Phase 3 - Day 2

I made it!!!! 30 days of "dieting" and now I'm taking 19 days "off" for metabolic recovery and a break. LOL I lost a total of 12.6lbs and 1.1% of body fat. Now my goal for phase 3 is to maintain a weight range of 3lbs. Really not as confusing as I just made it sound. My low weight was 232.0. I now eat 2000-2500 calories a day. When/If my weight gets up to 235.0, I go back on to Phase 1 for 2-3 days until I get back to my low weight of 232.0. In this way, I will maintain my current weight and be ready to start 30 more days of "dieting" in a couple of weeks. This plan is very doable for me and I really like it. Of course I can already tell that I'm going to need to watch myself like a hawk or I'll be putting that 3lbs on pretty quickly. I'm trying not to view this as a free-for-all, just a relaxation of the rules. I'm shooting for 90% on track and healthy eating. When I'm home, it will be healthy and portioned, but if I go out, I'm splurging. :o) That should work out to 90%/10%. :o)Off to go clean the car out. YIPPEE!!
