September/October weight management challenge

131.6. Way wrong direction!

Same here - 131. But it was expected, since I went to a conference and couldn't avoid the food (I just can't. For some reason, free means hoard.)

But still it's a healthy BMI and that is my main concern. Because of the conference (I commuted rather than staying at the hotel) I did not run or ride for three days.

Just trying to find a good balance of eating. I find when I do the hoarding (chipmunk-style gathering of whatever is available - shoving it in) I have a sort of addict no-consequences thing going on in my cavewoman brain. My logical brain says, that food makes you feel yucky and listless and cavewoman brain says MUAUAAARRGHHLAlaaaa arg. arg. nom.

I want to eat good, healthy foods that fuel my outdoors pursuits. I don't want to be sitting in my cube fighting the urge to go buy a box of poptarts.

For the most part, I do pretty well. But take me out of my protective arena and it's no holds barred.

p.s. hang in there Shelley. Your pursuit is on a level unimaginable to me and I am rooting for you.

143 even. PMS bloat, boo!

105.5 again. Very happy with that as I had my appetite back after a bad cold so definitely ate more than the previous week -- but I exercised more too. No running, just too freakin' hot, but plenty of biking and yoga.

On travel this week, so I weighed in when I got home tonight. 125.5.

108. Still too high but not the wrong direction.

128.8 this morning! I am pretty happy that my weight is staying below 130 for now, hopefully I can keep it there. Prior to my "going Primal/Paleo" my weight would fluctuate up to 5-6 pounds over the course of a day between morning and evening - these days it is fluctuating 2 pounds or less. I am happy with that. It is getting close to 3 months since my adopting the Primal/Paleo lifestyle and so far so good! I've not lost a LOT of weight - I no longer have a lot to lose - but I am starting to tell the difference in my waist and how things are fitting.

My over-all goal is 125, but really my primary concern these days is body composition. This is the time of year I start focusing more on building strength and between that and the high intensity training I really don't care where my weight goes - as long as it doesn't go up...
