Diet
Was good with the food choices this week, until yesterday. Had a few afternoon beers at the local. My wife took a day trip to Cape May and returned with 2 large cookies from the Cape May Peanut Butter Co that we shared. Ate final meal and the cookies too late.
Exercise
Got back into the exercise groove this week. Took yesterday off to get a few things done around the house and bike maintenance. Up early to ride outside today. Will be changing the running up this week to concentrate on some hill repeats. Next Sat, running the Adrenaline 5k in Haddonfield. Also adding extra credit weight workouts back in this week to keep and increase muscle.

Diff: weekly down 3.6, total lost = 53.6
Getting back into the groove with exercise and food choices, weight trended back down. Was actually a pound lighter yesterday and not shocked that it went up after the beer and cookies. I do find I'm snacking a bit more as the week progresses. Cashews are my kryptonite.
Wife has not be as active and hasn't weighed herself much. She's been good with food, however, when she weighed yesterday, was up 2lbs.
Diet
Knew it was going to be a not so good week. Early in the week, did fine. Thurs evening, went out with my wife and parents for the Shamrock Menu at a local restaurant. I had a house salad, a huge portion of Shepherd's Pie, only ate 3/4 of it to save room for the piece of chocolate cake that followed. Did good Fri, but Saturday ended up at the local tavern for beers, French Dip sandwich with fries and a piece of cake. Sunday afternoon at Tonewood with the dudes, then we went to the local tavern and I had my share of wings with some more beer. Feeling it all this morning when putting on clothes. Too much snacking on cashews and trailmix this week didn't help either. Garmin watch recorded the proof as well. RHR (higher), stress level (higher), body battery (lower) and sleep (not enough) all took a hit from the weekend.
Exercise
Consistent with circuits and extra credit weights M/W/F. Time Crunched Cyclist plan T/Th. Some lunch break walks. Participated in the Adrenaline 5k on Saturday morning and ran a PR. Was looking to be sub 30min and succeeded. Going to continue keeping running in the mix, but mtb racing season will begin in 2wks with the Rattling MTB on 4/1.

Diff: weekly up 8.6, total lost = 45
Knew it was going to be a good number. Back to focusing on the discipline and being consistent with food and exercise. Maintaining definitely requires more effort than losing.
Wife has mentioned she's feeling fluffy and got back on track last week with more exercise. Didn't tell me what the scale showed, only that she was up. She also ran the 5k and was satisfied with her time since she hasn't been running and now has a baseline. Yesterday, she registered both us for another 5k in April in West Cape May.
