Fallen off the planet

No, I haven't fallen off the planet for those of you who are used to be posting quite regularly - have just been very busy training for the City/Bay (4 weeks to go) and madly writing assignments at night (as if full time work isn't enough!).
Weight wise, nothing much is happening, I seem to be rather stagnant which is very frustrating when I'm so close now. What is happening though is that I'm getting quite upset by people telling me that I need to stop losing weight - that being in a Healthy BMI isn't for everyone, that for my age (42!) it isn't realistic, that you I don't want to become anorexic (for petes sake!) etc etc. I'm really sick of it, and finding it quite distressing having to justify my goals all the time. Hubby suggested I just tell people that I'm aiming to maintain now, but why should I have to lie!
My WHOLE focus of this journey has to become fit and healthy - which to me means a BMI in a healthy range, a waist measurement below 80 cm (achieved) and numerous other fitness goals you hear me rant and rave about often enough. The "goal" weight that I've set isn't even at the bottom of the BMI range, its one kilo below the top, and 3 kgs heavier than I was when I got married - and I wasn't "thin" then.
Agh well - feels good to get the emotions out - if you can't tell, its really p**ssing me off at the moment.
Weigh in tomorrow, and I will try and update my running log soon - right now I'm very tired and have a headache - not sure if its from my 12 km run this morning -or the boring study this afternoon.
Have a great week.
