Fall/winter weight management thread

New rule. Every time someone pisses me off at work, I will get up and go for a walk.

This should significantly increase the amount of walking I do on weekdays.

I just walked down the stairs to the first floor and then back up to the fourth floor where my office is.

Made me LOL. If I tried that I'd be away from my desk more than I'm here.

So last week, my weight stayed in the 107.5 range most days and got to 106.8 on Saturday, even after going out on Friday night. I went to a conference Saturday and sat all day and then went to friends for dinner. Boom, Sunday I weighed 108.8. We went on a hilly 4 mile hike, so it's down a pound today. I should have ridden, but like NY said, it was warm enough, but with a wind chill.
Doubling down on exercise this week, as well as eating.

Yeah my weight continues to bounce around. Thursday - no exercise, did not want to walk to the gym in cold rain. Friday - got home too late from work to go to the gym before it closed; too depressed to eat much. Saturday - late lunch (which I'm pretty sure was chock full o'salt) at bike club volunteer party at a Mexican restaurant, then ate too much for dinner (really hungry from not eating enough on Friday). Sunday - bike ride, but too much coasting and soft pedaling because I was riding sweep, then had hot chocolate and a muffin after the ride. Oh, and hormone fluctuations throughout. I guess the good news is that I've kept things under 146 lbs, the bad news is that it is going to be INSANELY COLD here for the next couple of days so I will not be getting outside for exercise.

How is everyone else doing?
My weight has not stayed as low as I want it to. Seen 106 once this week. More 108. I've ridden 3 times, hiked, boot camp.

I actually broke 131 yesterday morning First time in a LONG time, but I was 3 pounds lower this morning so it was due to eating something I shouldn't have this weekend. I've learned that if I cheat with foods I KNOW I am sensitive to that this happens. So back to strict Paleo - which frankly isn't a problem for me - but I've become a little lax recently at various events away from home. I do know better, and that sudden gain isn't the only symptom of it. I am susceptible to meatballs and those lovely sauces with unknown ingredients that are probably processed.

Lots of kettlebell training, indoor rowing and Matrix step mill as my knee tolerates. Love the indoor rowing, the step mill is the only other machine I can tolerate - but I've got to be vigilant with my knee where that is concerned. Rowing machine is great for endurance and that hip drive that I need for my sport training. Starting a 1 million meter rowing challenge from my coach (621 miles), that will certainly help me over the winter!
