Hope everyone is doing well and wishing each of you a totally kick Azz, BAD Azz
100% OP day as usual!
Stay Warrior STRONG!
Weekly Maintenance Update: 3 years, 5 months and counting... Wt = 114 lbs.
Two more weeks off and then it's back to school with a week full of in-services days... Not my favorite part of teaching, but they pay me to be there, so it's all good!

Like Karen said, you're probably emotionally exhausted with everything you've had to deal with lately.
Sleep tight!
Speaking of deal with: How much damage did your DD's house suffer during that terrible flooding a couple of weeks back? Hope it's not too bad and the insurance will cover everything!

"Port-ables" are the only avenue lots of school districts have to suffer thru to house the kiddos... we have the same issue here... there's just NO MONEY in education as usual...

205.5 today. I haven't been weighing in everyday. I know if I stay 72 induction and don't over eat on OP foods then the weight will come off.

Woot! Woot!
So you're seeing the downward
↓ movement on that demonic
evil contraptions again! WTG!
Don't fear the scales! As I always say, if you're eating 100% OP every single day, the scales will eventually reflect your hard work and dedication!
Here's what Dr. A says on page 289 | A '72 about Daily Weighing:
Quote:
Q: How often should I weigh myself?
A: Every day. It never hurts to be aware. This is a good habit to begin before you get to maintenance, because if you ever notice a small weight gain you would be likely to respond by promptly getting stricter with your diet.
|
On page 262, he gives this advice for those of us in maintenance:
Quote:
You must make up your mind to get on the scale every morning, as regularly as you brush your teeth...
So you see how vital it is to get on the scale every day and to make it an absolutely inviolable rule to go back to the first or second levels when you have reached the top of your 5 lb range. This way you can keep your weight within 5 pounds of your ideal, and without deprivation-since the basic diet [Induction] takes away hunger and allows you so many goodies.

I totally understand the sadness that summer break is almost over. Imma little bummed that I have to start back too, but once I get past the sense-less in-service days and get to teach, Imma ecstatic!
