Woo-hoo! (non weight related NSV) +WI
Posted by zazu on December 12th, 2007
I found out I got an A in one of my classes this semester (still waiting on grades for the other course.) 
:) This was one of the last two classes I needed for my M.ED. Now I just have to finish my creative project (in lieu of a thesis) to graduate in the Spring. This class was challenging because it was all about creating websites - something I had never done. My website turned out alright if I do say so myself - it’s not fancy, but all my links work and I even embedded a YouTube video of myself. That is my NSV for the week - totally unrelated to health and weight loss!
On the weight loss front.. I am up 1.6 today. I’m not too worried about it since I’m still in my temporary “maintenance phase.” I have been fluctuating within about 3 lbs for the past 2-3 months. At first I was discouraged that I was having a hard time focusing on losing, but given the stress of finishing my Master’s program and my crazy work schedule this semester, I am glad to have maintained and not gained! Now that school’s out I am going to get back to counting points more seriously and eating out less and exercising more!

I remember Roni saying that when she is in maintenance mode, she only tracks during the week and just tries to stay at 30 points or under (as opposed to the 20 or so that she normally gets). I would think that might work well for you…keep track on the days that aren’t so hectic (or do you have any of those during the semester?). And on the crazy days, just do the best you can. As you’ve said, you’ve basically been maintaining during the past 3 months anyhow. I think that is pretty amazing. With your schedule, I think my weight would’ve crept on UP!
