Thursday weigh-in

Last week 126.8
Today 127.8

It could have been worse - I was 129.8 a couple of days ago. I had my long bike ride on the week-end and was happy I finished in the alloted time. Unfortunately I figured it gave me a license to eat whatever I wanted the day before, the day of, and the day after the ride. The scale proved me wrong. I guess it was wishful thinking.

I'm looking at how well some people in this group are doing even with many stressors happening in their lives and I have no excuses. You guys are awesome! Not long ago I was at 125. I need to focus!

@cossmoss15, congratulations on finishing your ride in the allotted time and for getting back to basics once you realized that one long bike ride wasn't going to burn ALL of your indulgent eating calories! It's only a pound and like you said, it could have been worse!

And I agree with you 100% on how inspiring some team mates are that have major stressors in their lives right now and are still managing to lose or (virtually) maintain on the scales!

Can’t remember where I’m up to with my daily challenge but basically it is all yes’ for the last three days (logging / calorie goal / exercise). I’ve managed a run each day, except today which is a rest day but I went out for a 7k stroll this evening. I plan to get some more miles under my belt over the next three days and get a couple of resistance sessions in too. I’m finding this month harder than last month but I did try my wedding gown on yesterday and it now ALMOST fits. Just a little more off the hips......😀

@Tracie_Lord, your adherence to your calorie goal on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday must have been your saving grace. Just goes to show that it can all balance itself out over the course of the week.

[/quote]@Caronell, well that's inspiring....to have your dress almost fit!! The drop on the scales will slow down this second month for you, so it is good to have some non scale goals, like your running and your resistance workouts, to keep the focus on positives!! You are doing so well, Carrie!![/quote]

@HASWLRS Thank you, you are always so thoughtful with your feedback and encouragement! Although my losses seem to be small this month, my shape continues to change. In the last two weeks I’ve had many complements about “looking really well” and “wow, are you just back from holiday?”. Friends clearly can’t quite put their finger on it because it’s not just shape change, it’s my brighter skin (so I’ve stopped wearing makeup), my increased energy is increased and my improved mood. I’m convinced it’s exercise (and three months of no “middle class drinking”) that accounts for much of this and it’s helping to keep me focused when the pin on the scale refuses to budge 🤣. I don’t think I’ll add much to the TBBT team result this month but I’m going to keep trying 💃🏼
