The scale is a big liar!

...but it still felt good to see 236 on it when I got on this morning lol.

Between the foot problems I'm having and the diuretic I'm taking my weight's had a big swing this week. I weighed in at my doc's office at 253 (!), then the very next day at the gym I go to, I weight 242 - the gym scale is generally 2 lbs lower than my doc's scale, so assuming it still is, that's a 10 lb drop right there. Now, this morning (having taken the diuretic twice a day now - usually only take it once), I got on the gym scale this morning, and it said 236... Now, before the Monday before the hike, I got in at 236.5 for my weigh in for this fitness challenge I'm doing at the gym, so I'm hoping this 236 now is closer to where I actually am, otherwise I'm going to have a heck of a time reaching 230 (my goal for the challenge) by the last week in May.
 
Workout 4/28

Spinning

My second two hour class. For whatever reason I was having problems the first hour, but then I got my first wind (couldn't really call it my second) and did much better.

Workout 5/1

Spinning

Intervals again - 5, of 1 minute at top effort and 3 minutes rest, then 20 minutes of hills and open road.
 
Workout 5/2

30 Minutes Spinning
25 Minutes Upper Body
30 Minutes Stability Ball Conditioning

Because this week's challenge as part of the fitness challenge I'm doing at my gym is to do group exercises, I opted to take the above classes instead. It was a good workout to be sure - but I think I'd stick with strength training.

I just saw this! IT's funny for myself I always battle between the classes and doing my own weight routine, there are pros and cons to both IMO. What was it for you that you prefered to stick to your own routine?
