TBCourt, the car was the WORST for my hip! How strange, we must have the same sore muscle (though my IT band wasn't involved).

I was in a 3.5-hour meeting today with homemade lemon bars, donut holes, and banana bread. I ran out of coffee and had to switch to sweets to keep going.

I switched to maintaining this month; between my finals at school, my group project (group members assigned by the professor- don't know the people, hate group projects anyway- I ate my way through 2 dozen cookies the night the assignment was due) and putting in an offer on a house (it was accepted, so in the process of buying a house), I figured it was better to step back and go into maintenance rather than further stress myself out. Next month will be calmer

However, I also signed up for the LoziLu Mud Run in Boston in July, so I have to start training for that. And my best friend in NJ started doing a couch-to-5k and she wants to be able to run with me when we are together at the end of the month. So, I still have exercise to look forward to.

Currently: 152

GOAL: 150 at the end of the month!

4 May: 153.4
5 May: 153.0
6 May: 152.4 I'll take it!
7 May: 152.0 We'll see if I don't bounce back up!
8 May: 152.6 I knew I would go back up... my weight bounces around a lot. Also, I totally just chowed down on pizza, a piece of chocolate mousse cake & a nice glass of wine, no guilt here! (It's my bday )
9 May: 153.2 Yikes! (but expected)
10 May: 152.2
11 May: 152.4 (-1 for the week )
12 May: 152.2
13 May: 152.0
14 May: 151.8
15 May: 152.0

5/14- 135
5/15- 130.7- NEW SCALE.

So I've had this same scale for forever, and it's digital but it's very off. But you never know exactly how much, as it's a percentage of what you way. For example, with the new scale, my 3 year old is 34 lbs. She is on the old one too. But for me it's around 4 lbs off and for my hubby it's around 7 lbs off. So I'm officially changing my goals as well. Instead of 130 for the end of May, I'm gonna try for 126 instead.

Yay new scale! and it measures to the tenth...

Thesame7 - I ran about 1 mile yesterday with no pain so I'd say that is a victory! I dont want to push it too much though, going to wait a few more days until I run again. And I'm not 100% sure mine has anything to do w/ the IT Band, that is just what I was told from an athletic trainer, but who knows. I'm just trying to stretch and rest.

Have a great weekend all!!

I'm still dealing with fatigue. I'm trying to decide right now if I have the energy for barre. Or maybe I should run in the rain -- such a rare opportunity here!

Welcome, TBCourt! I've got the hip thing going on, too. Hope yours is better soon! Thanks for the IT Band info. I'll have to look that up. I had a couple of missteps at the movie the other day, because their lighting system was on the fritz, and I think that made it worse.

Congrats, vabs!! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I love seeing the difference in the mirror every day. That's a big part of what keeps me going.

I didn't make weight this week, which was not surprising, as the weigh-in was two days early, due to a trip. No biggie! I'm just going to try again next week.

Goal for Wednesday, May 20, 2015: 107

Last official weigh-in, 5/6: 107.4
