Weigh Day: Huh?

I had a faithful week on program, a bit of weight training, and several 60 minute sessions of intense cardio. My reward? A 1 lb gain. I will never understand scale logic, but I know that my work will eventually be rewarded (it better be, dammit!)

My 5K training is going well. I’ve been slowly increasing speed and varying the incline every 5 minutes to simulate possible hills on the course. Right now I’m walking at 4.0 mph (15 minute mile) and would like to work up to a slow jog.

The other TRI Divas are also doing well in training. Chesty swims like a fish (drinks like one too…but I’m not one to gossip, so you didn’t hear it from me). DonnainDallas is truly working her jelly on the bike. Take a look at her diary and be inspired.

Hope everyone is having a great week…I’ll post a few recipes tomorrow.

I used to do tons of cardio, but after reading lots of different articles, I only do 30 min of cardio each session. Did you eat all your points? Im sure it will come off next week? RYN: Thanks, Im thrilled!!!

You know Im in Canada now right? I dont think they have a magnet, today I asked for my ribbon and they were out of them. I do have the 10% Key chain to look forward to.

Sorry you gained 🙁 My mom had that problem a few weeks ago.. totally OP and gained .5 but it sure showed the next week w/ a 4lb loss. It WILL catch up with you!
