September/October weight loss challenge

[Catrin]

135.4....sigh

I think this maddening plateau is due for two reasons: too many carbs on non-ride days, and a decrease in my long rides. Recently assorted schedule problems have decreased my number of road rides. I still prefer the trails to the road, but if I don't have time to fit in the number of rides that I KNOW I need, I need to find some other way of getting in that cardio work.

I feel like a fat slug, though I know I am not any more...part of this is also my internal self image.

143. It's just a pound, but it's a pound in the right direction.

I haven't done a single thing remotely athletic since Sunday's Muddy Buddy, though. I gave myself permission to take September off/easy after a long hard year of PBP training. It feels incredibly decadent to do nearly nothing, but I think it's a good mental break, and my left knee sure needs the rest. I have a picnic -oriented bike ride (think: 2 five year olds along for the ride, and you'll get an idea of the pace ) planned for tomorrow and a trail walk on Sunday.

117.4
Same zone as the last few weeks, but much better than 118-119 from Sunday until yesterday.

134.8. Just glad I didn't gain this week... cooler weather equals baking for me. Whipped up a loaf of cinnamon bread, which, thankfully, DH demolished after I had just a single slice.

188.8...gained about 3 lbs since last week.

I was stuck in a business conference in Puerto Rico all week...eating garbage because the food was terrible and not exercising. I'm hoping to get it back off this next week. I've really got to buckle down on my carb eating.
