The more I maintain the consistency, the stronger it seems to be--because now, I don't want to 'break the momentum.' The schedule does get challenging, for sure. <br />I try to remember to watch for the pebbles, rocks, bigger rocks and boulders-- because any of them, regardless of size, could trip me up... I feel like, as long as I keep that perspective--the perspective that I'm in no way exempt from their potential harm, then I'll be okay. Always aware--that's key. <br />Nancy-- I so appreciate you!Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-88019656920547560032015-02-20T22:22:20.886-06:002015-02-20T22:22:20.886-06:00Lance, I certainly appreciate your encouragement a...Lance, I certainly appreciate your encouragement about Yoga.

THAT is the important thing - not what your body decides to do with what you are giving it. I am congratulating you not only on this last scale reading, which is just showing that you are still going in the right direction, but on your consistency. With your changing schedule, THAT is monumental! (We - the obesity prone) are thrown off by pebbles in the road - and you encounter boulders almost every day!!!

Is it possible to be proud and inspired at the same time? While I was sleep walking, you passed me. Time to step up my game (even though I know we're not racing, its a fun metaphor).<br /><br />Keep up the great work and I love that you're rockin the yoga as well.

Anyhow, YAY YOU!<br /><br />I highly recommend Dr. Barbara Berkeley's Refuse to Regain re weight maintenance. Even if you don't subscribe to all her ideas, she will offer much that will make sense and work for you, long term. :)Gwenhttp://thesunnycoconut.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-30774428172386733582015-02-19T07:34:56.967-06:002015-02-19T07:34:56.967-06:00Fantastic Sean!

My maintence carb window is narrow and I could potentially regain some days by over doing protein consistently. The food scale is a great gate. <br />Onward.

I've still no desire to weigh as I know how I feel about the numbers but I am constantly pulling out clothing that was too small and am now wearing them again. That is my reward. The big reward will be when I have no more smaller clothing and I have to go shopping. Once I'm walking again I'm hoping it will speed things along! :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002884305078321703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-52715746181508988552015-02-18T22:11:14.902-06:002015-02-18T22:11:14.902-06:00I accidentally hit 1200 yesterday!
