Logical Decisions

It's amazing when you are not in the throws of TOM how your brain can work logically. I came up with a decision yesterday morning which I am quite happy with.

I know that I came up with a plethora of reasons why I was determined to make it down to LIW before I started my next round, and well, I got to thinking yesterday morning how I might be setting myself up for failure.

You all know that I set my goals as something that is reasonable. I don't think my wishes to get down to LIW were reasonable, especially with the never ending fact that my weight for almost an entire month was hovering at 170 while I was in California - I do now believe that I set myself a new set point, and that for the last three weeks of being home, I keep coming back to that number. Easily I might add.

I went over some of my round first four round numbers, aw come on, you know I enjoy doing that! And this is what I found. That even if I start my next round at 10 lbs over my LIW I should be able to get that off with in a week, maybe two - ok, so what that I might only lose a net 5 that cycle, that would still be most awesome, and then I wouldn't be in this predicament again. I would continue after my planned interruption at a decent weight and then start almost immediately losing weight that was never lost before.

So with all of that in mind, I am now considering my LIW at 170 - I will strive to not go over the 2 pound mark, just like in a real Phase 3, and if I happen to go below, way below, I will consider it a bonus and move on.

I know I will receive alot of I TOLD YOU SO's from the community, and well, quite frankly, I deserve them. All I can offer you is that Aliens had invaded my soul and I wasn't thinking clearly.

I have already reflected that decision in the above numbers. And I have taken off my weight graph. So bear with me people while I attempt until May 3 (1st injection of 5th and final round) to stick pretty much to Phase 3 - I will strive to be a model student this time!

On to my commenter's - these are my responses to yesterday's comments:

Mary - Well, things have taken on a new look, what do you think?

Becca - You crack me up with your security word thingies. LOL Weather is simply GORGEOUS!

B - TOM is leaving! YEAH! Things can get back to NORMAL!
