January/February Weight Management Challenge

[Anelia]

I want to complain about my nutrition lately. Not only it hinders weight loss but it leads to weight gain I was invited to a lot of celebrations and going outs so I mix alcohol with sweets and fats Poor protein intake and minumim water...I keep training but today I feel wasted and the junk and alcohol mess my recovery. I intend to stop this vicious circle now starting from an hour ago

106.4
I spend all week trying to lose weight from the weekend, when I eat normally/healthy, but not strictly.
Going up north for x country skiing in a few hours, and there will be more carbs than usual this weekend. I feel like giving up the goal of 104, but since I did this last year, with a goal of 105, which turned into 104, I am not giving in yet. I've been experimenting with some different things to tweak, so I'll be back on the plan Sunday night.

111.2. Up a hair but still trending down. According to my trend chart I am losing a bit more than a half a pound a week. I am ok with that.

127.4 again - sigh...

121
I started this week at 121 and have held it there. Yay! The coming week is going to be tough, with several food events planned. Fingers crossed I can at least hold it here.

104.5 and holding.

Had to give up stair-climbing as I ended up with ball-of-foot pain (Metatarsalgia) in my right foot. Stairs are tile-on-concrete, and even with my good trail-running shoes with inserts, the pain afterwards is just not worth it. Our condo is tiled and living on a tropical island, I am usually barefoot or in flip-flops, so it's not a big surprise that adding something new to the exercise mix caused problems.

Still keeping up with 2x weekly yoga and lots of biking and swimming, so that seems to be doing the job without my having to restrict food too much.

This is a far better way of looking at this than my sighing over the same thing - thanks for the kick in the butt I know you didn't mean it that way, but you got me thinking. It is no small thing to maintain this time of the year, and I am working to actively build muscle...so I've no reason to complain. Thanks!

165.

We spent the weekend with old friends in DC (complete with too much pizza/beer) and I came home with a nasty cold....I'm ok with basically holding steady after that weekend and limited exercise/not eating terribly well after we got home. Hopefully I can kick the cold soon and get off of the soup/mac'n'cheese/few other things that sound good diet.
