So, I was attacked by bats this morning.......it's true. I don't know what was happening but as I was walking a group of bats started circling me for the ENTIRE BLOCK that I was on. They just kept swooping around me! I was like OMG, so I started running but then I got scared that I was gonna run into one so I just ducked and walked really slowly. How weird right? Yikes...probably the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me....
I noticed something this morning when I checked my weight. Yo-yo-ing is so normal. One day I'm 168, the next I'm 171, the next I'm 173, then back down to 169....our bodies are so weird right? I haven't had as much water as I normally do the last 2 days because I've been super busy at work so I must remember to continue my hydration plan. It helps me be more weight-consistent as it helps to flush the system, it's the biggest change I've made recently and I believe the most critical for me!
T-Minus 6 HOURS until vacation...gonna be a loooooong day, it's ONLY 9AM!!!! And of course I don't have much to do at work so I'll probably just sit here twiddling my thumbs....dodododododododo....I have every intention of continuing my workouts while up there. I'm a little nervous about the running though in the AM, there have been multiple bear sightings near where we are staying. I'm tough, but I'm NOT bear-tough (or apparently bat-tough). Perhaps a long afternoon walk will have to do!
So, I doubt I'll be online much next week, I'll still log when I can and try to check my notifications. I hope you all have an amazing, bear and bat-free weekend and week next week, I will miss my FS buddies!! Good luck continuing your journeys!!!!! Muahz!!!!!!

Take pepper spray and wear a bell. Know how to tell the difference between grizzly and black bear droppings? Black bear droppings have berry seeds all through it. Grizzly droppings smell like pepper and have bells in it. :D Not to worry. Make a little noise, whistle, sing... whatever. They don't want to see you just as much as you don't want to see them.

That yoyo! I feel like it's the body settling in just like weight gain isn't usually linear. However the yoyo rope is getting lower and lower. You go with you bad self. As usual, you made me laugh with your journal entry. Maybe the bats swarmed down to congratulate you :-)

I have the same issue with the yoyo this past week, same with the water, not thinking, one day its 157- next 155..this morning after making myself drink more yesterday its exact 154.....how weird. I'm heading to gym this afternoon and will weigh on their scale and record whatever it says today. Enjoy your vacation!!! AND OMG on the bats!!!!! that would kill my walking!

Haha; I've got bats in my gym. Most of the time, they just hang out up in the rafters, but when I've got the lights dimmed, they swoop around and the shadows are erie. I love having people over that don't know they're there. I get a lot of, "What was that? There it is again!" Funny. I know, sadistic too. They don't hurt anything though. Have fun on your vacation!

Guess who had a black bear encounter on her morning walk this morning?!? Yes, kids... I did! I had no bell, no pepper spray, and apparently, no brains. All I had was an iPhone, my keys and a 500mL bottle of water. I just shook my keys at it like you do at a crying baby and screamed a few four-letter expletives. It ran for the hills and I double-timed it back to the house! It was not my finest hour, because it caught me totally off guard. I had no idea I had bears less than 2 blocks from my house... in the suburbs! Yikes! I might start wearing a cowbell on my morning walks!

:0! I just realized my heart is actually racing right now, and I wasn't there! That is crazy! Great job defending yourself. They say if you run from them, they may run after you. Thank goodness he chose to instead! Time to tie some bells on your sneakers:)!

sorry the bats were bothering you, but we really need them as they help control the insect population. Scientist were wondering why so many were dying a few weeks ago. Don't think they have found out yet. I think the body is gets us ready for a loss and it adjusts itself to conform to the new weight. The body is "crazy." Have a great vacation. Allow yourself a 2 lbs gain and resume activites when you get back.
