Plateau

I think I've hit a plateau with my weight. I lost about forty pounds and just stopped losing. I definitely have more I could lose. I think I've continued to gain muscle. But, it is possible my weight won't be changing. I'm hoping to lose another clothing size or two as more muscle happens. Although, there are no guarantees. I still feel good about doing what I can to be healthy. As long as I'm doing that - the weight doesn't matter as much. All I can do is my best.

Energetic Mojo

I've been feeling like I have more energy because I've been moving around more, getting the sleep I need, and eating food that is healthier for me. I still need to make sure I'm eating enough. There are times I don't feel like fixing anything or I just forget to eat. I'm working on that. I have a 'meals' category on my daily checklist in my bullet journal.
One thing about having more energy is that I'm up for getting more done. I like feeling more productive - although, I still have a long way to go. But, it's nice to feel like I'm able to check a few things off my list at the end of the day. Although, the way my brain works...I have to have small planning sessions throughout the day. The crazy thing is that if I don't I forget about the long 'to do' list.
Another thing that has come about because I have more energy is my ability to feel more comfortable around others. I can project more confidence. I've been able to participate more socially as well lately. That's been good. I've been able to do more things I enjoy, meet more people, and associate more often with those I already know. So, those are all good things.

Habit Update

I am keeping with the habits I have of regular exercise and sleeping habits. I'm currently working on nutrition. I'm doing better with that than I used to - just always room for improvement. I'm also thinking of ways to do more with movement/exercise and shifting my sleeping times. I'll be getting to bed earlier and getting up earlier.
I'm attempting to do more with whole grains, fresh produce, and a new thing to try...lentil pasta. It's fun to learn new things and try them out. I've also done more with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. I decided that if I was going to grab something to eat that was quick - might as well make sure it was at least a little healthy.
