Reading about people who have successfully maintained their weight loss is becoming a regular habit. I'm noticing several things I have in common with them and the most common thread seems to be abstinence from sugar.
Karen from California just celebrated her three year weight maintenance anniversary. I'm overjoyed for her! She also maintains a wonderful blog. Here's the link to her anniversary post:
http://gardengirlkp.blogspot.com/2015/02/3-year-weight-maintenance-anniversary.html
When I asked for her permission to share her blog here, she said yes--and added: "...I read your blog every day and don't always comment. I'll be adding you to my blog role too. There is a fourth dimension to long term weight maintenance and you capture it well."
When a successful maintainer writes something like this to me--I can't properly express how much it means. Thank you very much Karen! Great blog, my friend. Congratulations on your phenomenal success! Your attitude is fantastic. It's very clear, you hold the elements of your recovery, sacred. It's very inspiring to me!
Today was a long day. I slept in fairly well, cooked a brunch that didn't turn out like I expected (see Tweet below) and made it to the studio to do some after hours catch up work. I also made it to the YMCA for the elliptical and weights.
I was the special guest DJ for a big casino tonight. I was excited to see a giant refrigerated cooler full of free water! Hyping a crowd can wreck a voice. I kept drinking out of necessity. I ended up with 14 cups for the day, not 16 as previously tweeted. Still, 14!!! That's 6 cups beyond my daily 8 cup goal.
It's super late and I'm exhausted. I'll let the Tweets handle the rest of tonight's blog.
