GOING MY WEIGH

After too many weeks of income incremental weight gain - I now feel that things are going my way again.

I think I am beginning to turn the corner. (again)

I am beginning to recapture the the control of my appetite. It seems so long ago that I was managing on 1000 calories per day.  I have certainly lost the desire to be anywhere near that program.  In the past eight months, I have done a good job of maintaining a vigorous workout schedule - and one does need the proper fuel keep up that intensity.  Each day is a challenge. Although I am approximately ten pounds above the low weight that I originally reached - I remain proud of myself as I have kept my weight within a ten pound 'window' since April.  The enjoyment and sense of satisfaction that I get from exercising has been consistent.  I really have changed my lifestyle.  I still have changes to make.  It is a cliche' - but there is a reason why a cliche' should exist.  They are true.  This truly is the journey that never ends.
