No material change in weight, morning weigh ins are at or below set weight with dehydrated weight 5 pounds down, stuffed/overhydrated weight 4 pounds high.
Most of last month was a lot of renovation and landscape work on youngest daughter's house, not many days of high intensity (high heartrate) activity until the last week of the month.
Also, last month I had my biggest calorie day ever (4593) since joining FS 26 months ago. Kinda snuck up on me, traveling with family, started the day well, but two big meals at restaurants and a big splurge of Ben & Jerry's at the end of the day all added up (that B & J is kryptonite for me). I averaged down for a few days and also did a little bit of extra time on the elliptical, so no lasting harm, but I sure felt the extra carbs/calories the next day.
Right now I'm one week into a six week, pre-winter endurance and power training program to get ready for our winter ski season, with my first big back country trip scheduled for Dec 12. I'm also on vacation with family so pretty easy to incorporate the program (along with some high intensity napping, LOL) into my days.
I'll post some pics soon, good luck all...
PS: For those interested, here is a link to an article I read today regarding endurance training.

Hey Steven, I enjoyed the link. It's not news but very good info. Now, I need to put more of it into practice... lol

You bet John...I thought it interesting that the second benefit they mentioned (after better cardiovascular health) was more efficient weight control. That makes sense as to build and keep endurance you will be fairly active, which also allows you to be fairly active just doing life. Do N Ok, it was a short read, pretty straight forward, no big suprises :)

Gosh. I can see why power naps need to be incorporated into this training schedule. I was worn out looking at each one. LOL!

LOL Mom, my program is my own, but still pretty intense...the odd nap an inevitable consequence. I'm on vacation so no requirement to stay awake :-) I target two sessions a day, early morning and mid afternoon...lots of HIIT, with targeted average heart rate in the 135 - 145 bpm zone for each session (max HR +/- 170 bpm), cardio plus resistance training in each session. It sounds weird but after a week it is kinda fun, the first week not so much.
