Feeling Good About My Weight
I wanted to give a quick update. I'm starting to settle into eating now, and lost a couple of the food introduction pounds that I had put on. I'm now 155 lbs. in the morning, which is where my MyFitnessPal ticker is stopped. I've been able to maintain this weight for the past few days so I'm hoping the this constitutes the start of a more stable time in my weight maintenance.
I'm starting to feel very happy with my body and my new emphasis on fitness. I've decided to make 155 lbs. my new goal weight and just be very darned happy to be here. Everybody says you'll know when you've reached goal. Well, today I just feel like I'm very happy where I am. I would like to practice maintaining this weight for a few months, and if I feel like I want to lose more, then I might try. If I don't, that's okay too. I want to focus on building muscle now, and sculpting my body, rather than focus too much on the scale for the time being.
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have made peace with the number on the scale. I'm happy with the way my clothes fit, and I'm looking forward to taking on new challenges in my overall fitness. This is a happy place to be, and a place that I never thought possible only a year ago!
My scream weight will remain 160 lbs, so I'll be checking daily, even during my muscle building time, but I might have to tweak the scream weight during that process too. I'm new to all of this, so I'm certainly not going to etch anything in stone!
Fitness Bliss
I'm totally loving the C25K training, and my evening walks, even on the nights that I don't train. I've been frequenting a lovely park near my son's karate studio, and when I drop him off, I go walking or jogging. It is on a hilltop and gives a beautiful sunset view over the ocean (a far-away view depending on fog conditions), though I won't be seeing that until next Spring due to the shorter days. In the evening, it looks out over neighborhood lights and darkened hills. I saw a shooting star the other night. I love exercising outside, and even though I'm literally going around in a circle at a park, just breathing the air feels so good to me. It is also populated with exercisers so I don't feel unsafe, even after dark.
Speaking of walking...I LOVED this post on Mark's Daily Apple.
Thank You
So that's today's update. I feel blessed and at peace with my decision to stop at this weight and enjoy a new focus on fitness and weight maintenance. Thank you so much for supporting me through this process. I am humbled that I have readers from all over the world, and I will continue to keep writing on this next chapter of my adventure.
