I have stayed away from the Easter candy, although I faintly hear it calling my name.

Took the kids and a family friend for an Easter morning hike, slowly going almost five miles. Since I knew I wouldn't keep my usual pace, I loaded extra weight into my pack so I would have to work harder. It was a glorious day and we enjoyed be out in the beautiful world.

For about the last mile, we started talking about lunch and all the wonderful food we could eat. Since we had the dog with us, I suggested they drop me off at home so I could take care of the dog as well as get started on the stuff we are supposed to be bringing to a friend's for dinner. Even though I chose leftover lasagna from the freezer for lunch, I am sure that was better than the big burrito with extra sauce I had been daydreaming about on the way down the mountain!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day.

I am back to stay for a while this time. I find that my food choices are drifting further and further from where I want them to be. I need to get back to tracking everything I eat so I can get my perspective realigned.

Exercise has been no problem. Despite El Nino and the rains that have dumped all over northern CA in the past few months, I have already completed over 100 hiking miles this year! My goal was 250 for the entire year, but I may need to rethink that number. I love it. I have started adding more weight to my backpack each time to increase the work out. My dog has never been happier! I still get to the gym, but I will admit that I have not been working so hard there. I did take my first Body Pump class last week and I really liked that. I will be doing that again regularly.

It is the eating. I have been thinking a lot about the good choices that have become part of my way of thinking. I eat much healthier overall, for example, including many veggies and fruits in my day. I have not completely lost the new healthy outlook, but I see things slipping and I need to nip that in the bud. I ran up against my old nemesis, potato chips, and he won that round. Then, the cookies kicked me while I was down. After that, I figured I might as well have that wine... I felt so sluggish and blah after eating too much of these foods that are not good for me.

I know better, but I did it anyway, and that bothers me. I have worked very hard to stay fit and healthy and I won't let ruffles and snickerdoodles undercut all of that effort!

Hello to my FS friends,

I love to pop in and see you all continuing to do your best to live healthy lives! I have been away from the site for a while, but reading notifications occasionally, so I still feel a sense of connection and accountability to the people on FS who helped me so much over the past year.

Yes, a year already! Maintenance has been treating me pretty well, but I feel like it is still a work in progress. I definitely have good and bad days, eating-wise. I have been avoiding the scale that I had become sort of obsessed with for a while, but my clothes still fit and I still feel great, so I consider myself successful so far. I have become much more in touch with what my body needs. I can feel when I start to go too far off the rails and can correct myself. Hopefully, I will be able to keep that up for the rest of my life and not have to lose that weight again.

I have been getting plenty of exercise. Hiking has become my favorite! I have logged over 60 miles so far this year. My dog loves me more than ever. I still go regularly to the gym and sometimes walk with a group of folks in the neighborhood. (I call those my flat walks as compared to the foothills and mountains I have become accustomed to on my hikes. :))

Have a great weekend!
