Well.. I guess maintaining is better than gaining
 

Like I said, I seem to be maintaining.
I have been having some problems the last couple of weeks. I lost my job,
and got fairly down about that - so I ate.. I also bought peanut butter the
other day, bad move.

I'm a compulsive overeater, and trying to deal with that and adjust my life,
is tough.

But today, I am right on target! No binging, and it's already 4:48 pm. I
know I'll be fine!!!

I'm doing a combination of Weight watchers and Nutrisystem. And I have had
alot of success with the combination. Just need to keep going on both, and
not give up.

I also just tried Pilates last night for the first time. What a great little
workout. My abs are definitely feeling it today. Ah, what a feeling. I'm
also going swimming tonight, as long as I can find my nose-plug, and will do
about 45 minutes.

I can feel it.. I just know I'm going to succeed.

It's great to hear that you're OP & going strong, Mari. I know only too well,
what stress can do. It's not peanut butter with me, but cookies ;-D I agree
with you that exercise is one of the main things in helping to handle the stress
and it sounds like you're really working hard on that ;-D Hope your muscles
aren't too sore tomorrow ;-D

Hey Marijke,
certainly maintaining is better than gaining. I think that you will
notice a difference using the pilates. I have been doing it 4 days a
week for about six weeks now. I have only lost 14 pounds in that 6
weeks, but I have already dropped a clothing size. I just seems to
have tightened everything right up.

I'm sure you will hurdle this plateau, just tighten up your program a
little. Best of luck.

Trying my best.. ended up with a binge last night.. sigh, but seeing as I
hadn't eaten enough, and had the shakes, it's understandable.. must learn to
eat more often.. geesh..

And, yup, a little sore yesterday and again today. Went swimming last
night.. yeehaw.
