Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Thursday 10/25

Good morning!

Today's weight 140.2. wonder if it will stick this time?

I did NOT want to get up this morning. No particular reason: don't feel sick, got enough sleep...but I just wanted to stay snug in my bed. Just a seriously bad case of lazy, I think! Instead here I sit at my desk, sipping on a frosty dark-chocolate blueberry protein shake (which makes up for being upright and dressed a little bit I guess). So off to work with me!

Hope it's a great day for all of you!

132.0

Way too much sodium over the last couple of days. My left ankle was about 5 times its normal size last night so I knew I would see it on the scales this am. Need to hit the water HARD today and cut out the sodium!!

Happy Thursday!!

184.2

Hope this downward trend with exercise means the muffin top is training!

Today is one of those wonderfully chilly fall mornings where I just want to be curled up in bed until about brunch, then take a steaming cup of coffee out on the patio with my laptop and write.

167.0 - now that's a bit better! Bought some size 8 jeans last weekend! Well they were at GAP but still that means a size 10 nearly everywhere else. Tried on those skinny jeans that are all over the place this fall and OMG hilarious - I just do not have the body shape for those - the right size for the legs ends up with a gaping waist, oh well, I had to try.

Went to a VIPink event put on at our neighborhood golf club by the local hospital. I have been avoiding all the Pinktober stuff since it is a bit emotional for me having my 1 year breast cancer anniversary this month.  A little strange because I had used nearly all of the services that were represented there in the last year and a half.  Bariatric surgery - check, breast imaging - check, Oncology Center - check, starting an exercise program - check I could have nearly been a poster child for the event. I did get some plastic surgeons namesfor consultations though and some info on breast cancer support groups/volunteering (which I haven't take part in yet) so the night wasn't a complete wash.

Great spin class yesterday - as always. Husband and I are going to start 1/2 marathon training for a race in February.

I hear you on the skinny jeans. I still can't wear those. Heck I was a size 8 (I always wear boot cut jeans) before I could get out of wide-calf boots. Still have trouble with knee socks.

I can tell you as a fellow breast cancer survivor that some of those scars stay with you. I still get physically ill (intestinal symptoms) before my annual mammogram.

Good luck with the half marathon training!

Thanks Mom!

134.5 today.  Have a runny nose and think I've caught a cold somewhere.  Ugh.

171.8
Down a bit today. Had a good work out yesterday and have a cardio day planned for this afternoon. Want to get in between 5 and 6 miles on the elliptical. Cool, cloudy and drizzly here today. Enjoying wearing my new sweaters. I put on a brand new medium this morning - should have bought a small. DRAT! Guess I can exchange it.

HA!  Love it.

Congrats on the SMALL!

Thanks!
