September/October weight management challenge

[indigoiis]

Traveling this week, so I won't be able to weigh in on Friday. Instead of skipping a week, I'll take today's weight: down 2 to 130 again. Last week, well, must have been that ice cream...

I will be traveling next week. Ah the bane of the working girl!

130 up 2 lbs - the liberal maintenance week needs tweaking. Although, I have to say, it's all brainwork. The mantra has been "nutritious first" in the spirit of the "eat this not that" trend; if I go to the college cafeteria, for example, I'll have the side salad with the chicken (good!) but being in a cafeteria, cannot resist the brownies. LOL. So "nutritious first" should change to "nutritious first and who lady, do you really need dessert every night???"

104.4 this morning. Finally back to normal. I was not feeling well (allergies, sinus stuff, a few of my auto-immune symptoms) during the time my weight was up and I should know this is a pattern. What's good is that during the time the weight was up, it remained stable, in that it was the same 4 days in a row. Very unusual for me. I've cut way back on the grains for the past few days. Tomorrow, though, I am leading a ride and will probably have a sandwich.

129. I'm getting very tired of seeing ~126 on the scale all week, and then seeing 129 on Friday mornings.

105.5 this morning. Lowest in awhile, thanks to having a cold and not much appetite for a week or so. At the peak of the cold, I had two days at 104.5, but that went right back up once my appetite started returning and I started eating a bit more. Have not been able to get much exercise due to feeling lousy and a bad cough, so the weight loss is probably muscle, unfortunately. Planning to get back to more exercise this week and hoping I can keep the weight creep at bay as every time it goes lower for a bit, it seems to creep back up.

320.8......really?

104.6
First day this week under 105. Except for my 2 boot camp classes this week, all I did was walk in the woods. I was supposed to ride with a friend on Wed. and she thought it was too cold (it was 50!) so she wanted to hike. While it was beautiful, even a 4 mile walk (couldn't call it a hike) doesn't burn the calories like a ride. Well, DH is going away for almost 2 weeks on Sunday, so I will concentrate on good eating and exercising.
