Weigh In 22
I actually forgot about weighing in for a little bit. Eesh. You take one week off and your mind goes to fluff… BUT I do have the numbers, though they are not very exciting.
SW: 256
LW: 252
CW: 253
Not happy. Not happy at all. My scale sucks, so I could be at 254. I’m considering buying a digital scale to get rid of the uncertainty, but I don’t know if the more exact measures would drive me nuts or not…
Today I’m letting myself have a day just to be pissed off. I’m not going off and hauling into a carton of ice cream, but I’m not going to berate myself for feeling sorry for myself. I’m going to be pissed off and that’s that. I don’t think denying I’m upset about a gain – a gain! Despite all my hard work! – is going to do my any good. I need to get the feelings out of my system so I can get back to it soon.
Needless to say, though, I’m getting more and more eager for my appointments next month. I really want to do/take whatever is necessary so I can get my system back into swing.
I’m just trying to keep in mind that by keeping going now, I’m keeping in place the good habit I’ve set up. Better to have them there and working for me while I get my system balanced/fixed than to start from scratch next month.
And now for my minutes of exercise update…
I’m still quite behind where I should be as far as minutes go, but I had to take Sunday off because it was obvious my body was in need of a rest. I’ve also figured out that, for right now, twenty minutes continuous is pretty much my limit.
Instead of continuing to stress out my body, I’ve decided to do thirty minutes a day by breaking it up into ten minute sections three times a day. I’m not stressing my body so much that way and I’m getting in even more exercise time.
How is everyone else doing?

First off you MUST get a good digital scale. I had one like yours and it was always off. Sometimes by just a pound sometimes five. Very disheartening.
Second, let yourself be upset about it. Otherwise you’ll dwell on it instead of fixing it.
Right now I’m up about 4 pounds due to my period and constipation (TMI I know) but it sucks and I’m pissed. I’m just going to have to drink my water like a fish and hope I can get it back off.
And 20 minutes continuous is good! But I have also heard that splitting your exercise is good too for keeping your metabolism constantly running.

I’m all about progress and I’m definitely making some… Most importantly, I’m enjoying myself! Well done for finding something that works for you!

Jenera - I’d love to - I’m just slowly talking the husband into getting one.
Thank you for the TOM reminder. That could be it. I don’t get the, erm, messy part of it, but I do get everything else. I’ll have to check and see if maybe it’s time…
Hubsy says that breaking it up will be much better over all, and I think he’s right. I’m stressing my body too much with the one block. I’m proud of my accomplishment, but I’m ready to get more realistic for the long run.
Hanlie - Awesome. I think enjoying yourself is a huge, if not the most important, part of getting fit.
