My weight took a roller coaster ride this week. I went up 2 lbs practically overnight on Sunday. I'm sure it was because I rode every single day on my last week of vacation, overloaded my muscles and my body was holding onto water. I had 2 rest days from exercise when I went back to work Monday, my legs recovered from feeling like lead weights, and I am back down to just below where I was last week: 127.4

My goal for the challenge is 126... What do you all think: if get down to 126.8 will it count? (my real goal is 120 - which I hope to reach by the end of January, at the rate of about 1/2 lb a week, which seems to be my average)

I didn't even bother weighing myself (I did last monday and was at 242.8) today. I have had a very rough week... my friend sarah...age 30 just got diagnosed with a reocurrance of breast cancer. (she was 25 the first time). Her and her husband are my main biking partners. This has brought my own battle up close and personal.......even though I am fine...is the shoe going to drop?

I have had a hard time eating right....I will try to get back on track next week.

Txred9876, so sorry to hear about your friend . I hope she responds to whatever treatment is next for her. And I understand your own apprehension. My DH has been in remission for 18 years (had a bone marrow transplant in 1991 for a recurrence of non-Hodgkins's lymphoma), but hardly a day goes by that I don't think about it and wonder if it's gone for good.

I've been feeling kind of blah for the last week. Sort of like I'm on the cusp of a cold, which would be my first in years. No motivation for any kind of exercise, so I've been a sloth since Monday and eating stuff I shouldn't. I dreaded getting on the scale, but - surprise - it read 133 this morning. I don't get it, but I'll take it. Maybe I just needed the rest.

I'm taking a pass this week.
