You have been doing real well and a week of Maintenance seems
reasonable. But do not deceive yourself about what you want your
ultimate goal to be. Figure it out with certainty and then make the
decisions that accompany that goal.

Sorry about the bike delay. Sometimes parts are a problem with
backorder. But suggest appropriately you expected the bike and the
transit strike makes it even more important that they move on it,
including contacting another shop who may provide them the parts
(fenders, was it?). Shops usually know one another.

But also CONGRATULATIONS on all of those clothing victories. That is
phenomenal.

Today I'm grateful to see no change in my weight from last week. I've
been on a mental plateau this week. Hitting the 70+ total loss and
getting below 160 is doing a job on my motivation to keep going. This
is further than I expected to go; some part of me I haven't heard from
before is wondering why I think I should even further.

It probably didn't help that, on a whim, I tried on a jacket formerly
worn by one of my skinny daughters and discovered that it fit. I also
went shopping for some new jeans and got into a classic fit size 10
petite withOUT stretch. When I also discovered that the medium tops
fit nicely, I realized I should head over to the foundations
department for new undergarments and give my girls a new lift. Since
starting WW, I've gone down from 44DD to 38D.

My food was off this week. More importantly, I didn't exercise even
once. I'm on a rollercoaster ride with the impending construction work
on my kitchen and bathroom. My current dilemma is deciding what kind
of kitchen sink I want and how much of my construction budget I want
to spend on it. I still haven't gotten my bike. Later today I'll have
to call and find out if I need to get cranky. The bus strike started
and I'm carpooling, leaving earlier than usual and getting home later.
I'm starting with a new hospice patient whose health issues. A major
project I've been involved with at work is nearing completion and
morphing into an even bigger project.

All of this is to say that I took a bit of a breather from WW this
week to marvel at my overall progress and to focus on a few other
pressing issues. That I ended up maintaining is a wonder.

It's the best day of my life!
