Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Saturday 1/26

Good morning. Temps above freezing this afternoon here, hooray! Only a few degrees, but you take what you can get. By Tuesday a heat wave in the low 50's. To be fair, it's not that it has been so very cold this year, as it is that last year it didn't seem like we had a winter at all so I got spoiled.

No weight today, still on the prednisone. Today the dose starts ramping down for 6 days.

And now I'm gong back to bed. It's actually 3:30 AM here, but my body had been uncooperative all night.

G'mornin' Mom.

172.4 today.  

Off to Las Vegas in a few hours to begin an annual "hell week" at our biggest marketing event of the year. Starting this evening, for 5 days,  every single breakfast, lunch, dinner and coffee break will be in the service of entertaining our clients and prospects. Monday night we're throwing our annual "Customer appreciation" dinner party and we have 150 RSVPs coming. 11 years ago we did this party for the first time, and my staff and i (3 of us) out-numbered the customers (exactly 1).  

It should be interesting, to say the least! This year I will spend less time obsessing on the food and more time on the customers!

Good news is the temps are 60 degrees warmer than here, and I might be able to rent a bike for the day tomorrow and get out for some serious exercise.

135.7 today, still keeping my cals lower since the Holiday/vacation puff-up, 1200-1400 vs. my maint range 1600-1800, though when I was eating in that range I was still very very slowly losing, so not entirely sure if I need to go more like 1800-2000. Baby steps if I pu**** that high on a regular basis.. 

Trying to see what I may look like a little lower BF (dream goal, picked out of thin air- 21-22%) but waffling on it. On one hand, I love that my belly is finally getting really flat with the last couple lbs off.. on the other- I keep catching myself and wondering if I look too lean (husband is my back-up eyes, and he says I'm lean, but not spooky-lean, and he sees me nekkid..) BF% is now averaging in the low 24's-mid 23% per the scale.. time for a BodPod & RMR test soon.

Hmmm. No worries, if I decide to stop, I know how- just running a bit of an experiment on myself I guess.

174.4

Morning all!  Feeling much better today!  I got back from the Doctor yesterday, most likely just Viral gastroenteritis.  Honestly, I felt worse than I did after my surgeries.  Chills, diarrhea, felt like my insides were all in knots.  If I was not so careful about my water I would have been badly dehydrated.

My fever broke last night and I am working more normally now.  Just gonna continue taking it easy so I don't cause a relapse.  

Ugh. Hope you get better quickly!

I seem to have lost my voice. My throat isn't sore so I am not quite sure what this is about.  I do feel a little under the weather I guess.

163.2 today.  Same as yesterday.

Keep well everyone.  There is a lot of flu and cold going around.

Mom, you have inspired me.  I HAVE been keeping track of calories on My Fitness Pal but have slacked for the past two days.  I NEED to be accountable  and so back I go. 

Lost the two pounds so am at  back at 152.  7 pounds below goal.   I feel good at this weight. 

Have a good one everyone.

106 even today.  This is a tiny bit high, but I am at my normal place for my cycle, so not too concerned, just keeping an eye on things.  It was 106 yesterday too but I am not changing anything unless there is a sharp upswing or the weight doesn't come down in anther one to two weeks.  I am sure all is actually fine.
