Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Wednesday 1/30

Good morning. Warm here again today, but temperatures supposed to plummet this afternoon/evening and be 30 degrees colder tomorrow. I'm already ready for spring!

Still no weight today. Two more days on the steroids, then a few days for recovery and I'm back to daily weighing. Think my body is dumping fluids as the dose ramps down though, as I had to run to the necessarium about 5 times last night.

How is your week going>

Good Morning - high of 66 today - yay!! 158.4 today. Don't quite have this maintenance thing figured out. Up, down, not doing much differently. But I am really tired being back at a very demanding job and doing physical therapy 2-3 times per week. That must play a role. 

Everyone have a great hump day!

Up down up down is actually pretty normal. No-one stays at one dead-on weight. It's when there is a long term up or down pattern in the up down (like up down up up down up down up up) where you are gradually bouncing around a higher number that you need to be concerned.

You'll build your stamina back up before you know it for the job!

Thanks Mom for the feedback and encouragement!

178.2

Sleepy as heck today.  Leg cramps during the night again and we had to go spend some time in a downstairs bathroom over a tornado warning in our area.  Luckily no damage - just high winds and blown over trees.

"necessarium"  - Love that, I will have to use that.  I am glad you are dumping the fluid, I know how that feels.

You're ramping down and I am starting up on the steroids.

Tweeked my knee on last Saturday's run and it has been swelling ever since.  By Sunday evening my weight was up 7 lbs - that's a lot of inflammation! Fortunately there was no new injury I just messed with my already torn lateral meniscus. Starting 6 days of oral steroids today. Hoping to be back to running this evening - nothing too hard. 1/2 marathon is less than 2 weeks away.  Doesn't look like I will make it to 155 lbs by then like I wanted.

Today's weight is 159.4 - that's 2 down from yesterday 5 since Sunday.  I guess all this R.I.C.E.ing is helping.

We had one heck of a blizzard yesterday.  Snow and very strong winds.  We stayed home as travel on the highways was not recommended, but unfortunately I can work from home so I didn't get a day off, only a day working at home.  Its snowing a little today, but its much better because there is hardly any wind.

163.0 today.

Have a great day everyone.

Crazy windy right now! 138.1 as expected up 3lbs overnight. My sock-dents are insane.. hello water retention. Days like this I think I shouldn't weigh for a couple days till it comes off.. but then I do anyway. It should be gone in a handful of days.
