Of course I have now been craving donuts. :)

...and I am doing a metric tomorrow. Maybe that will help. I have been eating strawberries and blueberries galore here. Yum, but that donut ride sounds right up my alley!!!
After 3 weeks of end of school/state testing, parties, etc. I haven't weighed in. I did yesterday at 147 lbs so I didn't gain anything, or my increased cycling is paying off. Why is cake always served at faculty meetings? And why am I so addicted to it?!
240 and I am at this moment waiting to board a plane to Waikiki. Yeah, baby.
channlluv - have a blast!
171.2 for me this week. I guess Wednesday was a fluke but I'm actually ok with this weight. As I ramp up my activity, I'm happy to be maintaining my weight and not gaining. :)
Is it too late to change? I put 131 yesterday which would be 3 weeks the same but I weighed in under 130 twice this week and 130 this morning, before my metric!! :D:D. So....I am going for 130 this week! Is that legal!??!!
Thanks Posse!!
holding in at 150
Wow - LeeBob and I went out for sushi dinner last night. I was good for the most part and stuck with sashimi and avoided the rice. Except I had to have a slice of the Rock & Roll my husband ordered (it's like a crabmeat & avocado California roll, but with grilled eel instead of crabmeat)
It worked out to a tasty and filling and reasonably low-points meal (I'm on WW so everything is in points for me).
Here's how I figured it, using the points lookup function on the WW web site:
1/2 cup edamame beans (before shelling) = 0.5 points
1 cup miso soup = 2 points
10 pieces of tuna sashimi @ 1 pt / 4 pcs = 2.5 points
An order of sunomono salad with a bit of crab on top, which I estimated at 2 points
(sunomono salad is very thinly sliced cucumber with slightly sweetened rice wine vinegar. Technically the cucumber is 0 points, but with the combo of the sweetening and the crabmeat I'm giving it 2 points, which is probably an overestimate)
1 piece of my husband's Rock & Roll = 1.5 points
(like a California roll but with eel instead of crab) - I'm giving it the points for 2 pieces to be on the safe side since it also had tobiko (flying fish eggs) and it was an inside-out style roll with extra rice.
This worked out to about 8.5 points for a really delicious and filling meal -- that's not bad for a dinner out. :cool:
The sunomono salad in particular was very filling and tasty with the loads of cucumber. I'm not a huge fan of cucumber, but when it's very thinly sliced like that it's really good.
My daily points allowance is 19 points, not counting the extra 35 points per week for splurging and such, and not counting the activity points I get (2 points for 30-45 minutes of moderate effort on my trainer, which is the best I can do right now). So a sashimi dinner ain't bad in the scheme of things.
Wow was this geeky WW post boring or what ? :cool: :D
Not to those of us on WW.:DQuote:

9 points, more than my entire sashimi dinner.
A simpler donut would be on the order of 5-7 points. :p
Just sayin'
I'm late checking in... I was at a Carmichael Cycling Camp and didn't take my computer. Still weighing in at 141. But it's ok, 'cause I know my body is getting smaller from the workouts I've been doing!
Hope you have a great trip!!Quote:

And yet all I see in that post is donut donut donut. :)
And I want to hear more about the cycling camp. I have a childhood friend that I recently found out did that but I found out while at a bike event and didn't get much chance to get the details, other than she thinks my sister and I should definitely do it.

I'm working on a post about the cycling camp. It was very hard for me (I'm a late-blooming rider who is not very fit). But I absolutely loved it! More to come on a new thread.Quote:

Back to 143 - I was on vacation for the last week and ate like there was no tomorrow. My main problem is that I am facing some medical tests this week which may turn out to be minor or may be very serious. I spent way too much time trying to prepare myself for the procedures with some research and of course most of the information you find is on the worst case scenario. Let's just say my anxiety level has led to quite a bit of mindless eating. The great thing is that my must serene moments are on a bike - it is simply impossible to worry about too much else when you are attempting to keep up with the pack or climb a hill.
Thanks, jobob! :)
Long Island, NY is really beautiful - very different than I expected. Lots and lots of lovely orchards, fields, grasslands, and orchards. And very, very flat.
I ended up only doing 80 miles. My good friend "bonked" at exactly 80 miles and I stopped to take care of her. By the time I was sure that she was okay, it was too late to finish.
But that's okay - I still had a ball and I feel good that I helped out a friend.

