Give it up for Columbus--it's Monday weigh-in time!

I'm not gonna be mad at myself or suffer recriminations or regrets.  I had a great time camping with friends this weekend, drank way too much wine, ate bread and pastries, and consequently gained weight (again.)   I also ate birthday cake and ice cream last night.  Funny how these things go together with gaining weight, isn't it?

But I also rode my bike on Saturday from the campground, and then got up and ran 6.5 miles on Sunday morning.  So I didn't give up all my good habits. 

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week:  138.8
This week: 140.8
This week:  gain of 2 lbs

   Yep we are now in the "learning" phase of our journey. We need to find how to live "with" food and balance how our increased and varied intake can be checked and balanced out with increased activity. We live in a "range" of weight, not a single number, however be ever vigilant that the "range" isn't increasing.
    I am struggleing big time with this issue, but I am not going to roll over and ignore my responsibilities to myself.

Happy Leif Erikson Day!  (I prefer to celebrate Leif seeing as he really came here first :) 

I had a pretty big loss of 5 pounds last week so the scale wasn't so generous this morning. 

Starting weight:  303
Last week:  256
This week: 254.5
Loss:  1.5 pounds
BMI: FINALLY UNDER 40!!!  I'm no longer morbidly obese!  

Slowing down here.  Yes, it's totally me- sampling more little bites of this and that and haven't been able to get really regular about exercise.  Still in a downward trend so I'm happy, but still wanting to be as close to 100% as I can during this stage and maximize my loss.This is a 2 week change- didn't get weighed in last week.


Starting/Highest Weight: 313
