Weigh in from the mountains 02/02/11
Well we have moved in to February with my wife and I on a ski trip in the mountains I am posting this as I head to bed as I will be sleeping in.
I could probably find a scale but that would be work so just claiming I held at 234.
@Elly I just saw your question yesterday about breakfast while on the road. For me when I am doing things right this would be finding a hotel that has a continential breakfast, cereal or toast and peanut butter, milk or juice. If you have to go to the hotel every once in a while I'll actually order the fruit plate. A final alternative is a Tim Hortons for a muffin, which is not necessarily that good if you go with a double chocloate but I will do bran or carrot. Now if you have been following me in the weigh in you might notice I don't always make the correct nutrition choices so I will hit the breakfast buffet for eggs, bacon, etc especially as I don't cook like that when I'm at home.

Here's the usual link to the spreadsheet.

I'm down almost a pound myself and in very solid off season weight territory (at least according to the calculation in Racing Weight). But, tto be honest, I'm not where I hoped to be post cleanse (today is my last day). I do wonder if the exercise I've done on the restrictive diet has been counterproductive insofar as my body may be in starvation modeand is holding on to the calories I am taking in. I'm not sure bc I'm definitely snacking (and on high calorie healthy fats, mostly nuts, dried fruits, and apples with almond butter). In any event, the real test will be to hold and continue to drop (another 2 or 3 lbs to get me where I want to be this spring; then drop another 2-3 come June as I gear up for WI). Next Wed should be interesting!
@Elly/Gordon - as far as breakfast on the road... pre-primal I would opt for the oatmeal and a banana at the continental breakfast (adding nuts, raisins, and a pinch of brown sugar). I think you could even get that a Denny's. Starbucks has oatmeal now, too. Post primal I've really only traveled for races (where a few carbs don't bother me) or to homes. But I'd try to stick to egg and veggie omlettes. I'm not a pork eater so I'd give away any bacon or sausage that may have come with it (despite what Mark Sisson says, I just don't think bacon has a role to play in a healthy lifestyle). Also, I"d skip the toast or potatoes and ask for a fruit side instead. Most places will do that. If you have a fridge in your room - stock up on fruit, non-fat greek yogurt and maybe some raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews) - all great for you!
