Weigh-In

Todays' Weight:  226.5

This week's loss:  -1.5

Total loss so far: -4.5 lbs.

I was scared to weigh myself this morning and very relieved to see that it was down and not up.  

I've been sticking to my weekly goals and have decided this week that I'm going to begin watching my food intake a little more closely.  Mainly not eating late at night,  or at least keeping it very simple if I'm really hungry (because that does happen some times if I don't eat much at dinner and we do our toning exercises).  

We are headed out this morning for an all-day outreach with our church and I packed almonds, cheese sticks, fruit and some hard boiled eggs to take along as snacks and sandwiches and little bags of chips for our lunch.  I don't want to be caught hungry and snacking on tons of crackers and/or junk all day.  :)  Yes, we also have plenty of water.  Can you believe I'm more worried about not having enough water all day?  That's a switch.

Well, here's to another week in my journey.  I'm encouraged that it's not all in vain and the hard work will pay off.  Day by day and with baby steps I will find my way down this weight loss journey. 

Have a good weekend!

New Weigh-In Day

One of my best friends has started working on her own weight loss journey, so we decided to weigh-in on the same day so we can compare our progress together.   

So, here's my weigh-in stats for this week.  

Today's weight:  228.0

That is up 1/2 lb. from Tuesday morning. 

My reaction:  I cried.  I've worked out a lot this week and I was sure it would be at least down a pound or so.  I'm not sure what's up and I'll admit I wanted to quit right then.  

However, I know this is a long-term journey and I can't let the scale ruin my day, so I have to make myself keep going and keep my chin up.

My husband weighed himself today also and he is also up a half of a pound.  

I'm hoping it's because my muscles are toning.  I'm afraid maybe I didn't eat enough, but who knows.  

I just need to step away from this for today and try to get my happy face back on.  I know deep down it will come off, but I'm a little vexed at the moment. 

Weigh-in

Today's Weight:  227.5

This week: - 2

Total loss so far:  -3.5 lbs. 

Yay!  The scale is going back down.  I only worked out two times last week, but drank my water faithfully.  Now that TOM is over I'm looking forward to more losses.  :)  

Weigh-In ... TOM

Weight Today:  229.5

Total lost so far:  -1.5

I'm about 3 days into "that time of the month" and so while I should be happy to be down a half of a pound from last week, I'm just feeling fat in general and like I'm never going to lose the weight.  I'll be better when my hormones aren't clogging up my thinking.  

A good chat with my friend, Stephanie, yesterday encouraged me that I can do this.  

So, to stay on the positive side... I did workout four times last week and I drank at least 32 ounces of water daily.   

Here's to getting over this yucky week and getting back to "normal".  :)
