    Calories: 1641 ; I’ve been involved in another challenge where I can’t drink anything but water, black coffee or tea. Can’t add any flavorings of any kind! It’s amazing how much less I eat when I know I can’t wash my food down with my favorite Coke Zero soda! I actually stayed Under Calories today, it still sucked! Just Two more days of not going into a de-caffeinated rage!

    08.20.21 weigh-in: 200.6

    I'll admit that this was a hard pill to swallow, so to speak.

    I have not ONCE gone over calories, and I carefully weigh and track every single thing that I eat and drink like it's my darn religion. I've been working out -- swimming about 1.25 miles every day this week, plus strength training and even some yoga/stretching (thanks to the GoT challenge!).

    Yeah, yeah, yeah. My brain is fully functional and I know that it's ToM and that means water retention. I also know that exercises like lap swimming and lifting weights build muscle, and that weighs more than fat. I also know that sometimes, the body just needs to take a breath and recalibrate before it starts moving again, and this isn't even a true plateau because it's just a couple of weeks. But last week, I was down to 198.4, and now I've popped back up to 200.6.

    Stress is a factor too. My kids go back to school and I head into my student teaching experience next week. I have to miss their first day of school (two 3rd graders and a kindergartner *sob*). I'm trying to finish my second Masters so that my husband and I can finally separate and move into the next chapter, and this student teaching assignment seems to be making things extra tense because it's making our pending separation very real -- and it's very sad. :cry:

    Still, while my brain knows these things, my soul feels a bit wrecked that I've been at the same weight for a couple of weeks now, even though I've stayed on track with CICO and I have been exercising diligently.

    I will persevere and next week will be a loss, I'm sure, but in the meantime, just allowing myself to feel the disappointment before I head to the pool again this afternoon, where I will hopefully swim some more laps. And I'll go ahead and strength train and stretch this morning because I know it's the right thing to do, no matter what the scale says.

    Time to tighten my ponytail and double-down.

    I rarely get time out of the house, but my spousal unit offered to watch the kids so I could go for a bike ride. I don't think he intended for me to be gone for 3 hours, but hey, if I got out more often, my rides might be shorter, yo.

    I'm a gravel rider, mostly, and I saw lots of fun stuff, from 2 unicyclists to an old-timey river baptism to lots of mud (my Cannondale LOVES mud) and even a trail washout, to which my bike (affectionately called "Black Beauty") scoffed and nearly squealed with joy as we got to play in the water as we rode through it (ok, that might have been me, but anyway). I do love my outdoors time.

    171 minutes. 25.14 miles. And I needed the time to get out of my head a bit these days and just work my body until it hurt. I did that. It's funny, because on the drive home, I realized that my approach to my favorite activities has really changed. I used to be more focused on my pace, be it rowing on the river, biking, swimming, running, etc. But now, I'm so much more focused on endurance. I'd rather ride for 25 miles more slowly than to ride for 10 quickly. I'll leave the racing for the kids. I guess I've moved to being an endurance-seeker instead. Weird.

    I'm more visually oriented, so pardon the photos. Just wanted to share some pretty shots. I hope that your weekend is going well!!! :smiley:
