July Already Monday morning weigh-in!

I can't believe it is July already!  This summer seems to be flying by.  Happily, I have this week off of work, but I have quite a long list of things I need to get done.  My staycation is more like a long chore list, LOL. 

It's going to be a scorcher this week, too!  I need to remind myself to keep drinking and exercise early in the morning, when it's cooler.  The good news is, you burn more calories exercising in the heat.  It is showing this week for me:

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week: 139.3
This week: 138.5 
Loss of 0.8 lbs this week

This is about where I want to be, so now the challenge is to stay there.  I still weigh myself every day, and track food and exercise every day to help myself stay on track.  Anybody else have tricks they use for maintenance?

Paul, thanks for riding with us on Saturday, that was fun.  I sure was tired when I got home, tho.  Running mileage this week: 16 miles on-the-dot, plus about 25 miles on the bike for the week.  Still haven't managed to get myself over 20 miles per week running in the last couple of months.  Maybe after the triathlon this weekend.  I'm starting to get very nervous...

For those of you running in Apple Valley on Wednesday morning, see you there!

 I was glad I got to ride with you. It certainly helped me get extra miles in after having company for five days. I must have ushed a bit too as I got some cramping in my hamstrings. I put in about 32 miles this past week. SO what it did for me was to put me at the lower weight number in my range. So I was 255 Monday morning. This week will really be tough as the heat is just draining on the body. I barely went outside today. I will try and get a ride in early tomorrow befre it gets too hot.

The heat is definitely killer this week.  I'm hoping the 5-mile race tomorrow is over before it gets too bad.  I may be walking some if it is as hot as it has been.  Whew!
