Happy to say I still maintained pounds lost. Time to start again with the weather improving to walk daily. Stats will follow check back.

Made use of good weather yesterday and gone out twice for a long walk

Lost 2 more pounds in the past 2 weeks. Going very slowly since I stopped exercising. Will try to start again but generally not bad, total lost 13 pounds so far. 

Still applying all techniques I have listed in my earlier posts. Do not forget to check them out. Weight updates coming soon :)

Fluctuations in weight are going to happen from day to day and from day time to night time. Do not let it upset you. It is the reason some say you should only check you weight once a week in the morning. I find it better to accept those fluctuation and check it every day as long was the weekly trend is down.

Small frequent meals. More vegetables. Less carbohydrates (bread, pasta, sugar)

At the Mediterranean

8 pounds total lost

Lesson learned be careful on  vacation. Have to work on a new plan.

A trigger can be setting an hour aside every morning. A reward can be identifying the good feeling that follows or could be a small treat like a small piece of chocolate that is up to 50 calories or preferably less

Unless the cycle is broken the habit persists.
