I’ve been super busy and have really slacked off posting here. The good news is I’m down 11 pounds. Woohoo! This was a crazy weekend though, so I might see a slight gain on Tuesday.

My goal for the next week is to get back to journaling. I’ve really gotten lazy about it and I know that’s a key to success. When I do it in my head I know I’m forgetting things and eating too much. Back to basics!

weigh-in #5

Posted by stepawayfromthechocolate on July 13, 2008

Bad bad bad. The 4th of July did me in. Ice cream, cake, BBQs, the works. I gained 2.6 at weigh-in. For some reason I just decided to throw everything out the window that week. I allowed myself to do so because of the holiday, but when I got on the scale I was so disappointed in myself. Besides the 4th of July, I let my last weigh-in where I lost .6 get to me. So I was upset about only losing .6 so I sort of threw in the towel. Well now as I look back I realize what ridiculous logic that is. It took a big step back. Not smart.

The good news is that I feel like I’m back on track and I’m hoping that at this next weigh-in those pounds I gained will be gone for good.

weigh-in #4

Posted by stepawayfromthechocolate on July 5, 2008

Man, this is slow going. Last Tuesday was kind of disappointing. I made the mistake of weighing myself at home in the morning before work and compared it to what it said last Tuesday morning when I weighed myself. It read 3 pounds lighter. Well, I knew I hadn’t lost 3 pounds and that I’d weigh different on the weight watchers scale, especially since weigh-in isn’t until 12:30 in the afternoon. However, seeing that particular number on the scale got into my head. I ended up actually losing .6 of a pound. Now, I know I should be glad but I wasn’t. I was actually very frustrated. The reality is I didn’t have a good week and I should have known it wouldn’t be a big loss, but because I weighed myself I set myself up for disappointment.

From now on I will not weigh myself in the morning before my meetings. Actually, I should probably just hide my scale under the bed. If I have to dig it out I’m much less likely to weigh myself at home and make myself crazy.
