144lb

A loss of 1.2 pounds thankfully. So that's last week's gain gone and a wee bit besides. I can live with that. And now I'm eight pounds away from goal. Phew for hitting a new low!

I have definitely eaten more this week. I went through nearly all of my exercise calories, even yesterday, when I earned 1600! I'm okay with that for the most part though. The only thing I'm not really happy with myself about is that I ate chocolate on about three days. I don't mind a couple of squares of dark choc, even every day. But I used precious calories for stupid chocolate like Mars bars or Snickers. Again, even they are allowed in moderation, just not the way I ate them this week. So, I'm going to try to go back to my first month on mfp. I will allow myself chocolate, but only the really dark stuff, and not at work. It's to be a special evening treat.

I'm looking forward to the week ahead, both food and exercise wise. I'm feeling positive about getting a good result this week. I'm trying to prepare my head for the new mindset I'll hopefully be needing soon. The maintenance, rather than losing, mindset. I can imagine me panicking a bit as I have to slowly increase my calories. I will probably be terrified of losing control. But there's no point borrowing trouble.  I am looking forward to being in that position.
