23 July 2019 - Diet Diary - Alright! Back on track here. Weight today was 139.4, almost back to my lowest point. I have decided on a new goal, which is to lose down to 135, which may take a long time but will give me a goal to work toward. If I reach that goal, the next will be to maintain a weight between 135 and 139 for long term. (lifetime)
Today's intake was 1055, tomorrow will plan to get close to 1200, keeping the body guessing, don't want it to think the great famine has come. Enjoy, the great famine may well come in my lifetime if climate change and humans keep getting worse. (sorry, short rant) The weeds will probably survive, I'm learning to eat them. 
Tomorrow, sauteed weeds again, found a little bunch of daylily buds/blooms that had eluded me previously. Happy me, the bacon is thawing.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That sounds like a good idea to me. Going a bit below yiour original aim is a greeat way of making sure you don't go above it. Maintenance is the hardest part. I don't think the destruction of the environment will have much effect on us. it will be our grandchildren who have to find new ways to feed themselves! I'm off on an Extinction Rebellion march on Saturday.

That's what I'm hoping for. I know it is pretty much impossible to keep weight the same day after day. It goes up and down constantly so rather than try to keep it on a number, figured if there is a "range" of 4 pounds it gives me a little leeway. If I hit 139, definitely have to tighten up so I don't go over 140.
I kind of did this the last two winters when I went on maintenance. I didn't really identify it as having a range then but I would monitor my weight pretty closely and if it went up more than 3 pounds, I would diet for a few days, until it was back down.
You are probably right about the environment, although this year, not only has the weather been really crazy, garden crops here are NOT up to par. Tomato set is way down, those that set on early are not growing or ripening. However the foliage is out of control. I feel bad for future generations.
Good for you, marching for a cause. I'm so far out in the rural part of the state that the distance to any organized event is at least 200 miles. Not feasible for me at this point.
Congrats on breaking the 140 mark!

Posted by OldMetalHeadI hit a new weight milestone this week. Still trying for the six-pack.
Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
