Daily Maintenance Weigh-In Friday May 17 2013

Morning all:

Trusting that everyone is doing well.

 Goal weight is 160.   Down to 157.3 today after travelling yet again for family emergencies. 

Am tired to the bone however and hopefully this weekend can get caught up on sleep, laundry and the usual things.

Have the best day.

149.2

Feel like I'm fighting of a bug. I'm taking my magical, voodoo virus-go-away medicine. Hopefully that will kick it.

I had the funniest sex talk with my kids yesterday. I'm the typical mom that waits until I have them in imprisoned in the car. Then, I bring up all the topics they hate. I promised not to post the whole story, but the last question practically made me pee my pants. We were talking about a certain type of sex. My daughter asked, "Mom, have you ever done that?" I looked at her and said, "Honey, I'm going to answer that by saying that I've been married for 18 years." I seriously thought my son was going to jump out of the car while it was going 50. They both kept saying "OhMyGosh, OhMyGosh..." until we reached our destination. *giggles" *snorts*

Busy, crazy day today.

You all have a fan-damn-tastic day!

Now I know why I love you. I do the SAME **** to my kids and they say the SAME thing "omg omg omg omg... mom, let's not talk about this... omg omg omg"

Hey, don't ask if you don't want to know, dudes... well, I'd tell you anyway... LOL

I know. Just made me crack up. But, I don't tell them, some hoochie middle schooler will want to play show-n-tell and that's NOT going to happen on my watch.

98.4 lbs today.  Puzzling because I had a lot of calories yesterday...about 1400, in fact.  Maybe my scale needs a new battery?  Sheesh, I don't want to be "that girl", you know, the one who looks like she's wasting away.  If anything, I'd like to look and be strong!

My arm is better so I'm going back to the climbing gym tomorrow. Between that and eating more calories, I hope to end this downward trend.

Happy Friday everybody!

I once asked my doc and nut about how long it takes calories to show up. Like if I eat 5000 calories, how long would that show on the scale. They said 2-4 days. I dunno if they were right or not. Hell, it doesn't seem to matter if I eat perfectly sometimes for a week, I don't lose. Then I'll go crazy and eat all kinds of crap and lose. *shrug* I just try try try to roll with it.

Hang in there... eat the peanut butter, woman! ;)

Thanks Candy!  That's good to know.  And yes, I am literally eating peanut butter (w/ bananas) right this very moment!

Fiona

Oh man! Peanut butter and bananas! I'm incredibly jealous... peanut butter triggers me and bananas stall me. I'm sworn off both until I hit goal... LOL! xoxo

Sitting on the flight to Newark right now, I'll be in NJ/New York for the next 5 days.

Not getting on the scale until after Sunday's race.  I'm in carb-up mode for 48 hours so I have enough juice for the ride - No sense depressing myself about weight that will be gone when I burn it on Sunday.

Just going to go to my happy place and chillax until 4am Sunday morning when I start the trek to the Gran Fondo starting line...

Happy weekend!

Tom, that's super exciting!  I'd wish you luck but I don't think you need luck.  You're totally ready for this ride! Instead, I'll say have lot's of fun!  Tell us all about it when you're done.
