May/June Weight Management Challenge

104.6
I've been feeling a bit off since Wednesday. Yesterday, it got worse, started having cravings for carbs. Woke up this morning, ate and then proceeded to not only spend extra time in the bathroom, but started a queasy feeling that happens about once every 5 years... diarrhea, following by throwing up. Thankfully, the second one didn't happen, because last time it did, I was still teaching and I had to run out of my class and I spent about 30 minutes laying on the woman's room floor, thinking I was going to die there! I left early for my client, went to to the drug store and bought Pepto, as I had none in the house. I felt horrible all morning, better now, but not great.
Ach, I have friends coming for dinner and am leading a ride tomorrow.
But, I bet I've lost weight.

I'm still stuck at 226. Been eating very well, and exercising well. Not many carbs, lots of salad, lots of lean protein. Getting frustrated

139. Hmmm back down 1#

116.4 before the 32 mile ride, 115.4 after, but I was probably dehydrated, so I'll stick with the first number.

Same thing happens to me about as often. Feel better soon!

Stuck back at 134ish again...but I have been falling back into old habits (not eating quite enough) but that will change next week. I am not starving myself, just so much going on that it is hard to eat properly and the budget is extremely tight this week. All of this will improve in another week

Amazing how my weight always springs up just a bit when my calories start dropping even a little and they don't have to drop very far from my target for this to happen. I still think some of this is fluid retention from hard efforts and I've learned the only way to take care of it is to take two full rest days from all exercise and my weight drops at least 2 pounds. I don't normally take off two real rest days in a row...

Crankin, I hope you are feeling better now!

128 Friday morning. I saw 126 earlier this week, and 130 this morning. The variability is driving me somewhat crazy.

We'll see what happens this week. Am seeing a bunch of old/out of town friends for meetings the next three days so there will be much revelry....

I've a hard workout tonight, so am weighing in today to avoid the fluid retention tomorrow

I've noticed my weight is staying more stable over the course of a full week. It still goes up over the weekends, but not as much. I wonder if it's because I've switched my rest day to Tuesdays, when i really rest, and there have been a few weeks I've actually taken 2 full days off.

I weighed myself last night after a long swim and was 124.5. This morning I was 127.5. I think there's something to this fluid retention thing!

I'm not sure which number is my "real" number for reporting purposes...though I do like the look of that 124.5

I know the feeling. Some of us are just not meant to be thin. Seriously, no matter how hard I try I can't bust 200 anymore.
