I’m following this because I’m going to need it in a month or 2, the idea of maintenance scares me.

Cute outfits! I’ll play too.

Off I go to Wrigley! Hydration will be number 1 concern today.

I also cut my hair off on my sons birthday, just needed a change to get me through it. I took 7 inches off. It looks much better now that I learned to style it.

@ms.sss Oh I didn't know we were doing hair now! Haha. Here is my new haircut 😄

OOTD: hair Edition!
A milestone of sorts today...2 years after cutting off my hair into a pixie, my hair is finally long enough to all be put in a bun! Well, two buns...its not quite long enough to put in just one, lol.
Buns were my hairstyle of choice when I had long hair, and the bun "donuts" where my fave bun accessory.
I realize I look like an anime character, but whatevs, my hair is in a bun(s)!

We have a get-together after work tonight.... So I wore one of the sweaters i had bought for the Christmas party (that didn't happen) that came in in January.... hehehe

I am incredibly restless and antsy today. I think its because the sun is shining but its still too cold to hang out outside and I'm ACHING for summer to arrive. That and I have had like ZERO real exercise/activity in the past week cuz of a sore toe.
Sooo...decided to GET DRESSED. lol. Put on a pair of jeans (first time in weeks), did my hair and makeup (first time since xmas), even shaved my legs (first time since summer!). Put on a tube top to feel summer-y, but i got too cold soon after this pic and put on socks and a sweatshirt. Sigh.
The Kid when she saw me come out of my room in this outfit : "My, you look skanky today. I like it." She cracks me up. ❤️😂

I love it 🥰

I ordered a new dress today. (I LOVE Boden US) I think they read my algorithm and designed this dress for me. Unfortunately, that is not a picture of me. 😂

I haven’t put on an “outfit “ in so long! I do force myself to wear real clothes vs. loungewear everyday. I’m the type of person that tends to relax, or let up if I get too comfortable. It’s harder for me to detect a small gain with big stretchy pants.

I realized that even if I wanted to post a picture it would pretty much be a repeat of last year, which is something I’m really excited about. It’s so nice to not have a myriad of sizes stuffed in my closet that I hope fit or I hope will fit down the road.

I’m so ready for winter to be over. Everyone looks fantastic!

Pretty much a variation of everything else I own!

Ok, so I've technically been in maintenance for 1.5 years now. Not counting the first 2 months immediately after stopping weight loss phase (when I lost 12 lbs trying to find my sweet spot), I have basically maintained my current weight +/- 5 lbs the entire time.
I have loosened the reins quite a bit since weight loss days.
Fruit: I am not a big fruit eater, but if presented with something that looks good, I'll eat it. I don't have any off limit fruits, but I don't eat much in the first place anyway...mostly just as a topping on a salad. I hate fruit juice. Oh, but I LOOOOVE avocados, which I probably have 1-2 times a week (again, mostly as a topping on a salad)
Vegetables: I eat all sorts of veggies all the time/every day...with the exception of potatoes.
Refined Sugar: I long ago opened the floodgates to sugar consumption. Dessert is a legitimate food group for me.
Other processed carbs: I still stay away from rice, Pasta, and bread. HOWEVER, I recently discovered the joy of homemade bread making, and have actually had maybe the equivalent of 2 slices of bread this past week or so. Since it was so delicious, I'm going to keep eating it.
I still log my food, but I no longer put as much concern on the type of calorie I consume (to a certain extent), I mostly really only pay attention to my total calories now. So if I eat a cookie or a carrot or some of the ridiculously yummy homemade bread, so long as I stay under 1800 cals (more if I'm exercising more), then it's all good.
I will say though, that I gained and lost 6 lbs TWICE this year...and when I was trying to lose, I did pay attention to the type of calorie. Once I reached my happy place again, I am back to just monitoring total calories.

Awwwww thank you! I’ve been wearing huge eyelashes to totally distract from everything else 😂

This pic is not from today, but from 1/10/21. My sis was recovering from Covid on Xmas, so we had to postpone it until then. This is me, down 75 lbs. and 5 sizes. I feel great, and it was good to get dressed in something other than sweatpants. Hubby did a "photo-shoot" when we got back home. The sweater was given to me as a Xmas gift from my parents. I am Greek/Egyptian, and I love all things Greek Key print.

Well it was super cold... so i wore the emerald green sweater dress (again)..... boots. dinner we shared (stealing description straight from menu) Hudson Valley Fois Gras pan-seared and served over a wild mushroom ragout and port reduction, Filet MR and scallops with Gruyere & chive scalloped potatoes... dessert was a petit four. New diamond earrings studs (not the loops) and diamond "righthand ring". If anyone can help, i'd love to know more about the ring. All i know is its diamonds and blue enamel in white gold and that's it's older.

OOTD featuring excess arm skin that I’ll probably never fix 😂

Love our viewing habits & routines. I watch British Masterchef (celebrity & professional too), British Bake-off, Great British Menu & British Bake-off Professionals when I eat dinner. (Mmmm? Sounds like I’m a bit of an Anglophile.) Quite happy to watch them over & over too.

I used to eat dinner while watching it 😂
