151 today - forgot to check on Friday.

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.

104.2 for me, which is up just a bit.

Rain most of the week. Biked all of 20 miles over the course of three short rides. Walked two miles a day though, even in the rain.

135. No change.

I've become quite comfortable with my no-sugar, no-grain, lots of veggies-fruits-protein way of eating, although it was very hard to change at first. I now look forward to ramping up my exercise. I did one 43-mile ride this week and one 20-miler, and I felt strong on both. I want to increase my riding to four days a week and re-focus on Pilates, which I have let fall by the wayside. That ought to kickstart losing the next five pounds.

132, which is up after a week of pretty consistent 126-128s. Thursdays tend to be hard workout days for me, and I'm now thinking that a Friday morning weigh-in is just poor timing for me. I'm going to weigh again tomorrow, when stuff hurts less, and see what happens.

I've definitely lost weight. I now have a bunch of bottoms that are too big in the waist and hips

222.0 this morning.

I've been in and out, not especially motivated, dealing with health and personal issues, and off the bike since last November or so. I'm hoping to rectify that last part soon, and to get my treadmill rebuilt so I can use it.

I am proud of this: for four mornings straight I've risen before dawn and taken my dog - also way overweight - for a 30-minute walk around our neighborhood.

I weighed today and I was 159.9
I haven't been in the 150's in a loooooooong time, so I'm thrilled!!!
Next stop 140's. It might take another 6 months, but I'm not worried. Maybe if I lose it as slowly as I have, it will FINALLY stay off this time. I've been there done that with the fast (1-2lbs a week) weight loss and it has always come back on. Maybe 1-2 lbs a month will help me keep it off for good. I'll get there eventually.

142.0 this morning, after a week in the 142.x range.

I keep going between 139 and 140. 140 for me today.

151 again this week.
