Maintenance Appears to be Working–Who Knew?
I am happy to report that I am back to where I was last week. As noted previously, my approach to maintenance is to stay within three pounds, either way, of my targeted weight. So over the last week, I went back to my low calorie strategy (1200 a day), with the exception of one 2000 calorie day thrown in for good measure, until I had lost those three pounds. Ideally, I would stay at 1200 calories a day until I was down a couple more pounds, but I am traveling this weekend. Given the opportunities for higher calorie consumption during travel, however, I will probably just go back up to my maintenance allocation (between 1500-1800 calories a day) and figure on dropping back down again when I return.
Regardless, I’ll let you know what Monday brings! And hopefully, I’ll have some good traveling tips to report!