nolemom -- hope it all goes well. Try to relax and not drive yourself crazy with anticipation.Quote:

I had my first-ever margarita tonight at Duke's, along with a great grilled mahi mahi sandwich and a basket of fries, while watching the surfers out in front of the hotel while this great duo played awesome beach bar music. It was a great date. And there was this guy there that I'd swear was Woody Harrelson. He was, um, really enjoying the music, let's just say.
I won't be weighing in this week, but only because I don't have a scale hand. Yeah, that's it. No scale. Ha!

I am happy to hear you are having such a good time. Here is a link to what I purchased:Quote:

65.6kg this week. As you can see, I didn't try very hard this week. :rolleyes:
I didn't try very hard this week either. Life keeps getting in the way. But weighed in at 211.6. Seems I'm doing ok on the eating front, just haven't had time or energy for any decent exercise. I'm hoping the energy levels will soon be up. I'm starting vitB injections today which should help with the fatigue. Then lots of hiking planned for the week-end with my dad which should kick start my exercise again.
153.34 lb - slightly down since the last weigh in. Have to be honest. Been sneaking chocolate, but it's all gone now and I won't buy any more. :)
145 again. :confused:
I don't think I'm ever going to budge from this weight.
182.2
204.4 Up .4 lbs.
Very depressing. I've been food journaling, exercising, saying "no" to the soft pretzels and potato chips. Eating lots of veggies . . . . Sigh. I've even gained back all the inches I lost. :mad:
Back up to 143
This is what lousy eating & not exercising enough will do! :mad:
This coming week HAS to be better (fingers crossed!)
Down to 139.5. It's going slowly, but continuing to move in the right direction. :cool:
Stayed the same at 156.
It's been a crazy-busy week at work, conveniently coinciding with my first week back at full time (um, yay? :p) and when I'm stressed out I hit the snacks. And I had no desire to climb on the trainer.
So all in all I'm glad I managed to stay the same ... :rolleyes:
I can't seem to break 147, even with increased activity. So, I am still the same and going to the beach tomorrow.
131 and no excuses! well, rain, rain, rain, all week, after a 100 mile weekend, I never got back on the bike this week.
I am off to Bike Virginia for the next 6 days, leaving in a few hours!! Yeah! I can't wait. I hope to meet Tulip there and I will be camping with about 10 friends. What a blast! Weather tomorrow is 60% chance of afternoon thunderstorms but our camp will be set for two days so won't have to pitch in the rain. Then, hot but no rain in the forecast! :D
Steady as she goes at 129.0
180.0. I have really been struggling. It seems I lose weight and then gain it right back. Lose a pound, gain two pounds. I don't get it.
I am stuck at 150. Pretty stressful week at work, and today my work computer got this huge virus that no one can get rid of which puts me further behind.:( Hope to get out and ride this weekend.
Oh my, I'm just not getting it done. :(
I am feeling like I need to take a break from weighing in.
So, Possegal, could you just take me off the chart for now? I'm not a quitter but I think that this decision is best for me right now.
But, as Arnold always says, "I'll be back!"
Good luck everyone and keep up the good work.

140.6 -- Finally! The scale moved a little. I've been doing intervals on my bike.. heavy gear, stand up and pedal as fast as I can for 10-12 seconds. Rest/Recover, do it again. I needed something to shake up my stupid body to start losing again :)
I was so determined to get out and ride this morning before it hit 100 degrees again I forgot to weigh in!!
Its been a slow riding week this week due to the heat. I love my new bike thought!!!
