Progress... but slow!

As I noted last week, this last 10 lbs feels far harder than the 30 lbs before it. I had a minor plateau over the last week, getting stuck at just under 195 lbs for about 5 or 6 days. That's a real frustration for me, as I'm looking for a steady downward trend. As much as I know, intellectually, that day-by-day weight will vary up and down, the emotional impact is significant. Even a very minor downward step will get me up, while any upward move will get me down.
Oh, well, today was good, with a new low of 192.2 lbs, only 7.2 lbs to goal! The thing that I need to start thinking about now is how I maintain that weight. I'm expecting a bit of rebound, so I'll probably stay, at least partially, on the diet for a week or two or three once I hit my goal, so that I can ease back into "normal" food. I don't need to quite start planning that post diet diet yet, but it feels good to know that it's only a few weeks away *cross fingers*.
