Weigh-in Wednesday 5: The “But it’s Thursday” Edition

I was out sick from work yesterday, but I dragged my butt to the scale early in the morning, I just didn’t post about it.

Thoughts off the scale

I have high hopes for this week. I feel like I did a lot of things right.

Weight goals

Small goals: a pound a week, slow and steady.

Larger goal: 199, to be below 200 for the first time in my adult life.

Overall goal: Not sure about this yet, I really don’t like to look too far ahead because it all starts to feel overwhelming and nearly impossible. I know it’s not, so I’m going to hold off on a long-range goal.

Starting Weight: 227

Last Week’s Weight: 223.8

Today’s Weight: 221.8

Loss this week: 2lbs

Total loss: 5.2 lbs

Thoughts after the scale:  Yay!!!!!


 


Weigh-in Wednesday 4: The But I Don’t Wanna Edition

 

Mirror update: Check for a post in a little bit that actually contains fairly recent (Tuesday 3/13) full body photographs. Still no mirror.

Thoughts off the scale

I did better with eating this week. My only real indulgence was Texas Roadhouse. But I kind of resented everything about working out and eating right this week, because I think I have looked the same for a while and I want everything to GO. FASTER. Without, of course, reducing my calorie intake. My body seems to be holding on to everything, but a few friends have told me this is a part of the process, so I’ll just keep slogging on. Dear Spare Tire–I won’t quit, you can’t make me. So no matter what the scale says this week, there’s next week and the next….I’ll get it right eventually.

Thoughts after the scale: Gee, that number looks familiar. ::Sigh:: Well, a pound down is a pound down, even if it is one I thought I already lost once, right?  Today starts a clean slate.

I MAY NOT BE THE LIGHTEST

Do you ever have weeks where even the things that are always easy seem hard?
