So I've decided that September 20th is the day I finally go on maintenace.
That would make it exactly 110 days since starting the Dr. Bernstein diet.
I know I won't reach my ideal goal weight of 125 lbs., but if I hit 130 lbs., I think I'll be happy (enough).
I'm having a great time burning through my credit card buying new clothes. I had to donate 95% of my clothing since I've gone down 5 sizes!
But along with this new found happiness, I have to be honest, I'm a bit scared... Now I'm starting to worry about thing like..."Will I start to gain back my weight? Will I be able to keep it off?"
Logically speaking, the next step should be for me to start working out. Gym membership? Yoga? Bootcamp? Kick boxing? Swimming?
So many choices... but will I commit to any one of those?
I guess we shall see in the next several weeks...

It's been a while...
Hi everyone.
I'm sorry that it's been a while since my last post. I guess it's been close to a month now. Ooops.
Things to update you on:
The weight is slowly coming off. Unfortunately not as quickly like it did in month one. I'm loosing about 1.5 to 3 lbs. a week. Not too bad, but it could be better. I'm thinking that it's because my body has gotten used to this whole Dr. Bernstein diet thinggy.
I've changed my goal weight a bit. I think realistically, it's going to be 130 lbs. Yes, of course I would like to lose more, but I've already paid 2 eight week packages and with all the extras like vitamins, protein bars, etc., it's really starting to hurt my bank account.
I'm definitely scared to go on maintenance for fear that I'll just "let loose" and eat my way back to my original weight.
The great thing is now I'm able to fit into much smaller clothing. Going from an XL to a S/M is wonderful. Recently I picked up a new pair of GAP jeans in a size 27/4. That's crazy, but it makes me very happy.
Right now I'm thinking that I'll stay on the strict portion of the diet till the end of August, maybe possibly till mid September. To be continued...
