I weighed myself again this morning - I forget most mornings, but need to make it more of a bi-weekly habit to manage my weight. My target is to stay basically where I am. As an almost 5'10" woman, about the lowest weight that would be healthy for my frame (which is smaller than average) is about 128 lbs.
As of this morning, I have lost a bit of weight, but not much. I currently weigh 135.8 lbs. For a few splurges over the holidays, I have still racked up a net weight loss. The trick will be to stay steady in my weight WITHOUT holiday splurges (after all, I don't exactly party on Martin Luther King Jr. day in January - there's no excuse to eat holiday cookies now).
And, let's face it. I am cheap. I have nice clothes that fit me when I'm in the weight range of 132-138 lbs. When I get to the lower or upper echelons of that weight range, my clothes start to fit me strangely. I'm too cheap to buy new clothes; this is what has kept me from gaining weight in my adult life. (That and all that gosh darn running!)
I am concerned that this nutritional regime is going to compromise my weight - that I will lose too much. However, I am flexible - if my body is working properly at a lower weight, perhaps that's my true target weight and I've been a touch too heavy for the last few years.
We will have to see! I'm off to eat my avocado omelette and fresh blackberries for breakfast.
