And even better - I have set up the trainer in the basement (so I have no excuses for not riding) and have raised my base mileage for run. Now to make it through Halloween and all the funsized Butterfingers calling my name. Any suggestions (other than sending the leftovers to my spouse's work)?

Up a pound this week after a peanut binge this weekend.  I have vowed to never again buy peanuts and what was left of what I had I brought to work for the snack table.  I think I ate about a pound of them on Sunday and Monday.  ughh.

 

nevergivin - 2009-10-29 2:52 AM Started at  195
1st week   191
2nd week  190.5
3rd week   189
4th week   191

Ouch!!!!!!!! I weighed in yesterday morning at 189 and today at 191, WTF ??????????

Need help....... I have logged my food all week and need help trying to dial in my diet as I am still learning. It would be most helpful to me if I can get some feedback and make some necessary adjustments. My diet goal is 1800 cals a day with a 50%prot/30%carbs/20%fat guideline set by my training program based on calculated BMI. From what I can see Im short on fat cals and a little over on my protien and carbohydate, also I think im taking in too much tablesalt as I am craving it big time. I am not binging or am I eating anything unhealthy, however I am eating white rice in place of brown because I cant stomach brown rice, I would rather eat raw fish guts! All of my workouts are loggged also,I would be thankful for any feedback!

BunnyB - 2009-10-29 7:05 AM Sorry for being so quiet this week.  I've been down with a staph infection stye in my left eye since Tuesday.  I've still been working from home, so I've been trying to stay off the computer as much as possible other than for work in order to rest my eye.

I did want to pop in with my weigh in results for the week though.  I was actually up a pound, but I really wasn't surprised since I'm on two different types of antibiotics right now for my eye.  It seems any time I have to go on medication that I have a gain.  I'll just keep sticking to my plan.  I know that pound will disappear again once I'm off the meds.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

firenze11 - 2009-10-29 12:40 PM I was delinquent last week. I'm pretty much just hovering around where I started. Last week: 140/141/130 This week: 140/140/130 I haven't been feeling well the past week. My stomach has been. . .off. I've also been experimenting with my eating. I found the first couple of weeks that counting calories was making me eat worse. I think I was getting anxious about losing and being "competitive" and sabotaging myself, plus 1500 calories just left me hungry. So I've been doing mostly "intuitive eating" and reading about it. I think I'll stick with that and make myself a guinea pig. Workouts are going really well. I'm trying to build some muscle so I've been doing a circuit training dvd and there was a bit of plyometrics in it today. Good stuff, although I think I need some more muscle before I continue. I'm nervous about hurting myself with plyo. I need to go back and read what I've missed.

Damn!  Only 1 pound again this week.  Time to pull out the big guns - some fruits/nuts to snack on at work to go along with the increased water I've been drinking and more chicken.

KathyG - 2009-10-30 2:02 PM Sorry I've been quiet lately.

I've been doing a lot of reading about weight loss and endurance training and it seems those to things are pretty hard to have work together for women.  Being a women, being 48 next week and having good body fat (~19.5-20-21%) for my age/gender making progress on dropping body fat is difficult. This article pretty much what happened to me. I'm going to change up my workouts to do more strength training and interval stuff and less long steady s/b/r. I am looking into joining a Crossfit gym and have attended a class.  I'm also have added in fasting into what I do  trying to work up to fasting 2x a week 24 hours so eat dinner then dinner the next day. I eat no sugar and gave up grains...it took some adjustment but I'm getting used to it.

I decided to ditch the scale for the month of November and see how that feels. Yesterday was a month ago I changed up my diet some and I'm comfortable with it but not seeing the results I'd like at first yes then just stopped losing weight last three weeks even with weighing and measuring everything I ate. I don't want to obsess about weight just try to eat healthy, live good, work my plan, see what happens and give it time.

I did my measurements and in a month I lost an inch on my bust, hip, low hip, and my thigh so even though weight didn't drop I lost inches.

Starting Weight/BF: 141/27
Last Week: 138/26
Today: 139/26

Ok, I'm at somewhat of a loss here...I am struggling to get below 139 lbs!  I get to 138 then bounce right back up.  I've been pretty good about measuring my food so I'm thinking it is the amount of calories I am taking in.  I know it isn't a matter of the kinds of food I eat as I am not eating any sugar or junk (chips, etc) so I guess I'll go back to the drawing board to re figure my numbers and go from there.  ERRRRG!
