Fall/winter weight management thread

Back up this morning, but I did eat too much yesterday and wound up drinking 3 glasses of wine which is 2 more glasses than normal for me. Then came home and vegetated on a "Once Upon a Time" marathon. Back to normal today, and I will hold off on the port and hot buttered rum until the scale gets back to where it should be. It is supposed to be warmer for a bit anyway. Rowed 10k meters this morning as part of my team challenge and also part of my million meter personal rowing challenge.

Shootingstar, I am sorry to read about your father, sending prayers and warm thoughts/hugs your way. Take care of yourself!

Well, I feel lucky I only gained a pound from Thanksgiving. I had a little of everything, but maybe too many goat cheese/pear dumpling like thingy appetizers my DIL brought. Went to an hour and a half boot camp class this morning, so I feel like I did my part. Going x country skiing tomorrow; I am excited beyond belief, but I know that like with longer, hard rides, it makes me ravenous. The food isn't available at the lodge, so we'll bring lunch, instead of stopping on the way home, at an excellent Italian deli. I am going out tomorrow night, though.
Sunday will be warm enough to ride. The roads will probably still be cruddy, but I need to be testing out the changes DH just made on my saddle on the new bike. Normally, I wouldn't take it out under these conditions, but I cannot wait.
For the first time ever, I had my bike and my x country skis sitting in the entry way at the same time, as DH was working on the bike there, and I had just brought the skis up from the storage closet for tomorrow. It makes me happy!
Thinking of you, Shooting Star.

Sounds fun Crankin, you have your choice :-) I rowed today, tomorrow I've my comp KB training, Sunday will row another 10k or so. I think that I backed off a bit too much from my non-KB conditioning/endurance work since I had to give up riding and running. Hopefully the knee will eventually allow me to get back to a little trail running but it seems fine with rowing!

Much happier today, my weight plummeted back to where it should be. Feeling good that I've returned to rowing, now I need to make certain that my combination of kettlebell sport training and rowing doesn't cross that over-training line. My coach is vigilant on that however, much more than my last coach. Pretty amazing how he can just glance at how I am moving, even if I think I am moving fine, and will change my workout immediatly if he thinks my body needs to back off. Or vice-versa His method works, I've come MUCH further since I started working with him in Feb than I once thought even possible.
