Happily maintaining
Part of my successful maintenance this time around has been the conscious changes I've chosen to make. It's been a result of a lot of foot work and a real focus on the bonuses of better choices. However change is never easy and it's not as if we go from A to B to C and never back again. Lapses are unfortunately normal and I think the sooner we recognise them as just a blip and move on, the sooner we get back on track.
This year, I've only had one big blip and that was the other week after a dear friend that I met through CD left to move overseas. I miss her very much and have been avoiding most things to do with CD since. Anyhow, so I basically threw two fingers up at the world for one night, just about blew up PDT when I logged what I ate the next day (and boy it was impressive!) and got back on track. It happened, I moved on. That to me is successful maintenance.
I read about a maintenance wheel that LL uses on the main forum and decided to do a bit of Googling. I couldn't find much but thought this was quite interesting.
