May/June weight loss thread

Heh heh.

And since we were talking about donuts earlier, for a little perspective I looked up the points value of a cream (excuse me, kreme )-filled donut with chocolate icing from Krispy Kreme.

9 points, more than my entire sashimi dinner.

A simpler donut would be on the order of 5-7 points.

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!

240 and I am at this moment waiting to board a plane to Waikiki. Yeah, baby.

Hope you have a great trip!!

PS I finally treated myself to a real road bike!!!!

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.

Oh cool, can't wait to read it. You kinda just described me too. So your take on it all will be very relevant to me!

I'm at 166 again. Bad girl all week for diet, and not enough workouts. That adds up to No weight loss! Imagine that

[jobob]

But no weight gain, either!

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.

Congratulations on the new bike! Pictures?

I can hardly wait to get back to mine, but Waikiki is beautiful, there's a two-mile walking path to the foot of Diamond Head just outside our hotel, and I'd like to think I'm working off the buffet breakfasts by swimming in the ocean every day, but to be honest, floating is not much of a challenge, and I don't think treading water uses up that many calories.

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!

65.6kg this week. As you can see, I didn't try very hard this week.

[uk elephant]

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.
