Weekly Weigh-In, Belated edition

Just realized that I forgot to weigh in yesterday. Was home sick and totally forgot. Oh well, what can you do? Haven't been able to run in well over a week, and am definitely missing it. However, the upside of having little appetite and dulled taste buds due to a raging cold-a loss without working out!!

Challenge starting weight......................183.0
Last week..................................................179.8
This week..................................................178.0
Loss................................................................1.8

Power of One Weigh-In #6

This was not a great week for exercising, unfortunately. Lost of stuff at work and then kids got sick, but I was able to squeeze a couple of runs in, including one on Thursday that was my longest ever-33 minutes! Now I've picked up a cold from my kids and I'm miserable. Haven't been to the gym in a while and don't see it happening tomorrow either. SUCKS!

However, I still managed to lose. Am worried that maybe there is something wrong with my scale, I just don't understand why I would have a loss this week at all. Oh, well, I'll take it since next week might not be so good!

Last week......................................... 181.6
This week..........................................179.8

The Power of One Week 5 Weigh in

Not a great week. Snow and ice hit last week and I ended up with 3 days of no school due to snow and ice and no power in a ton of the schools. Three days home with my kids resulted in lots of snacking and no exercising (except for shoveling snow).

My parents had no power for a few days and we had them over. Instead of cooking, we ordered Chinese food. Haven't had it in a while, and it was so good! I didn't feel like I ate a lot of it but it kicked me in the butt and I put on close to 5lbs in just a few days. I really feel like the Chinese (and that special time of the month) led me to retain a TON of water. My socks dug into my legs and left indentation marks like when I was pregnant. I've been slugging water ever since, but couldn't fix it completely by today. For the first time, this challenge, I had a gain. So frustrating, but whatevs, it happens :)

Here are my weekly numbers:


Starting weight.................................187.2
Challenge starting weight...............183.0
Last week......................................... 180.8
This week..........................................181.6
Loss.....................................................+0.8
Challenge loss.......................................1.4

Total loss...............................................5.6
