I hated to even POST that number today! But it's Monday, so there it is. Had a great weekend at the lake. Lots of activity, but not SERIOUS exercise.
So had my run/resistance at the gym this a.m., eating good today, drinking LOADS of fluids -- the not-beer-type fluids!

Happy Memorial Day to all...and a HUGE "Thank You" to any of you here who are/have served in the military or who have family members serving.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments re goal-setting. I've read, thought, pondered, struggled with my perfectionism, and decided to take half-measures - typical Libra, eh? - and reset my goal to 125. That was my original goal when I first started Atkins.

I figure, as long as my weight ranges between 125ish and 130, I'm AT GOAL (and have been for the last year!).

Now I'm working on a new goal - improving fitness. Well, it's not really a goal as such, since I've been exercising for several years, but this last couple of weeks I've added jogging. Just a mild 1/2-hour walk-jog three times a week. Now, the weird thing - funny that the "thigh" discussion should be happening just now - my pants are getting tighter in the legs. My weight's staying the same, so it's presumably muscle, but I won't be happy if I have to buy new clothes. Win some, lose some, eh?

Rachel

Rachel, don't worry -- it'll all even out in the end with the thigh muscle/fat thing. It took me a few months after I started jogging/running (just over 1 year ago) to sort of "level off" but now my legs actually look great for a 41 year-old-lady. And they're thin enough to look great in jeans.

My belly, now...that's a different matter entirely!

Should've waited until today to post my weekly weight...down to 146.5 this a.m. and feeling much better about the whole deal. Shallow, right?

Happy 2nd Monday of the Week!!

Barbara - thanks for your thigh thoughts I do admit that I am genetically pre-disposed to large thighs, on both sides of my family. At least my mom always managed to keep them muscular though, so they never looked quite as bad as mine do. I do think the fat is migrating, which is a bummer in a way. I never expected to trade belly fat for thigh fat! I am just going to keep on working to get back down to 141, and hope that my pants get a little looser in the leg along the way. I am NOT a runner, so I guess that is out!
