March/April weight loss challenge

[stardreamer]

No change for me this week. But, on a positive note...I have ridden 102 miles this week. It feels good to get back out on the road instead of a trainer.

229...argh.

In my defense, I've been off all training for two weeks due to a minor car accident which resulted in whiplash and soreness/stiffness. My GP and my chiropractor concurred with me resting my neck for a bit or I could turn a minor injury into a major injury, so I've been out of the pool and off the bike for two weeks.

Until yesterday. I swam 11 laps, but it took me 25 minutes (550 yds), and my neck was tight afterward. So it looks like a few more days off for me.

Kacie - wow, great improvement! And you must be tall - you look much smaller than I would at 159 lbs. I think you look great!


I could not weigh today as I had to leave home before there was any daylight and I didn't want to wake my huband by turning on the light (our scale is in our bedroom). I'll weigh in tomorrow morning instead.

Change mine to 145 and that is before my day's exercise. I will take what I can get...

[martinkap]

150 lbs.

I met up with sport nutritionist the first time this week. Interesting insights - I am trying to follow her eating schedule now.

Thanks to all the education Triskie has done on here, I also had an OGTT test done and waiting for the results together with my thyriod TSH and free T3 and free T4 done. My Anti-TP are through the roof.

In midst of this, I am running/biking my FIRST duathlon on Sunday. The first .3 of mile of run/bike/run is up the hill (4% incline). It is going to be tough but I am looking forward to it.

I guess, what I am trying to say in this long rant is: I am participating in the 'Weight loss challenges' for more than a year and half. I lost 20 lbs, I became aware of what I eat and how it affects me. I learned that my 'hating' relationship with sugar and carbs is not just me trying to be weird but probably is a consequence of my real issues (again, thanks TRISKIE). You guys taught me so much about my Hashimoto disease, about nutrition and metabolic processes that I (for the first time in my life) feel in control of my body.

I am 38 years old and feel in the best shape in my life. 2 years ago I was 20 lbs more. 1 year ago I had an ovarian cancer surgery. In 2 days, I am running/biking my first duathlon. Even though I am going to finish below the 50% percentile, in my mind, I am already a winner.

THANK YOU ALL!
