The best laid plans of mice and men.

Down 1 to 162.  There is a chance I could meet this months goal...WooHoo!

Great job Gus and Paul.

jsno I get the point...

start - 206.5  Goal 200
week 1 - 205.0
week 2 - vacation
week 3 - 205.4
I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed considering I was on vacation for over a week and didn't get the chance to exercise and ate out every meal.   I only gained about half a pound.  But I thought I was doing pretty good and was hoping to at least maintain my weight.  I didn't over eat and skipped desert most of the time, which is good for me whether or not I’m on vacation.  I didn’t get in my workouts but we were pretty active the entire time.  The problem is that now I only have 9 days to reach my goal and five pounds in 9 days isn't good weight loss.  I hate missing my goals.  All I can do is watch what I eat and exercise and hope for the best.  Maybe I will start logging what I eat.  Maybe I'll find something there that will help.

Question for you folks.  My run Monday night was horrible.  Yes, I missed 10 days while on vacation but I've missed longer and haven't felt this bad and been unable to complete the run.  I couldn't even complete a mile without taking a walk break.  I felt winded and wiped out.  Could it be that I was at lower elevation for the last week or so?  I thought it would take longer to adjust to the elevation.  My swim last night wasn't as bad but I could still tell I wasn't up to par.  A few weeks ago I swam several laps without a break and I haven't been able to do that lately.  Any ideas?

only lost 1/2 lb this week.

not moving enough!

171.5 this week.  I think I forgot to weigh in last week...oops.

I am thinking it is the change of altitude more then anything.  A few days and you will be back to normal.

Well Leah,  To tell you the truth it is all about attitude.
