March/April Weight Management Challenge

Up! to 147.0 -- go go gadget salt shaker, I'm guessing.

This month's issue of Bicycling has some interesting worksheets about bodyfat percentage and what that does to your race weight. Which is something I hadn't thought about for a few years, and maybe my ultimate goal of 120 lb is going to be freakishly hard if my *lean* weight has now gone up to 109. Hooray, Crossfit?

151 on the nose, again. Weird, actually. I even made my husband weigh himself to make sure the sale was working. It's so incredibly rare that I weigh the exact same thing this many weeks in a row!

Oh, and this is with the new hard cast. It'll stay on for the next few weigh-ins, so I'll get a consistent read going forward.

104.6
Same pattern every week. Between 105 and 104 on Friday, weekend comes, weight goes up to 106.? or a bit more by Sunday night, from what I consider to be "normal person's eating." The rest of the week, it goes down.
I am happy with my maintenance plan. Before, I'd be close to 110 by the end of the weekend.
Passover starts tonight. Usually, I lose weight during Passover, from lack of eating bread and lots of fruits and veggies. This year, the dietary restrictions won' be much different from my normal eating. I am a bit worried about the high glycemic matzah, but, hey, it's only a week.

104.2

I have been traveling yet still weighing myself everyday in my experiment with tracking moving averages and doing a trend analysis. I trended up all week, which is not a surprise as I have had little exercise and lots to eat. The last three days I cut down the amount of food so I can nip the trending up in the bud.

New diet is working. Doctor agrees I need to fire nutritionist.

114 this morning

134.2 this morning.

I think that I am changing my target weight, for now, to 134. I am working to build muscle and am also in a body-fat loss challenge...and I am not supposed to be weighing right now anyway. However, I can't help it

I will be in on the next challenge, but more for accountability than actual loss. I either won't pick a target, or approach it from a maintenance perspective. I HAVE gained close to a pound since starting the extra calories - but is that from eating more or from building muscle? The bod-pod evaluation in a few weeks will show if I've lost body fat (crossing all fingers and toes on this one). Then again, less than a pound increase can be water weight...

Back to 145.0

But I hit a new personal record on my clean lift: 75lb! Woot!
