Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Tuesday 1/8

Good morning!

Today's weight: 135.6

In other news, my bike is in! I will be picking it up after work. It's a good quality bike, but not a racing bike or anything like that. Just a hybrid for riding on roads and gravel trails. Looks a little old-fashioned because I have to sit somewhat upright, but it has suspension on the seat post and the front forks. So excited. I'll post a picture tomorrow if I can pick it up while there's still enough light to get a good one. First time I've ever had a bike-shop quality bike and I am stoked.

121.8

Stressed, depressed and in no mood to eat. Oh well.

I wish I reacted to stress this way. Dangit.

Sorry you are stressed.

Ooooh, new bike!  I"m shopping too, hope to get a new one soon so I can break it in indoors before the season starts here... Just got invited to join a team for the MS150 in June, so I need to step up my training.

171.2 again

What I said I would do yesterday: Consume 1200c, Burn 600c

What I did yesterday: Consumed 1360c, burned 800c (Cycling - Power Intervals)

What I will do today: Consume 1200c, burn 1200c - long ride (120min Endurance Miles) tonight

 

179.1 this morning

So happy your bike is in Mom! It's so much fun to get something new that you really have wanted. Add to that the fact that the bike will be one more healthy thing you do for yourself and enjoy, makes it so cool!!

I'm tired this morning. My 14 year had a meltdown last night just as I was going to bed, as she's overwhelmed by her upcoming finals. Needless to say, I didn't get to bed until much later. I hate to see her like that. She was having trouble finding anything positive about herself. I've been there and my heart ached for her. DH and I were able to help her turn things around and come up with a plan. She was still sleeping when I lift this morning, so hoping she'll wake up feeling better. Without being drugged by food, I was able to stay calm and as objective as possible, and be fully present for her.

Ugh. My 14 yo boy is freaking over finals right now too. It's his first time going through them. With his other stress added in, it's not fun at my house right now.

We will survive this.

Yes we will!   She's feeling better now, and has things under better control.  We ended up letting her stay home today and re-group, and I think it did her a world of good.  I shudder to think about when the younger one gets to this age.  I fear she will be more of a handful, in a different way, and I'll be close to retirement age at that point! LOL  Oh well, one day at a time! 

123.5. things are creeping up. not liking this much. trying to eat more veggies.  oh well, stay calm and get with the program. hubby keeps peanuts around and he can get away with eating them. not me.  phooey.   diane

Diane, do you have a red line?  A weight that if you hit it, you would consider cutting back in a significant way, or follow a plan you already have, or something?  Just curious.  Your weight is not high and I am sure you are already being more aware, but I am just curious...

yeah i think my danger weight is 125 which sounds like sort of a joke because i would have committed highway robbery most of my adult like to weigh 20 lbs more than that instead of what i did, but thats how i always set my six month successive goals - to weight 125 or less. d
