The duck was beautiful. The downside was that it forced me
to do two long cardio workouts, and 3 lifting workouts. Not
quite as much as I wanted but apparently enough. I also
controlled my eating very well, and when I got on the
scales today I was down 2 to 193. I'm normal at last 🙂

Next mini goal 189 or 13 1/2 stone

Gotta watch the next week or two. I usually mess up and
binge after hitting a significant target. So I've got to
stay OP for a couple of weeks now.

Thanks for all your support. I couldn't have done this
without you.

Well done with catching that duck with all that exercise.

Remember getting to a goal is not a reason to celebrate with
FOOD. Losing weight alone is not the result you are looking
for. You want behaviors that can be used forever.

Good luck getting the next minigoal

Ray, That's fabulous, congratulations!!

I do the same thing, which is probably why I haven't been
able to budge from the current weight. I see a loss, I get
excited and want to celebrate.

You can do this!

Congats Ray! Your effort proves that we can enjoy things on
occassion, and still be successful. We only have to be
accountable for those decisions we make. Looks to me like
you took complete charge of the situation. And another
congrats on reaching that *normal* stage of the game, it's a
great feeling. Although, my family tells me I will never be
normal. <g>

That really is a fantastic milestone. For me, I'm still only
just "normal". I find the effort to get much below where I
am now is just too much (both mentally and physically). Good
on you for getting where you are, and having the
determination to stick with it. I'm sure you can do it!

Next time I see a duck in the supermarket I'll leave it in
the cooler.

I've been at this for nearly two years now. You'd think in
that time I'd be weaned off snickers and other things but
no. I could regress really quick if I relaxed. One thing I
do seem to have beaten is drinking wine and beer. At one
time I couldn't keep a bottle of whicky in th ehouse for
fear of drinking it. Now I have all sorts of drink and very
rarely take it.

I celebrate with a mile or two of fabric: the ultimate
high fibre diet! I was fabric shopping yesterday - see my
other post!

In used to be able to absorb a whole bottle of wine without
too much problem. Now 3 glasses are enough to make me a
little dizzy, and I no longer like the sensation! 2 drinks
will be enough from now on! I will continue to enjoy the
wine, beer, whiskey, whatever, for the flavour: I'm old
enough not to need to drink for the sensation!

If I only had followed my own advice. Well, maybe not
exactly. Too many desserts over a 3 day period. I guess I
could say I was not celebrating weightloss with food but
I knew I was in good shape and maybe took too much
advantage of that.

Funny, I can now keep lots of chocolate around and not go
crazy, too. But I now do over indulge in some dried fruits -
better than chocolate but still I need to exercise control
because like you say - I could regress very easily and
occasionally do. Maybe I do know enough to catch myself or
at least, I hope so.

NYC is over and so are dessert-partying behaviors.
