Bearchested Friday PW: 191.2 CW: 190 LTD: 17 Work schedule was crazy this week with early meetings and work events, so I didn't get to train as much but kept my diet in check.

Bearchested Friday PW: 192.6 CW: 191.2 LTD: 15.8 Sorry for the delay, I didn't get back from my trip until yesterday morning. I'm pretty proud of this, as my diet wasn't typical due to traveling, but I limited alcohol and exercised all three days I was gone.

Bearchested Friday PW: 192.6 CW: 192.6 LTD: 14.4 It was my birthday last week but I was too busy with work to do much celebrating. I indulged over the weekend (also too much Easter candy) and then went on a work trip. I did well with my diet but drank alcohol during the work dinners and happy hours (I've mostly cut out…

I'm only partway through, but it's one of the best self-improvement books I've read. I also subscribe to the author's weekly emails which are a quick dose of additional insight.

Thanks!

Bearchested Friday PW: 194.2 CW: 193.6 LTD: 13.4 My weight ticked up this week after the long ride on Saturday, likely due to the excess carbs and water. I did much better than previous rides with having a plan on how much I'd eat at each stop to ensure I was getting enough fuel and to regulate cravings after the ride.…

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! It's called Just Ride for a Just Cause, and it supports victims of human trafficking. https://www.justrideforajustcause.org/

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.2 CW: 194.2 LTD: 12.8 I've been focusing on reducing added sugar and eliminating alcohol unless I'm in a social setting. I've also recommited to not eating after 8:30pm, when I tend to snack mindlessly. I'm going on a 60 mile charity ride tomorrow so my challenge will be to maintain cravings…

Bearchested PW: 194.8 CW: 195.2 LTD: 11.8 Went on a 40 mile bike ride Sunday and struggled to get appetite under control early in the week. Plus I took this week off for spring break and I'm not as good with my diet when I'm home.

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.6 CW: 194.8 LTD: 12.2 Due to my increase in cycling my weightlifting coach changed my macros to allow for more carbs while keeping overall calories static. This seemed to help, as I had a stressful week but didn't eat my stress like I usually do.

Bearchested Friday PW: 196.0 CW: 195.6 Completed my first longish (40 mi) bike ride this past Sunday as part of an event in Houston. The ride went great and I realized I could have done the 60 mile event. Working on making sure I don't go over my calorie goal most days.

@PatriceFitnessPal I'm so sorry for your loss of Petey. Our pets fill such a special place in our hearts.

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.6 CW: 196.0 I've been working on improving my diet, and especially my snacking. My cat that I adopted 12 years ago died last month and I eat my feelings. We lost one of our dogs at the end of July as well. They were old pets, but it came a bit unexpectedly for both. Last week was both my cat's…

I'd like to stick with Friday. Thanks!

Hey everyone, my goals have changed a bit to losing more weight again so I'd like to join the weekly weigh-ins. I've made a lot of progress with my training, but will be participating in a bike ride across the state of Iowa later this year and so I'm working on dropping weight along with sticking to my current training…

@frankwbrown Love the pictures. That area, especially Rodeo Beach and Point Bonita Lighthouse, were among my favorites when we lived in California. A couple months ago I had a work trip to California and hiked from Stinson Beach to Muir Woods and back. The fog never really lifted, but it was still a great hike.

@jessicakrall8 I'm sorry, I thought I still had to report my weight weekly on the support group. Please ignore the weigh in.

Bearchested Friday CW: 194.2 Got the diet a bit more under control after the holiday weekend.

Yes, the support team please. I'd like to get to around 18% body fat, which would put me around 188lbs.

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.6 CW: 196.6 LTD: 10.4 I'm working with a weightlifting coach, and have been consistent with logging all my food for the past week, without judging myself. I'm down to 22% body fat per my scale, so I have a bit of a recomposition going on. And I've been consistent with my lifting workouts this…

@msashleybing I'm sorry to hear about your loss of your pets, that's always so hard.

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.8 CW: 195.6 LTD: 11.4 I thought I was getting sick due to my fatigue and GI issues this week, then I remembered I had a larger immunotherapy dose on Monday, which could be causing it. I've started working with a weightlifting coach as barbell training makes me the happiest, as long as I'm focused…

@laceyf53 So sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is never easy.

Bearchested Friday (sorry for the late reporting) PW: 193.8 CW: 195.8 Not exactly sure the reason for the gain. I over indulged a bit over the weekend, but was on track the rest of the week. I did over-exert myself on a long row that I probably resorted to bad form at the end, so I'm dealing with a sore back. Looking…

Bearchested Friday PW: 196.4 CW: 193.8 LTD: 13.2 Starting up no sweets / treats today. I've been doing a rowing challenge this month as well.

@Yukie_OP I'm also guilty of the slippery slope.. Still haven't quite gotten back on the same habits I was doing up until April.

Bearchested Friday PW: 194.4 CW: 196.4 LTD: 10.6 It's been another difficult week. Our cat, Jake, had surgery on Friday to remove a swollen tooth, which apparently had a cyst behind it. I also learned that cat's can reabsorb their teeth? He had a couple other tooth issues they took care of, along with removing a mass and…
