My weight stayed constant last year, not so bad. I reconciled myself to being in maintenance, and except for the detox period, it stayed phenominally consistent - three pounds change the whole year,

So the question that is consuming me, as I finish up eating the Christmas sweets, is whether I should make a try for blasting below the floor of my weight I keep bouncing off of. Should I try losing the last 10-15 pounds that takes me to the "goal weight" I've had in mind for 20 years? The weight that I actually saw for about 48 hours at the turn of the millenium?
The things I know I want to do:
- Get back into running (I've taken a vacation from running since the last 5K in November).
- Eat more fish (I realized I cooked fish during the detox diet and it was the first time I had done that in maybe 20 years - except for shrimp and salmon, which somehow don't count).
- Eat more soups (I made turkey soup out of the carcass, using my new slow cooker. I got really full and happy for not so many calories.)
- Keep eating vegetables (I haven't had so many in the house to choose from recently).
- Take my lunch to work more often.
- Cook more.
I'm scheduled in June to stand in front of a bunch of strangers and talk about my weight loss history. Wouldn't it be nice to have a new bit of success to talk about? I think I'm going to go for it, but at the same time I'm wondering how committed I am. That's why I'm in the "contemplation" phase now.

Just caught up with your last posts. The adventures one is really something. Good for you -except for course the ER ones - yowza, BAD ADVENTURE. But the running and meetup ones are really impressive. And I like reading about your different strategies. I will never be as willing to record data as you, but I do see the appeal in facts around such emotional issues.
Thanks!
