Well, at least it's slightly down and not up. Poor eating and not much exercise due to work schedule and not feeling so hot all week. Didn't watch carbs and without the exercise it didn't do so well with a loss. Heading to the beach this weekend. Hope to do a lot of jogging on beach and climbing the cliffs/stairs to and from next to our campsite. Have prime spot on bluffs overlooking ocean. Only hubby and I going so I was able to arrange menu how I wanted. Have a great weekend!

Still a loss. Camping trip last weekend had me scrambling all week to lose what I'd gained on the trip. We ended up getting snow and rain and never went hiking. So, we sat around the campfire eating and drinking. I forgot how many calories are in mimosas! And pancakes, and bacon and s'mores (made with peeps!). When I arrived home on Sunday, I was up almost 6 lbs - in 3 days! Scary!!! So, to have a loss of .8 today is great! Worked my butt off. Gotta get it in gear this week to keep my challenge goal of getting to 199.9 by the end of May. Fingers crossed!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday and a terrific weekend!

Just signed up for the annual California Classic cycling event for May 17. This is the only event where the police and highway patrol actually shut down a portion of the freeway so that we can ride on it. Pretty cool! The freeway portion is only 10 miles but has a few big hills (never realized these were hills in my car until actually riding them on the bike in past years). Hubby and I only signed up for the 35 mile route. His back and knees have been bothering him. In the past, we've done the 60 mile rides. I'm still not up for the 100 mile (century) rides as those go up into the foothills and I'd need to spend an extra $1500 for a bike that's a bit lighter before doing that, which I'm not sure I'll ever do.

I told my husband that I'm gonna be a bit embarrassed at being only a 35 mile cyclist (you place colored entry "bibs" on your bike so everyone knows the route you are taking). How competitive is that?! I'm usually thinking - "aw those are the beginners. How cute!" What is wrong with me?! At least they're out there! I know, stupid that I care - but this is one of the sporting events I'm good at so I always feel good when I've got a higher color bib. Lol! I told him we will just have to beat our time from other races.

Yippee! Down again and so excited. Thanks again for everyone's support and motivation. A special thanks to my friend Bwy for his challenges to me and guidance. I've learned this week that I'd been overdoing it on the carbs. In all my 47 years (most of those dieting) I'd never paid attention to carbs. I was going way beyond what was suggested for good weight loss. Although I've dieted a lot in my life, I never did Atkins or any other kind of diet that looked at carbs. Wow - did you know that there are carbs in more than just bread and pasta?! LOL. Sounds naive, but really - I never paid attention. Beans? Yup, carbs. Veggies - carbs. Now, I've been schooling myself a little and know there are some good carbs and also know the range I should be eating for fast weight loss. I'm going to try to lay a limitless more attention to this. I don't think Atkins is my way to go but know I need to watch this. I've learned so much from all of you during these past 3 months and I'm trying to put that knowledge into my daily routine. So thank you friends!

Took the day off and hubby and I are heading up north to go camping with friends and my sister for the weekend. I will have a lot of challenges as I didn't plan all the menus but will try to stay focused and at least limit portion control. Am also going to try to get in a few hikes, weather permitting. It is supposed to storm all day today. Hopefully it clears up tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll see you on Sunday night (or Monday morning if too exhausted to check in when I get home Sunday).

24 years ago today I gave birth to my beautiful little girl!!! I am so very proud to call this young lady my daughter. She is the love of my life. Her daddy and I say we never had more children because we did it right the first time. She's intelligent, beautiful and has the kindest heart and most beautiful soul. I'm so lucky she's in our lives. 💕💕💕
