May/June Weight Management Challenge

132.4

Now that I stopped worrying about a lower target weight I start loosing Then again, I've backed off on some of my gym work for the season so perhaps I am dropping extra water. I KNOW I am eating enough...

113.2 this morning...

I was 226 on Saturday. Doing great on eating. Need to work on ramping up the exercise (was very sore from moving).

[leah]

Feeling so great! I am down from 148.7 to 143.5, just 10 lbs away from my goal.

I have cut out flour, sugar and alcohol and am weighing my food to ensure portion control. I am also not eating snacks unless I need them (after a long ride, for example). Snacks have been a trigger for me because I am a major grazer.

I am now past the point of craving foods that are bad for me. For example, I used to never be able to resist eating many slices of pizza when I served it to my picky eater son. The other day we had pizza in the house and it didn't even call to me!! That being said, I am not keeping sweet treats in the house because I don't want to dig into them in a vulnerable moment.

Besides fitting into my (non-stretchy) clothes again, mostly I am excited about seeing how my cycling (especially hill climbing) improves when I am 10 lbs lighter.

I was 151 again on Saturday. I could have sworn that I'd posted it, but it's not here. Weird!

This Friday came fast...
103.8
I'm noticing some different patterns with my weight/eating, now that cycling season is in high gear for me. For the last 2 weekends, my weight has been more stable. I haven't gained 3-4 pounds over the weekends, just 1-2. I also have been taking one full rest day a week and that seems to not only help my recovery, but it stabilizes my weight. I've added more carbs back in to my diet, but I seem to know what my limit is. But, I think the thing that's helped the most is the fact that I've been going to the boot camp/circuit training classes twice a week, religiously.
