    I won't. I guess it was a break from eating less than I want to eat. I'll go back to eating less again.

    Oddly, I road 457 miles in September on my bike, hauling the bike around and cramming the riding in with several trips. I think that the hunger from the workouts contributed to overeating.

    Never heard of it. I'll try to track the book down.

    EDIT: just bought it on Amazon. It should be interesting reading.

    Alright - time to pay the piper...

    I just got back from 3 weeks on the road, traveling 5 of the last 4 weeks and I admit that I've let my nutrition slip a bit recently. Top that with it being TOM and you get a lovely weight of 154. Ouch. I knew it would be up based on how my pants felt late last week so this is no daily 'blip' or anything. October will be a month of recovery and my goal remains the same. I have one more week of travel coming up, but I still intend to get back to 148 or so by the end of the month. This is, of course, assuming a lot of this is water weight from the long flight and monthly hormonal fluctuations.

    It isn't Friday, but this morning I found myself to be at the smallest weight since I was something like 20 years old - 128 even - I am 52 now. I am also getting stronger and starting to look more toned - yey Paleo and functional training!

    The same. I know this isn't bad, but my body seems to be going through some kind of change. I've been hungry a lot and I have to think about how to kick start my metabolism or do something differently. I ran one day this week, but from the way my body felt after, not sure if I'm ready to start regularly again. Being below 105 gives me a little leeway to eat a little more liberally.

    So, I figured out why last week was up - Aunt Flo. Had a big drop this week after a week of reduced calories and whole foods eating.

    128 today.

    Now on to Maintenance for the next two weeks, hopefully that will remain between 128-133 so my body can get used to the new weight. Amazingly, I have not had too many issues with cravings since I am eating everything very plain-jane although today is a big bake sale at work. Watch out!
    I can do five more miles.

    126.5 today. 123.5 earlier this week. Can someone explain to me why, without fail, I am heavier on Fridays than I am earlier in the week? I don't mind the number, but I sure would like to understand the science.

    114.2 today

    I am always heavier on Fridays, and Mondays are normally my lightest, but I think that's because I'm usually out riding and very active all weekend, while during the week I squeeze in what exercise I can

    Also I'm amazed by how much a glass of water can make a difference in your weight... so perhaps you're well hydrated by the end of the week?

    Traveling and not exercising consistently has put me up 3 lbs in the last two weeks. Darn it! I was *this close* to Catrin!

    107.0 this morning. I got lucky and lost my appetite for two days with a cold -- otherwise I had been 108 earlier in the week and was NOT happy about that at all. Hopefully now that my appetite is coming back I won't swing right back up to the higher weight. I would still very much like to be < 105 again (as I was for the past 10 years or so), but it seems to be just about impossible to get there again. I am blaming hormones!

    LOL Tulip I have the idea that I am a lot shorter than you are...but that isn't hard as I am pretty short. If it makes you feel better, I was 129.8 this morning...darn it.

    I've noticed that my weight is always when I've had a protein shake the day before, so I am thinking that there is something in it that causes me to retain water. Either that or it is the hard workout that is still causing me to retain a bit (or both). Thinking about taking some bone broth afterwards rather than the processed protein shake and see what that is like. I need SOMETHING though, especially for the group training sessions.

    I wonder if I am not eating enough before/after bootcamp.
