Usually, I avoid the scale. I see it in the bathroom as a beacon signaling for me to step on and see my weight and I run. Now, when I vowed to weigh in once a week, it seems as if I am drawn to the scale. But I hold off, it's hard, but I hold off.
January 9, 2011
Weight: 250.4
Total loss: 4.6
Measurements: Still have to get to it
Mood: Feeling Good
Exercise: Did tread mill yesterday (30 min), will see what today brings.
I guess I expected more weight loss this week. I've been following the program, eating a ton of veggies, drinking my water. But I'm over forty, peri menopausal, so I guess it's going to be slower.
I am not exercising like I should, that I know. This week that is one of my personal goals- get to the gym or do the dance game on the XBox Kinect-take the dog for a walk. Anything to get the blood moving, pulse increasing.
Part of my motivation is to be healthier and at my age, in the stage I'm at, I need to exercise. I look at my parents who are still young and see their health problems--many due to weight and unhealthy eating habits. I do not want to be that way. I can't be that way. I want to enjoy my retirement with my husband, children and grandchildren. If I keep on this track - the WW track - I will succeed and be healthy. If not, I'm doomed to repeat the mistakes of my parents.
When do you weigh in? Everyday, once a week, whenever?
Be Healthy!
