January/February weight management challenge

[Crankin]

Trisk, I kind of do what you describe, because I know how my body works, after all of these years. I weigh in the AM, right when I get up. I know if I weigh myself even right after I've eaten breakfast or, ah spent time in the bathroom, I will be 1-2 lbs. up and that is normal for me. I do look for patterns, and this is why I decided to start doing something differently, as the pattern I saw wasn't good! I don't want to gain 5 lbs. every winter.
I do weigh myself everyday, because when I don't, it seems to get away from me. I know that it will be higher after the weekend, due to either going out, or a long, hard ride/ski, or both.
OK, going out to run/walk. Three types of exercise in a day is a lot for me, but the first 2 were not really strenuous.

On the up side, I did go for my first bike ride since the surgery this morning. I only went seven miles, and they were slow, but it was nice. My body is so no saddle-ready, though. I look forward to getting back in the routine of riding.

Considering that you've been unable to exercise due to your recovery, I'd say you're doing well. Sometimes you just have to focus on getting healthy again.

Congrats on your first post-op bike ride!!

Congrats on your ride, Roxy.
Some of my rides are about 7.8 miles, when I go and do errands in town... it all counts.

Congratulations, Roxy!!! So glad you're on the bike. You know the drill - build up slowly and carefully and above all avoid injuring yourself!

Nuts, back to 136.4.

I know it's harder to lose weight at 61 than it was at 21, but really. I've revamped my diet and exercise plan to include some regular kettlebell and hand weight sessions... not something I enjoy but worth trying. Plus, I've decided a pair of those new LG Neo Power bibs would be a good reward if I can get in the 120s before my first spring bike trip!

Ugh. Not posting this week. My appetite for sugary carb-laden foods has come back with a vengeance.

Yep, that's about my typical errand ride. The nice thing about Belize, I do a ride like this nearly every day. The downside: that is often the only riding I do. There aren't a lot of places to ride down here, so it's hard to get a lot of mileage in. That's part of the reason I run as well as ride, just to get some real cardio in. Since there aren't any real hills here, it's hard to get cardio from riding alone.

So I did not post weight last week...well cuz whenever I do this challenge I gain weight. I did weigh today..126, still not good but not up!

I've been dieting since Jan 6 and trying to exercise (was on a role and had a setback) and all I lost was 1 measly pound. 109 for me this week. Discouraging because I thought I was eating well and exercising. Apparently it was't enough.
