Hanging in on the weight issue. I will hit the gym Saturday AM and next week should be a normal 3X week (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) weight lifting after work. I work 8 - 10 hours days and have a home business that I work on evening so I'll be busy and this helps stop the eating. Some days I eat lunch while I work so when the weather breaks I'll be outside walking during lunch. The company will have to deal with me missing during lunch.
I suspect a weight bounce back next week but it's happened before so I won't be surprised. It seems like God is playing a joke on me but I'm probably just ignorant about the process. People say your building muscle so it's obvious but the Doctors says I'm obese based on my weight and height. These weight tables are crap because they don't know what's fat and whats muscle. I remember going for blood work and the woman at the desk asked me to read the scribbles that my Dr. wrote on my paperwork for diagnosis. It said I was OBESE so I told her it said I was FAT. We had a good laugh.
I have been hitting lower numbers on the calories lately and I'm hoping this doesn't sap my energy but it's good to know I can lean up on the calories w/o feeling too bad.
This whole weight loss and working out balance is pretty complicated. I thank FS for giving us the tools to track because this is really a complicated issue. And it's good to see other's fighting the same battles dealing with the same issues. Hang in there all.

I am also doing 3X/week weight lifting. No idea whatsoever if it's actually doing any good, but I know this: 1) when I'm working out, I'm not eating 2) it can't hurt 3) it makes me feel like I'm doing something right for myself. I'm hanging in there with you!

Weight tables are sort of crap, different ones have different numbers. Keep up with the weights, good for your whole body.

Thanks, Got through workout...slow but complete. I didn't skimp on the weights..groaning all the way through but my I-pod drowned it out for me. Hope I didn't scare the college kids.
Monday I'll step up the speed..be back in the groove. Try more on the track.
