I've reached my goal weight! Now what????

The day I reached my goal weight was an exciting one!  It was also a day that I thought, "now what?"

Well, for one, I want to at least STAY at this weight, so I have to continue my fitness routine and continue my current eating habits so that I am not back on that roller coaster ride gaining and losing and gaining again.

Also, the weight I chose as my "goal weight" was just that.  It was a realistic weight that I am comfortable with.  Could I afford to lose another five pounds?  It wouldn't hurt.  Would it be nice to SEE my ab muscles?  Of course!  So, if I continue my fitness routine and continue keeping an eye on my eating habits, MAYBE, just MAYBE I could lose another pound or two....but, if I don't, I'm okay with that, too.  My goal was not to have six pack abs.  I know that, to do that, I have to be more strict with my nutrition, but I still want those occasional Oreos and Girl Scout Cookies....so.....I have to be realistic.

I've been working 5-6 days/week for almost a year now and am excited that fitness has become a habit in my life that I don't have to think about making time for.  I feel stronger, more energetic, and better about how my clothes fit.  Not only do I not want to lose all of that, but I think I'd be lost if I didn't start my day with my workouts now.

Does this mean that I'm "stuck" purchasing fitness program after fitness program?  Absolutely not!  I could rotate through the programs I have for years and years to come.  Of course, I've become a bit of an addict, so I may have to purchase a program or two more if Tony or Shaun come out with anything new in years to come....

Does this mean I'm "stuck" drinking Shakeology for the rest of my life?  I COULD stop, but why would I?  This is the quickest, easiest, healthiest meal that I have ever made, so why would I stop drinking it every day?  I've been asked if I am sick of having a chocolate shake for lunch EVERY SINGLE day.  Ummmmm....no....but I do occasionally change flavors and branch out to Vegan Tropical or strawberry....however, I always go back to my chocolate!

So, the answer to what to do now?  Keep doing what I've enjoyed doing for the past year!  Duh.  I've gotten to the point where I enjoy what I am doing and it is a part of my life.  Why would I change that?
