Things are pretty much back to normal. Made all my workouts and food was good. I'm just a couple lbs over my regular weight now.

How was your week?

Planning to get into a routine by September. With that in mind, I did a 5k run today. It was hot, so it wasn't pretty, but the activity made me feel like my old self (and I earned a piece of peach pie!)

I had a day of beach trawling and beer sipping with friends yesterday. But we did start the morning with weights at the gym and I did eat fairly well for going out. The rest of the week was very good. Got in all workouts except laps on Saturday, but I swam a little at my friend's pool at the beach Sunday afternoon before we hit up the beach bars to hear music.
This week I hope to start running 3x a week instead of twice, while keeping all other workouts on the schedule.

Sounds like everyone is staying on track and you can add me to the list. I made my work out goal by the skin of my teeth. My weight is the same as usual and instead of being discouraged, I'm looking at it as a win since I haven't gained anything either. Plan to keep up the same workout schedule for the week. Good luck everyone!

Walking went well; I'm trying to add workouts (again) this week since last week I felt really tired and quit.

Runcarla, Nice.

Mo, that sounds like it was a lot of fun.

Kelly, I'd say it is a win. Our bodies just give it up when they want to.

Alasse, good job not giving up on the workouts.

Last week was a good week, four gym sessions and a couple of walks around town. Eating was pretty good too.

I had Sunday off and was doing some computer work and went to stand up and my left glute seized, and I had sciatic pain down the thigh. Yesterday I could hardly walk and struggled to stand up. It is on the mend today but I think I will have the week off the gym and do some walking instead. Wondering if I have been overdoing the squats?

Sounds like a good sound week for all! Well done Shedev, Allasse, Runcaria, Kelly and Mo.

Hate to be the party pooper but I'm doing badly! I lost 1.5 pounds last week and my goal was to not gain it back over the weekend. Yep, I did. These fluctuations are discouraging!! And it was only a few little slips, it's not like I gorged. Hmmmm.

Peri, the ability of a woman's body to fluctuate in weight is amazing, and for me, especially as I get older. A weird thing that has happened to me in the last few weeks is that I am not doing well on keeping the food diary, and am sure I'm taking in too many calories, but I've lost. Other times I am very careful and either I don't lose or I gain.

Overall I'm doing pretty well. I'm almost back to where I was before the last trip, and am hoping I can do even better on the next. I'm taking it a bit easier on exercising this week, but I'll get back full swing in coming weeks.

Big challenge coming up: another trip including a wedding. I'm sure there won't be any Cornish pastries again, but for sure there will be delectable piroskis and lots of cake and stuff like that.

Kiwigal, hope you are feeling better soon.

Peri, fluctuations can drive you nuts. It is only one measure of progress though.

Ms. Maven, trips can be challenging. Usually any gains from them go away once we get back into our regular habits.

Kiwigal, ouch! I am all too familiar with the sciatic issues. Be super careful about form on the squats for a bit, especially if you think it might be a disk.
