Ended another week of fun…
Yeah you could say that I’m baffled. I was a pissed off 290 lbs last Sunday and this Sunday I’m a confused 280 lbs.
I am looking forward to taking it a little slower this week with my workouts, and I am traveling for part of this week, and spending all of next week in North Carolina with my entire family. It will be the first vacation my entire family has ever taken.

I win by a big margin, but I almost feel it’s a hallow victory, as I’m sure 4-5 lbs of it was adjustment weight via either water retention, or some other mechanism of body weight change.
We have a few more weeks left in this competition, and it looks like the slimmer of the two people in our game have reached the points of slow ROW (return on work). I too realize that I am not far from that point where the weight will come off 1 lb at a time, as I reach my ideal physique.
I look forward to the next two weeks; I will have some me time finally, and will go on my first family vacation.
Not sure you’ll have time, but you can “drop-in” to other CrossFit gyms. Chance’s are there will be one near where you’re headed in NC. Just drop them a line and tell them you’re an athlete at Potomac and they’ll welcome you with open arms. Definitely a fun thing to drop-in, meet new people, experience new gyms with different trainers/workouts!
Ryan,
That’s a good suggestion. I’ve been doing the PCF WoD’s when I’m away. Crossfit I’m realizing is like most businesses only a small percentage of them truly get it and excel, and the vast majority of them suck ass. I’m trying to find one in the Outer Banks but we are staying near Hatteras which is almost at the southern most tip of the Outer Banks.

Re-counting previously lost weight is lame – I dont think that should count as a win, especially since there is no penalty for gaining weight.
DN,
To be fair I would have still dropped 2 lbs.
