I'm waiting for...Love Kate's response. :)<br /><br />I'm waiting for the upswing here. I've been eating lots of junk lately. It's cold and snowy so I can't get out on the road to walk with my sister. I can still snowshoe with the dogs so that's what I need to be doing. I'm kind of laying low because I injured my foot on a long walk with my sister on our Florida trip (check out my blog if you have a minute).<br /><br />You are looking great and I'm proud of you. Your journey is an inspiration to many. God is using you my friend! :)Can do momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611213405581703181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-16322669019838760292011-03-10T02:02:34.272-06:002011-03-10T02:02:34.272-06:00Thanks for the encouragement!

I just realized that the other day. How depressing.<br /><br />Way better than how much I could have gained had I been doing nothing, though.Sierrahttp://cmonfatso.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-13098140418108126262011-03-07T19:19:21.312-06:002011-03-07T19:19:21.312-06:00This is prolly one of my fav posts ever!

I think the awakening of all things spring, plus the looming first summer vacation in years ahead of me is causing me to get back into "fighting mode" with my working out/weight loss/life changes. This post was the push I needed in the right direction.

I have definitely had my share of up's and down's and I can totally relate to what you just said.<br /><br />Now that I am entering my maintenance phase, I am needing to learn to listen to and trust in my body 100% to give me the cues about what it wants and needs to sustain my current weight and I think my plateaus and weeks/months where I didn't change will be the foundation for how I continue with my journey.Amie@RunningOnHealthy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802081114235533094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-42640456280357227892011-03-06T23:05:16.597-06:002011-03-06T23:05:16.597-06:00this post couldn't have come at a better time ...this post couldn't have come at a better time for me, Keelie. i've been thinking lately about how i've yo-yoed for years, but i've never given up on losing. even when i've done more harm than good by gaining or downswinging longer than upswinging (and neglecting to practice maintenance), i find that the upswing always comes back, even if it lasts for an hour. i need to work on waiting out the downswing. like you said, it's inevitable, too.<br /><br />thank God, and thank you!Absolutely, Positively Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390174411255786861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-91947554591768265432011-03-06T22:10:04.907-06:002011-03-06T22:10:04.907-06:00Thank you!

I call them living life on life's terms. I don't know if it makes a difference, but it's kept me sober for four years. To me, maintenance is keeping it where it's at. Recovery is striving for more, even when I don't see results.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542230897888388433noreply@blogger.com
