The scoop

Okay maybe I'm whining. Tonight I went off my diet a bit. I shouldn't whine about going off my diet when I have been sticking with the plan real good for the most part. Overall I am doing pretty well. Overall I am pleased with my progress, but cautious.

My goal is to get as low as I can within the next week, while staying on the "gold plan" at LA Weightloss. Next week I am scheduled to go to "stabilization," unless I pay more money, so if I can be about 148 or less, like 147.5 would be good, then I will go with that and "abandon" my goal weight of 145, in a way.

That is to say, since I have been through LA Weightloss before, I recall that during stabilization I actually continued to lose a few more pounds, because their re-entry of non-diet food is slow and cautious. Therefore, in my mind, I will still look to see if I can get to the 145.0.

After stabilization for six weeks comes maintenance. As long as you don't go over five pounds from your weight when you went on stabilization, you stay in maintenence.

I may choose to pay for more weeks and not go into stabilization, depending where I am at when I check-in next with LA Weightloss, which is next Thursday. I decided to go on Thursday, because it is right before my trip to Alaska. While there I will take a "vacation" from LA weightloss and do not have to pay for those weeks, and am not expected to lose any weight. I hope that I don't gain any either, but if I gain a couple, I'm not going to freak. I wonder where my measurements are at, because I haven't exercised much at all this past month, especially when compared to the month before. This is another reason why I am glad that I am in LA Weightloss: I want to learn, like a science, about these things, such as my measurements and how they will change this month compared to last. I have a whole year of "maintenence" with them and I am planning to "be good" and go in every two weeks like I should.

As far as exercise, this week has not been too good to me. It has been a stressful week actually, and busy at work. Since I am only home a short bit before leaving to go on another trip, I've had to be pretty focused on getting things done. However, yesterday I did get a chance to walk about three hours passing out about 200 invitations (see my other blog).

Sorry this read is so dry...........I'm tired and I gotta go to bed! Till next time!
