First few days of maintenance
So I've been on maintenance since Thursday. It's an interesting new and different challenge.
I've not been overly stressed over gaining weight. At least not nearly as much as I originally thought I'd be. There's a portion of me that is still going "really? I need to eat more? really? I'm not done with the points of the day?"
I've rekindled tracking diligently. Not that I had stopped tracking at all but I was a bit more lax in my tracking where I would wait until the day was done or the next morning but now I'm faithfully tracking (maybe a bit compulsively too) as I go along or even ahead if I can. I don't want to go above points nor do I want to end the day realizing that I still have a gazillion points to eat.
I've been struggling a little to find a good balance of when to eat the points. I'm trying to spread it all out more so that I don't end the day with like 20 points left.
It's kind of nice to have all these extra points but kind of overwhelming as well. When I was at the store, I didn't know what to get so I didn't get that much. I'll figure this out. It's just different. ;)
