TE Fall Weight Loss Challenge - Sept/Oct

[Grits]

140 Whoohoo! At this time next week, I should be back down below my "highest acceptable weight" which is 139.

I started the week having gained two pounds doing the MS 150, and I was really careful about not overfueling, so that was discouraging. My theory, not supported by any scientific backing, is that when you do hours more exercise than your body is used to, it says "EEK, We are obviously being chased by predators! Conserve calories and fluids for extra energy later!" Kind of like when people go on crash diets and their bodies think it is famine time. Anyway, that is my theory.

I was careful this week, didn't do any crazy dieting and didn't do a lot of exercise, but still am down 3 pounds since Monday, so it obviously wasn't real fat weight, must have been fluids. I would not have been as motivated to get it off if I didn't know I was weighing in this morning.

137.0 this week. I was very happy to see this on the scale this morning! Thought for sure I would have gained this week, it's been very stressfull and I've eaten like cr#p.

Our dog went lame late Monday night and I've been home from work since then. He's getting better, but I'm not sure how much better he can get. He's on Prednisone, which he's been on before, and he's up and walking again. He's only 6 1/2 yrs old and was diagnosed with stenosis and 2 cycsts all at C1 & C2 when he was 23 months old. OK enough of that, sorry for the hijack.
