I type that I realize that it isn't quite true anymore. Sure, I enjoy eating whatever and whenever I want, but I really like knowing that what I'm eating is good for my body! I like knowing that I'm not overburdening my systems with garbage. And I take pleasure in the good food I get to eat while I'm doing it. Today for example:
Breakfast:
1/2 cup cottage cheese
a chocolate chip pumpkin muffin.
milk
diet juice

Lunch:
Lipton cup o soup
four wasa crisp crakers
2 laughing cow cheeses
tomato salad
banana
pumpkin chocolate chip muffin

Dinner
1/3 pan of gyro meat
tziki sauce with 1/4 cup of feta
tomatoes
2 slices hommade french bread
veggies.

Not a bad menu if I do say so myself. As always, I wish it could be more, but it's enough.  I know it's enough because my body feels healthy and strong. It's only my mind and addictive habits that want more feta cheese and to nibble all day long. Maybe someday soon I'll plan a nibble day. No meals, just all day grazing.
Anyway--I'v been treading weight-loss water, I don't know if I'll hit the target by the end of the month. I hope so, but if I don't I'll simply set a new target and keep on going.
