May/June weight loss thread

[GLC1968]

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.

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

Yep, I'm up a bit, but not as much as I'd thought, which is cool.

172.4 for me this week.

Today I weighed in at 134! Yay!

I think all those kms on the bike are doing me some good!

I gained almost 3 lb in 1 night. Sleeping! Possible? Well, it has almost all stayed. It does feel like I have a pound or so extra on each breast due to that TOTM. Unbelievable! Put me in at 168. That's crazy! Hopefully it will go as quick as it came.
