Maintaining

For the past few weeks I have been trying to maintain the new weight that I am at. I could be happy at this weight so I wanted to see how my body liked it. I feel that sometimes you work super hard to lose weight and get to a number on the scale that sounds good in your head but may not be so good for your body or the lifestyle that you want to lead. Then once you get there you find out that no matter how hard you try to maintain the new weight your body wants to weigh a little more so it is torture. For example, you have to work out way more then you have time for and keep your daily calorie count at a number that is just to much of a struggle. At this new weight I have been able to eat an amount that I feel happy about, I eat reasonably sized portions but don't ever feel hungry, I also don't ever try to feel full, just satisfied. I feel at this weight if I miss a work out or two that my weight won't go up as long as I just get back on the treadmill as soon as I can. For example, last week I was sick and didn't work out a single time. When weighing myself this morning I was happy to see that I was at the same weight as last week and the week before. I think my body could be happy with this weight and I can too. Of course I would like tighter abs and a little more off of my gut and a more shapely back end but I think that will come in time as I continue to work out and add more strength exercises to my routine.
