I'd be fat as a cow if I ate all the dinners I am offered, of various ethnic foods... Puerto Rican, Italian, Lebanese. I just laugh and say DH has dinner waiting, which is true some of the time.
164.
I'm kind of over this at the moment, but since my secondary goal was posting every week.....I'm here.
153.8. Thank goodness I'm moving back down in the right direction. My body seems to be doing its own thing lately re weight. I'm seriously plateaued. I have upped my weight training to four days a week, and am starting to get back on my bike for short, easy-gear spins as I'm still recovering from my stupid ankle injury. I know getting in some more cardio work should help. I keep telling myself to get on my dang rowing machine, but it just taunts me from the corner of my living room. I'm stubbornly resistant to it right now, even though I know I like rowing. WTH?
Woot - back to 125.0 :)
I am chiming in today, as I am going away in a couple of hours.
106.8. Up a pound, but given I haven't exercised for 10 days, and I've been lying around, sick, eating things I don't normally eat, it's OK.
I know I will not make my goal, given the vacation.
Grrr..... I reached 120 yesterday, but today I'm just a hair over, so I have to report in at 121.
104.5 again -- my lowest weight of the week. Yesterday I was 106. Those fluctuations will make you crazy!
Up again at 110.6. Ugh.
154.4. So stuck.
Hang in there, it will come. That "stuck" phase is SO darn frustrating, I know...Quote:

Hmmmm, 118.4 this week, and I was really pretty good. Better than the Vegas week to be sure. Discouraging that I didn't even maintain. I really need to get some real exercise. It's the missing element, I think (I have been deep water running and it's really not that hard, even doing intervals).
I did get 2 skate ski days in this weekend. I know, 2 days does not fitness make, but at least I was able to do something other than water run.
I haven't weighed myself since I got back from Vt. Going to wait until Friday. My eating has been good this week, though I have not given up the red wine or chocolate :). But, with the decreased exercise due to being sick, I am sure I'll either be the same or a little more than my last weigh in. This challenge has been a big fail for me and I am not sure why, as I am doing pretty much the same stuff I did last winter when the pounds fell off. I only need to lose 2-4 lbs. so I am not obsessing, but it is annoying. I can't let myself get upset because it does seem impossible for me to go totally Paleo. My eating habits have changed so much in the last ten years, that I am trying to focus on the good, such as a lot more veggies, more fruit, no fake foods, no more Asian cuisine that seems to blow me up, very little grains.
Admitting that I am human! I hate it when people tell me how "disciplined" I am; not really.
Crankin, you are indeed human and eat much cleaner than most people, also exercise way more! You have been sick and traveling, so don't beat yourself up over a few extra lbs.
I am pretty sure I'm going to be up this week. Since the tumble I took Sunday, I haven't felt much like exercise. I'm actually much better this morning, hardly any of the neck/whiplash pain is left now, but with my skinned knee, I opted to skip Wed. morning yoga today. I can't do anything on hands/knees or even child's pose. Maybe by Saturday I will go and just try to modify the poses where necessary.
In the meantime, I've been cooking and eating more than I should. Oh well, I'm human too. :rolleyes:
