Another check-in with McConnell, and another surprise. Yet again, no weight loss. OK, so I lost a half pound. It's not making a lot of sense, since my Sunday night weight keeps dropping. There are two things that I can think have changed: 1) I'm drinking wine before I go to bed, which I wasn't doing for a long time, and 2) I've eased up on the intensity of two of my workouts. So, I'm going to back off the wine this week, and see if things improve.
Speaking of workouts, I did my regular resistance workout this morning, plus the higher intensity workouts on both the recumbent bike and treadmill.

A couple of thoughts about this:
1. Your weekly weight check as always at the same time in the evening, is your Dr. Appt. always at the same time?
2. I know that my weight fluxuates through out the day depending on how much I eat and drink, and how many times (if at all) I go to the bathroom
3.The "easy" weight has come off, now you are working harder to get the rest off
4.All your exercising is now building muscle, and as we all know muscle weighs more than fat
Finally I have taken your weekly weights as posted and graphed them. You can view it at here. It shows that at your current rate you'll be down to 200 lbs on Christmas Day (assuming you don't eat too many Christmas cookies).
Hey, Ken,
1. Yep, it's always the same time. Right after my morning workout, between 7 and 7:30AM every Wednesday.
2. I had thought about that, and my "routine" is very stable. I eat the same amount before I leave for my workout, I drink the same amount of water during the workout and everything after the workout is... ummmm... regular.
3. I've thought about that, and I'm wondering if that's true. I honestly wouldn't be surprised, but I guess I'd hoped it'd be longer...
4. Hmmm... <looks> in the mirror>... no. :)
Well, thanks for the chart. It gives me hope that I'll meet that particular goal (that was actually something I'd hoped to accomplish).
