Healthy You Challenge Week 28

If I could remember what I weighed last week, it might be easier to report how much I lost this week. I do know that the loss was just an itty-bit, mere fractions of a pound, but I'll take it. I'm at -92 overall, which is satisfying enough.

In flipping back through my calendar, I see that I netted no loss for the past 4 weeks, and I'm a little surprised that I'm not freaked out about that. In fact, I'm thinking this might be a good thing, this "pre-maintenance" phase. After all the months of practicing for it, I'm learning that I can live like this. Eat healthy foods I like (with enough splurgettes to keep me happy) and continue to challenge myself with exercise (to balance those splurgettes.) I'd still like to lose a few more pounds, but if I don't, I like where I am okay.

And that's it for me, this week. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to another great one ahead!

Cammy, I love your attitude. I feel like you, that if this is where I need to maintain, that's great. Feeling well, being healthy and not deprived is very important.

You rock! Sometimes I feel that holding steady is an even better achievement than anything. It means that what you are doing is sustainable. :)

Awwwww!! What a wonderful attitude. I'm so happy that you're in a great place and that you've done so much for your body. Hugs to you!

Sometimes your body just needs a chance to balance everything out for awhile and then lets you continue with the weight loss a little later. You are rockin' it and have no need for worry! What an inspiration you are.

Kudos to you! Keep up that positive outlook & thanks for the one you left for me!

It must be a relief to not be so focused on that aspect of getting healthy, I think.
Splurgettes...I like that :)
You are an inspiration to me to move forward with my own goals, Cammie. Thank You!

I really admire and appreciate your stay-positive attitude. It's inspiring. Also inspiring: -92 pounds. That is just phenomenal. You're doing beautifully.

I'm glad you're feeling at peace with where you're at (which is AWESOME, btw!) When I look back to my previous weight-loss, I never felt that way. I always felt, "just five more pounds," which - in hindsight - was ridiculous.

So cheers to you, Cammy. You're doing everything right - including inspiring me! :-)

Cammy, you are such a good example! Your attitude is inspiring and reading your blog entries every day (yes, I visit every day even when you haven't written anything fresh -- reading your older entries is chicken soup for the soul, as well) really helps me keep my head above water, so to speak, when I'm having my "down" days.

I'm so glad I found you!

I like the pre-maintenance idea. You have done such a great job.

Thanks for helping keep me inspired!

FANTASTIC!

No need to say anything else but to keep on doing what you're doing 'cause it works!

I think I need to devise and patent a contraption that is attached to the scale where you can write it down right then. I tend to forget by the time I walk from my scales to the computer. Hey, I have an excuse, I'm OLDer than dirt and you're still a spring chicken.

Glad your are happy with YOU.

Great positive attitude. And remember even when the scale is not down, there are other benefits in a healthy lifestyle (clothes fit differently, you feel healthy and energized, etc.)

92 pounds..that is such a huge accomplishment. It takes major life changes and willpower to achieve those results. You rock!

good! im glad you are not freakin out over it- thats hard to do. maintaining is a victory in and of itself, so you are good to go.

oh I hear you! I thought I would be dying to get into maintenance, but once I reached goal, realized that weight loss mode isnt so bad sometimes! great job with all you have accomplished in the past week.

Cammy you are such an inspiration. I have just started my journey and I am so glad (and lucky!) that I have such successful people leading a path.

Very nice attitude. You are doing great! I hit a plateau for the past few months and was getting frustrated but FINALLY got some downward movement. Take the fractions and rejoice! ;-)

Congrats. Great job! You definitely should be proud of yourself. Especially if you feel better all around.
