It's amazing how well things work when you actually do them right. I stayed on track for the last week, counted my points, and tracked them daily, and I am very proud to say that I am down 3.5 pounds. That puts me back at the very top of my maintenance range.
My next goal is to get back into my exercise routine. I have let that slip a little here lately. My problem is that I absolutely loathe riding my stationary bike, but it seems to be the only routine I have been able to stick to. Now that the weather is cooling off, I hope to get outside and go walking some. At least that would shake up the routine some. I guess I could drag out my real bike so I would at least feel like I am going somewhere, but I would probably be as graceful as my friend Jenny. I haven't been on that bike since I found out I was pregnant with Stephen back in 1999.
Anyway - hope everyone else over at Tales from the Scales had a good week too.

Brian has been going to therapy for carpal tunnel as well as lower back pain. My sister starts physical therapy today for carpal tunnel as well. This got me to thinking, as much time as I spend at my computer, it is almost inevitable that some day I will develop this as well. So for a little preventative measure, I switched my mouse to my left hand. Talk about a way to really mess with your mind. Now I am left-handed, so you wouldn't think this would be such a big deal, but it is all in what you get used to. Though I do think that being a lefty makes it easier for me to adapt because most things in this world are made for right-handed folks, it is really a struggle to retrain your mind. I challenge you to try it for a day, mostly so I won't be the only one confused about right clicks and left clicks being totally backwards.

If you start riding the real bike all I can say is have the Hospital on Speed Dial...JUST IN CASE!!! :)
Congrats on the loss!!! I am excited for you and look forward to seeing what you do through maintenance. I am not there myself, having 30 lbs to go, but I have been thinking more and more about it.
That's wonderful!! Great job!

3.5 pounds? That's great!! Congrats on the loss and good luck this week!
Good job!
That's such a great loss! I'm really happy for you...Woo Hoo!!!
You rock! Good for you for getting back into your maintainance zone. I am not very good with exercising either and for me I do the treadmill in front of the tv. It helps immensely that the season has began because now I can tell myself "No treadmill, No TV"! Keep up the awesome job!!
