Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Friday 8/24

121.5. beautifuly sunny day here on the often foggy north coast. life is good.   diane

yeah i wanna know who the gremlins are that come in at night and tinker with my scale and make it go up and down a pound or two with no explaination.  we have all seen what a pound of fat looks like at a meat counter or something. so you just know it can't possibly be fat. but still annoying. but consider that a pound is a change of  .0069%. thats pretty dang small. we need to put this in perspective!  I too hyperventalate over a pound. we gotta learn to accept these varriations. they are normal.   (now watch me swear tomorrow when i am up a pound)    diane

 186.2

JUst finished a 50 minute run!  Exhausted, Sweaty, and Proud.  640 calories burned according to HRM.

Now a towel, lunch, and a shower!

Having a cookout tomorrow.  Baking buns  tonight for the maintainers and non-bariatric attendees.  Ciabatta roles for the chicken breast and pretzel rolls for the hamburgers and hot dogs.  No potatoes, but we are grilling a vegetable medley for the sides.

I have been off of OH for about a week as I have been very busy with the new school year for my own kids and through my work. I am happy to say that I am 104 this morning and all is still well.  I am continuing to increase running and have just increased my weights.  Life is beautiful.

134.8

I know where the 1.4 lbs came from. I cannot be within a mile of sweets that are easily available. I did really good on Wednesday. I stayed away from the double chocolate cake. Everytime I walked into the break room I mentally told myself, only eat what you brought. Had to remind myself several times. I did not eat a piece of cake. I was so proud of myself.

Yesterday there was another birthday celebration. I started out with the same resolve and then caved about 2 pm. 3 damn pieces of cake later I had to mentally slap myself.

Today was a better day. There was some left over cake but I didnt even look in that direction. But I did have a damn donut. Friday is donut day. Hopefully no sweets at work for a while!!

130.5 at 2:30 this morning when I jumped on the scale after a quick shower before driving to DC.

Got into DC, spent some time by the pool just hanging out. Then had a picnic in the park where there was a free concert happening. We are now finally back to my sister's apartment and things are settling down. I may venture out to go meet a friend I haven't seen in quite a while that lives here in the district for a drink.

I'll try to post on tomorrow's thread before the shenanigans begin. Have a good weekend everyone!
