May/June weight loss thread

Back up to 142 I have not been making wise choices this week - too much emotional eating. Little Bear might be the cutest baby I have ever seen! I love my three children to death, but they took a little longer to become that irresistible.

No change here. Considering I spent 4 days with my folks this week celebrating my dad's birthday, and I ate and drank way too much rich food and sweets and didn't exercise at all while I was there, I'm happy I didn't gain.

185.2 I ate everything in sight this week. I couldn't stop myself. Last night I ate a huge steak, drank really good wine and split two desserts with my friend and she didn't eat her fair share. So now I am back from my vacation away from dieting and will be dieting again this week.

Now that it has stopped raining I can finally get out and ride. still at 151 but feeling great now that I have ridden 4 days in a row without rain!!

Raining here now so my chance at squeezing in a ride is slim. I have to go post 'yard sale' signs all over the place near my friends house. Three of us do a yard sale each year and then the money we raise goes to charity. Last year and this one, it will all go to my ride in August, which is good because my teammates will collect things for us to sell then we donate in each of their names. Win win for everyone. I was hoping I could ride before the signage, but not with this rain! Hopefully tomorrow after transporting all the things I've collected down to the location of the sale. Life keeps getting in my way of riding!

I'm not weighing until tomorrow, but I had to post today anyway. I'm pretty sure I'll see a gain, but it's for a good reason. I am FINALLY getting back into a real exercise routine. I'm achy and sore, so I feel good. BUT, this means that it'll be a couple of weeks before the scale starts to move again. In fact, it'll probably go up. Today, my jeans were extra tight even though I have been riding and eating well this week. That's just the way my body works.

I've been sloth-like for so long that getting back on the exercise bandwagon is going to cost me in the short term. That's ok as long as I'm mentally prepared (and it's why I'm posting now). I know that in about 4 to 5 weeks, I'll start reaping the rewards in terms of scale weight and clothing fit. In the meantime, I get to feel better both physically and mentally while I frantically search for stretchy things to wear to get me over this 'hump'!

136.2 again...

My century bike ride is in two week. I am finding it too hard to be in "Calorie Deficit Mode" while training for this event.

Therefore, for the next two weeks, I am planning to maintain my weight, not lose weight. So, 136.2 is good!

After the century ride, I will get back to being serious about losing these last few pounds.

I am FINALLY getting back into a real exercise routine. I'm achy and sore, so I feel good.

SO, this means we're on for our Wednesday night bike ride next week, yes?
