WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

[Tuckervill]

Tuckervill - Cruising with the Barenaked Ladies!? They're advertising that cruise on the radio in the mornings here in Chicago. I am so jealous! We're cruising, but not 'til February. I would much rather cruise with BNL.

I wouldn't be going if we hadn't stumbled on the website accidentally. We're not a "viable market" for advertising. BNL is my and my son's favorite band. There will be other bands, too. OMG, when we booked there were only 5 artists, and now there are 17!!

Barenaked Ladies
Guster
Great Big Sea
Gaelic Storm
Carbon Leaf
Oakhurst
New Odds
Jason Plumb
Howie Beck
Sarah Perrotta
Sarah Harmer
54 Seconds
Brian MacMillan
Thin Buckle
David Aiken
Debra DiGiovanni
Boothby Graffoe

It's crazy--I'm not that into music although I like to listen to all kinds when it's presented--I've never heard of anyone on this list except BNL. I bought a Guster CD just so I could see what they were like. There's not going to be any time to go ashore with all these acts to hear!

There are still cabins--you could cancel yours and go on ours!

Warning: This may be TMI, bowel related.

I've been having trouble with my stomach for about a week--gassy, painful, and not able to "go". I was considering maybe even gall bladder trouble because of pain. Also I had my period and that usually clears things up, but it didn't. Yet, I got down to 183 last week. Because of the bowel trouble I re-evaluted my diet (too many potatoes, but I was PMSing) and made sure I had some more salad and oatmeal. I upped my water, too.

I worked out hard yesterday. I cleaned the house, and shopped and was up all day. I only went over my calorie goal by 50--even with my son's birthday cake. The last few days, very good numbers. This morning, let's just say my bowel troubles were over in a big way.

My weight? 184.8!

I know I know I'm not supposed to weigh every day. Some people say do, some don't, I've tried it both ways. At this time I feel I have to focus focus focus and that's part of the focus. Very annoying that I'm up almost two pounds!

On a hopeful note, my measurements are down over all since the last time I measured, and I'm sure they still are. Hope tomorrow is better.

Karen -
Just a thought here - I am ALWAYS up a bit the day of and the morning/afternoon after I work out hard like you said you did. I had someone (one of the infamous "they", I suppose) say that the muscles are requiring more oxygen and water to promote the healing process and therefore we gain "weight" I lost a large amount of weight at a center that was right next door in a small plaza to a women's gym. The women would come in to the WLCenter, weigh, go next door, work out, and come back in and weigh. They would be up anywhere from 1-3 pounds.
No advice for the pooper
Chin up, baby!

Wow, that's good to know!!! I think things are flowing pretty well, now. I'm back on the straight and narrow diet as of yesterday.

Next to BNL, Guster is the only other band on the list that I know...and I LOVE them! If you are a BNL fan, I think you'll like Guster, particularly some of their older stuff. It's awesome! You are going to have so much fun!!
