Water/Watermelon weight.... >.< I have gone backwards.

The past couple of weeks have been ridiculous. I'm tired and just plain disappointed with a lot of things. My repaired bike lasted a week and half more before the metal gave out and bent inwards prompting the purchase of a new bike... the new bike and I are having a hard time getting to know each other. =( My old bike was a Stamina air resistance upright that had the option of moving or stationary handlebars. I liked having that option and usually kept the bars stationary because I like to keep higher speeds during my workout and the moving handlebars are a little scary when you're going fast. I almost knocked myself off at one point so stationary they stayed the past seven years. This new bike is also a Stamina air bike but it has no options, the handle bars move. I don't like it. I've decided to disconnect the bars from the pedals but the bars don't tighten up so I have to be careful not to push, pull or lean on them during a workout. The resistance is also a little different and a fifteen minute workout night before was very, very rough. I'm used to being able to at least get 40 min a night so far I've managed just the 15 in the past week. I DON'T like change.... Other than that my logging on FS has fallen off the charts but I am still logging on MFP to keep up with my fitbit. I hope I'm able to turn things around this week...... I just bought a whole pile of new clothes... I have to get back on board and I have no clue where my motivation has gone.

Hang with it - we go through these periods sometimes...I had watermelon this week too and it is delicious and quenching in summer...and full of carbs and sugar so it makes my scale blip up too. Drink water and be well.

So maybe that is why my weight is creeping up. Enjoying lots of watermelon with the same amount of activity and reasonable foods. The only thing that makes me feel better is that I am losing inches.thanks for sharing. I am thinking of getting a bike with the weather cooling off and the gym closed sometimes when I would like to exercise. I just don't want it to turn into a clothes rack! Thanks for sharing. All the best on your journey.

Sorry to hear you are so fed up. It is frustrating when things you love wear out and cannot be replaced. I'm sure that is what's causing your lack of motivation. Is there any chance of you being able to exchange the new bike for one with fixed handlebars?

Hang in there - weight fluctuations are normal. You only fail if you give up.
