Session II (after work)

Tai Chi

Had a good day's lifting today - felt a bit odd though, as I felt overall fatigue but didn't have problems doing the lifts. Guess it's a leftover from yesterday's race.
 
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

Well, Labor Day weekend is here and gone, hope everyone had a good one. I rather enjoyed mine, as I indulged in the beer (Yards' Thomas Jefferson Ale) I'd mentioned in a previous post. I knew the keg was near empty, because when I would lift it, it would feel pretty light... Well, apparently that working out I've been doing has made some progress, as it was rather more beers to the end of the keg than I thought. Foodwise it was actually pretty good, except for lunch at chili's (chicken enchilada soup, chicken tacos). But I've had my indulgence, and now it's time to get back into the swing of things. Hitting the gym in about an hour so am interested to see how that goes, especially the weigh in. The electric scale had me at a hair under 250 (which kind of surprised me), but am waiting to see what the scale at the gym will read. (Yeah I know I'd talked about getting securely under 250 - the fact I'm still around 250 after this weekend says that I had done it.)

electrical scales are more accurate than others

Much as I'd like to believe that (since the electrical scale regularly gives me a lower weight than the scale at the gym) - the one the gym has is like doctors' offices have (the one where you slide the weights to the right). One that scale I was 252 - not too bad all things considered. So, it's time to get back to it and knock out some good exercise/nutrition days to get back into the groove. I've done my elliptical work already - it feels good to have done it, although in a way I can't wait til I get my strength training in tomorrow. But it feels good to be back on track again (even if I did have a large tomato soup with lunch). This track is something the body recognizes and can handle, and there's a certain solace in that.
 
Not bad stingo. Keep it up. I also indulged this weekend, though not on beer. Just ate way too much. And now, I'm feeling the affects. I'm starving all the time now. But anyway...back to you...

Get back on track and you will see the scale once again go under 250. CONGRATS! You did it! :p
 
Good job reaching your goal Stingo, even if your just a hair short- I'm sure by the end of the week it will be safe to say on whatever scale you reached your goal!!! Glad you also had a good beer drinking weekend lol!!;)

Thanks Shellsy - but I DID make the goal... Going into the weekend I was around 247 or 248. But like ya said, give it some time and I'll get back to that point or further.

well i have heard the opposite stories
3/4 friends from a diet forum were about to throw their new digital scales,just because it gave 6/7 lbs heavier reading than they used to weigh before buying electrical ones:p
252 isnt bad,might want to cut beer for a while;)
