Day #98 - Push it!
Starting weight (7/15/08): 279.8 (1/8/08): 285.2
Calories/Carbs Goals (limits): 1400 / 30.0
Yesterday’s calories & net carbs: 1397 / 22.1
Yesterday’s exercise: 45 minutes ex. bike & 1 hour DDR
Weight Yesterday: 252.0 Today: 252.4
Change today:: +0.4 lbs. Loss-so-far: 27.4 lbs. / 32.8 lbs.
This yo-yo thing on the scale is cracking me up. Up .2 then down .4 then up .4 then down .2 - it all adds up to NOT getting out of the 250’s yet! But that’s okay, because it’s motivated me to PUSH IT ALONG!! I want to see that two-forty-something number on the scale!!!! And if it’s gonna take a little extra work, then so be it!
Tonight I put in some time on the DDR between 7 and 8 pm and then at 9:00 sharp when DWTS-Results came on, I climbed on the exercise bike and did not stop pedaling and did not climb back off until the digital clock in the TV room clicked over to 10:00 and the show was over! I have no idea how many miles that was (forgot to go buy batteries today) but my BUTT felt like it was about FIFTY! LOL, my rear-end was numb by the time I climbed off!! I kept the pace pretty consistent so I think if I had to guess how fast I was pedaling I would say about 12-14 miles per hour - so since I kept it up for an hour, geee that would beeeeeee uhhhhhhh lol 12-14 miles!
I’m leaving tomorrow for a conference - won’t be back home until Saturday. I’m bringing my computer though and the hotel has internet. Since I won’t have my DDR there, I guess I’ll be hitting the hotel gym too. I feel very uncomfortable at any gym but I’ll get over it. I NEED to move this weight loss along!
And YES … I’m bringing my scale, LOL!
CARTOON OF THE DAY
Special note to Joy: To post a picture, there is a little icon above the window where you “write”, it looks like a little tree I think? Anyway, when you run your mouse over it, it says “Insert/Edit image.” Anyway, find the URL of the picture you want to post (if you want to post one of your own you can use a free service like photobucket) and copy the URL, then click on the tree icon and paste the URL in the box that pops up. Hope that made sense!
Oh, and the dice game we were playing? It never had a name when I was growing up, we just called it “The Dice Game,” but recently someone told me that the name of the game we play is “10 Thousand,” which makes sense, since you play until… um… 10,000. LOL. The rules are online at:

Yo-yo on the scale is so frigging disheartening! Especially when there’s no apparent reason for it and you’re right on the very cusp of a new ‘decade’.
I had that going on for about a month. It ended this week, for which I am so grateful - I was beginning to get a bit of rage.
If you yo-yo anything like me, you’ll see a very nice loss once it’s over and your body catches up.
Good for rocking the bike again! Funny on packing your scale, I would too. Hope your conference is fun. Are conferences fun? I’ve never been.
The hotel gym is likely busy in the morning, not too bad at night. I get the idea you’re a bit of a night owl, if you’re truly uncomfortable just go at night.
I don’t love gyms either, but because of the other people. I always try to attend during off-peak hours.
I am loving you and your tv biking! Excellent job! I have the bounce around on the scale right now too. I went over on my calories by about 200 or so yesterday and woke up to a 1.8 pound increase today!! I know it can’t be actual fat gain, so it has to be just fluid retention and stuff. That is probably what you are having too. It is maddening regardless!
The hotel gym should not be too bad. I tried one for the first time this summer. Only encountered one person in there and she was harmless.
Thank you so much for the info on posting a photo. I am going to give it a whirl when I get some new photos. Thanks for the link on the dice game. We LOVE to play games in the winter.
LOLOLOLOL
I Love that cartoon!! sooooo funny! So me! LOL
Dont worry about the yoyo scale you are doing great. Stay on track and it will melt off.
Take care and have a good trip.
