I really need to get over my paranoia. the reason I decided to stay below 160 instead of at 160 is that is was stressing me out to be that close to my upper limit of 164; some spike would take me over half way there. So I would stay below 160 because then it would be a big deal if I hit the top a few times. Only it is; now I am stressing about not hitting 160 the same way i was stressing about not hitting 164.

I am not too worried about the clothes I bought near and at goal. Belts are required; I can take most of my shorts off without unbuttoning them. They still look fine; only slightly baggy.
