Hello All! Checking in to let you know I've pretty much have been maintaining in the 170's. My weight this morning was 177.8. I've struggled to get to the point of losing again. I won't lie, I really need to cut my carbs back. So this week I've been working on keeping them under 30 grams a day and that has helped and definately helping with those carb cravings.

I let myself have all the carbs I wanted during the holidays, as an experiment, and I think it's coming back to haunt me. Good news is I am at least able to stay in the 170's. Bad news is I can't seem to get out of the 170's into the 160's. I keep craving those darn carbs! I'm not being excessive but I'm eating enough that it is making it tough to lose beyond my lowest weight. But, on a positive note, I have continued to maintain my weight since June. That is still a super big win for me!

Lesson learned for the holidays, keep track of those carbs and don't go over 150 per day!! Now, I just need to try to keep focused and work on getting the carbs "out of my system". This week I will stay under 30 but next week I hope to stay under 20 per day. I know I can do it. I just need to get in the right mind set and stay focused. But we all know, that can be hard sometime.

If you don't learn anything else from my blog, I hope you do learn that everyone struggles and we all have good and bad days. The important thing is you don't give up. Because the minute you do, it's all over. That weight you lost doesn't take long to pack back on and it usually comes with a few extra pounds the next time around. That's the last thing any of us want to do!

The journey never ends, but I know one thing, I've got this and so do you!!
