Daily Maintenance for Sunday June 29th

Morning every one:

Congratulations on the anniversaries!    We continue to do it.

Day 5 of the pouch test and am feeling much better about being in control of carbs. 

While I was doubtful starting this am grateful for whoever came up with it.   Getting back to basics!!!!!

103.2 lbs.  For some reason, I can't get it together to get rid of the extra pound (or two).  I think it has to do with how my rhythm for exercise and food has been in flux for the last month.  I haven't recovered from the disruptions caused by my house guests and vacations in June, not to mention general boredom with the monotony of my exercise/food plan.

Still, I'm definitely not ready to get back into a highly regimented eating/exercise style because that feels a bit punitive right now.  Since I'm at the low end of my BMI spectrum, I won't worry about it too much for the time being.

I keep telling myself I'm just exploring new ways to maintain, but a part of me wonders (worries?) that I'm just making excuses.  After all, I'd rather not turn into a statistic for regain.

So that's where my head's at, folks.  Just trying to keep things honest.  Have a good one, all!

Hi All,

Just checkin' in...  I am here, and just doing a major cut back at this point...  drinking more water...  being more active.

My scales should be here around my birthday, July 12th!!  How is that for timing?!

Have a great day,

Cindy

Haven't weighed in over a week but my pants are loose so I decided to weigh today. 123 right on target and as expected.

Yesterday I did my first full real triathlon since my accident. (Did a shorter Xterra one earlier but not really a mountain biker so it doesn't count. LOL) I came close to my swim time goal (swims are iffy because the course can't be exact), beat my T1 time goal, KILLED my bike time goal even though it was windy, killed my T2 goal but realized I forgot my Garmin and decided to go back for it -- still beat my T2 time goal as it was only about 10 yards of backtracking, was pretty close on my run time goal as well and beat not only my overall time goal but my dream time goal thanks to my great bike time!

So I am super stoked and happy and that's even before I realized I came in 4th in my age group! Now there was a bit of a gap between 2nd and 3rd and light attendance this year but I think even if more people had shown up, I would have still finished MOP just as I did here - 4th out of 8. It just would have been maybe 6th out of 12th or something. Still would have been stoked as I used to be one of those "next to last" finishers and it's nice to have moved up and to feel more consistent in my performances.

good morning all.  trying to get back on track !
