Thanks to the inspiration of another thread ("What are the signs you're slipping from maintenance?") I've restarted my food and activity log over at Fitday.

NOT PAYING ATTENTION is one of my signals. Like if I don't notice, it isn't happening? A food log brings me to reality. How many nuts are you really eating? Do you think you should be having wine every day? At this stage of the game, shouldn't you be more careful about carb creep--and even calorie count?

All these things show up on the log and hold me accountable.

In addition, I'm going to try out a technique to boost my walking workouts: that is, short sprints interspersed with the fast walking. I did it this morning, and I have to say I don't like it. But I can feel the difference, and maybe this (along with the log) will be helpful in dropping those pesky last ten lbs.

I'll let you know.

Best wishes to all.
