Christmas coming up, Can I still maintain?

I went to the store yesterday and did a weigh-in. I lost two more pounds and am now at 206. Just six pounds to my first goal, and 9 pounds to my half-way goal. 
We've had problems with our refrigeration system on the boat, so I had to put off my morning summer porridge. I have a glass of 100% pure juice in the a.m. or I make up a smoothie of Lo-fat choco milk (8 oz), vanilla yogurt (Chobani), a banana, chia seeds and a little ice. Sometimes, I add a teaspoon of pure maple syrup for a little more flavor.
I'm more busy now than before I started my eat-style program, so many days are no lunch days. Sometimes I will bring with me the fat-free flavored tuna packs with the crackers. If I'm at home, I will grab a burger bun with low cal mayo and a small pop-top can of tuna and make a sandwich.
Dinner is portioned controlled for chicken, pork, turkey meals. The turkey is usually ground turkey with a seasoning I got from Todd Wilbur's website. 
Snacks are my low-fat Lemon Meringue pudding cups, watermelon chunks, or the imitation crab bites. I also drink at least a bottle of water a day. About twice a month, Keith and I go out to the bar/restaurant for drinks and appetizers or dinner. I do portion control than, eating only half the dinner or a couple three of the appetizers, and sticking to light beer - no more than two - and I drink slowly. I usually skip lunch when I know we're going out.
So, even with all that, I'm still losing. 
So far, so good. 

Thanksgiving Weigh-In

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, I did a weigh-in. Success! I lost another pound and am now at 208.
For Thanksgiving Dinner, I had a slice of Turkey, green beans and about 1/2 cup of brown rice with 100% fruit juice to drink. NO PIE and NO DRESSING (my two favorites). I conquered!

Slow But Steady

So, I did my monthly weigh-in and blood pressure check a week ago today. I lost another 4 lbs. and the blood pressure is still good. That makes it only 14 more pounds to lose to get to my half-way point, and 39 total lost pounds to date. Cool!

Update #4

I went and did my monthly weigh-in and blood pressure check. 
Yippeee.....I lost the 2 lbs. I accidentally gained, plus another 3 lbs. I am now down to 214!
My blood pressure is now registering as normal. Since I started my eat-style program, it had been registering as "cautious". In other words, running a bit high.
I will get back to other, more thought provoking posts as soon as things return to normal in my daily life. Things are a bit up and down right now.

Update #3

So, less than two weeks after I last weighed in at 217, I was at the store and decided to do it again. I usually wait for a month between weigh-ins, but I figured 'what the heck'.
Oh no! 219! How did I manage to gain 2 pounds? 
Well, I'll tell you.
Between the weigh-ins, DH decided he wanted my Beans and Ham soup for dinner. Of course, that takes ham. So, we had two days of ham dinners before I made the beans and ham soup. The soup lasted 3 nights. 
I didn't know what the calorie count was for the soup (or the ham, for that matter), and having a very stressful week, I was not doing portion control. Now, you know where the 2 pounds came from.
When I finally got on the internet, I tried to find a recipe online that was closest to my recipe, and that also included a calorie count.
The closest I could find - 370 calories in 1 1/2 cups!
Yikes!
I know I had about 3 times that in my bowl - maybe even more.
That's the end of beans and ham for dinner. 
At least, for a while.
And I'll be doing much better in portion control when I do make it again.
Was all this a disappointment? 
Of course it was.
Did I fall off my program?
No. I don't see it that way. I see it as a human trait to falter once in a while.
Can I recover from it?
Yes. I can.
Will I be stupid next time?
Hope not.

Update #2

Even though things are up in the air for me right now, I still am trying to find the time to track and report my progress. So, here's an update.
Another 3 lbs gone. I am now down to 217 from 249. In four months, averaging 8 lbs a month, I have lost 32 lbs.
I have calculated reaching my goal weight by next May. That's not set, just a calculation. 
Of course, the weather is helping with this a lot. It is so hot and humid, that I only seem to want my crab bites and watermelon.......and lots and lots of water.
If I am still here when the weather cools, I will be heading to the local fitness center twice a week - to start.

Just a Quickie

I wanted to get this recorded - down to 221 lbs. Seven more pounds gone. 76 more to goal weight. Getting there.
