I weigh almost daily but have only been recording monthly. Maybe being accountable to my other 40 somethings on a weekly basis will help. I remember when I was younger 15-20lb loss in a month was nothing. At 48 I celebrate an 8lb loss. I look at old young pics of me and realize I dieted myself fat.

I have been hitting the gym 4x a week which include lifting weights with the big boys and girls and 20-25 mins on either the life cycle or treadmill. Will a goal to walk or ride a little further in that time limit every week.

6/17/13 ... 154.5 Out of town for 9 of the last 14 days
6/24/13 ... 153.5 I think I'm doing better with calories.
7/1/13 ... 157.5 WHAT is going on with my body. I am not overeating!
7/15/13 ... 156.0 Ate in restaurants 3times last week. Thanks Rob. Beer ordered every time, too. Fun, delicious, but not helpful.
7/22/13 ... 158.0 HIGHEST WEIGHT SINCE POST-XMAS. AAAGH!How quickly it comes back.
7/29/13 ... 156.5 I fear my 3FC experience has been one of maintaining, not losing.

8/12/13 ... 155.5 Yep! seems the most I can manage is maintaining these days. Will I ever see the 140's?

9/30/13 ... 156.5 I haven't been eating badly. I must keep telling myself this is just bloating, this is just fluid.
10/7/2013 ... 155.0
10/14/2013 ... 152.5 It feels good to put up a nice number. Intellectually, probably not real.
10/21/2013 ... 153.0 Pub burgers are my undoing.
10/29/2013 ... 154.0 Maybe I am building muscle.

Damage control. It's hard handling stress without eating, but I feel I've sort-of conquered it when it's my own stress. When it's the kids' stress, it's exponentially harder for some reason.
