Week 39....ReFocusing after Goal
(Feb 10, 2010) When you are in the middle of your journey and trying to hit your weight loss goal, it is on your mind all the time. That's what you focus on.
Once you hit that goal you have to readjust and refocus on just maintaining. There is where I am.
There are spots I need to work on to tone a bit more and now how so I eat to maintain? Do I exercise a little less each week?
These are the things I have been trying to wrap my little brain around.
I just came from the doctor's office to have a teeny little bit of fluid removed. I have not been very comfortable the last week. I fell back on just eating soup because I threw up a couple times since last week's unfill. This now puts me at 5.0cc's in my band.
What I was finding was this....I'd go to bed and have acid reflux a lot. I'd eat solids and then the next day my tummy would hurt. So I just did not feel comfy.
I was so scared to go in for this unfill today. What if they take too much and I get hungry again? What if I eat more than a cup of food? Will my cravings return?
Lord....what a journey!
Since I have not been able to eat much in the last few weeks I was too exhausted to exercise daily so I did what I could, but now I am feeling better and have started back on the treadmill 60 minutes each day. I want to return back to my Tony Horton 10 Minute Trainer next week.
I do not want the rest of my life to be focus on food and the scale! Anybody else scared of this?
OK...I am freaking out a bit but it's only because I am so happy with where I am and I'd like to stay here!
On a good note, I have a photo shoot scheduled for late next week and I am super stoked about how these photos will turn out. Keep your eye out for the new me!
Also....does anyone eat the frozen meals. SmartOnes, Healthy Choice, etc. If so can you get a full one down? I had one for dinner and I could not even eat half of it! I have not had one in about a year now, to be honest it was not that good.

Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?:tongue_smilie:
