R3P2 VLCD Day 27 - No loss today...

R3 P2 Starting weight on 4-7-8 158.2
Yesterday's weight 147.6
Today’s weight 147.6
Overnight Loss of 0.0 lbs
Total loss this round 10.6 lbs

No loss this morning. I was up a little early since we went hiking this morning and we are finding that we have to go pretty early or the heat just drains us, or to be more specific, it drains me. DH doesn't seem to have as much trouble as I do. But with the weather hitting the high 90's, I can't do a midday hike without having problems with overheating. So we hiked early and it went just fine. Afterwards we went to shop for hiking boots to replace my last pair that blew out a couple of weeks ago. I've been wearing a cheap pair that I usually just use for casual wear and they don't have great traction. So after looking over all the selection, we decided to send my old pair in to be re-soled and then we just bought a pair of good light trail boots to use as backups. These will be fine for the short hikes we do up south mountain on the weekends. I'll still have my old comfy broken in pair to use for longer more rugged hikes. So they won't be all shiny and smooth like new ones would be but I know they'll fit right and do the job!
I still don't know if the hiking really affects my weight loss because low losses on the weekends could be attributed to other things too. I try to keep my water intake high and I usually have an extra mandarin orange when I hike just for energy purposes. And the hike we do is really not a long hike although it is steep so I do get a good cardio workout for the uphill portion. But the uphill takes less than 1/2 hour, so it's not that intense. At any rate, I plan to keep these up for the time being since we really do enjoy it.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend and is losing like crazy!

CB, I'm so glad you let us know what was going on. We were beginning to think you didn't like us anymore! LOL!

B, you are so right about getting support from people we've never even met. I really don't know what I'd do without you all! You're the best. And I hope you'll join me in the 50 club very soon!

Liz, Than you for the nice words. Yes I am so lucky to have met you all. It's great to have online sisters! And I've inspired you?! Oh that's wonderful! Because it is completely mutual!

Marygirl, you better hurry up and join B and me in the 50 club... And we are doing the happy dance, YES!

Jenn! I'm so honored to have a famous person stop by my blog! LOL! You are a celebrity, ain't it grand? Yes, we should have a 50 club on the forum. YEAH! I know, that 11.6 is not that much more to lose, but with these stalls it seems like forever! I'm going to go back over that email you sent me a while back with the strategies you gave me for losing at the end of the round! I asked the questions for Erica, but now i will be able to use your words of wisdom too!
