Wake-up call
Wow, the scale gave me the proof that I overindulged this weekend. Earlier last week I had gotten down to 282.5 from an official weigh-in weight last Monday of 284. This morning I was at 285.0. I feel comfortable dropping .5 from this weight because I wasn’t able to weigh in the same way I normally do but that still doesn’t post a loss. I’m almost glad, now I can’t stray from the plan and still feel like I can lose weight. So now my mind is refocused and I am going to do this the right way.
Even though the weight is higher I can tell I have gotten smaller. And my body feels better because I am exercising regularly. Keeping those goals in mind I am going to go forward with my day, one day closer to being thin and healthy.
I think it’s important to use the scale as only a PART of your evaluation of how you’re doing. The fact that you are being consistent w exercise is MAJOR, and worthy of serious applause & congratulations!
Did you know that most successful losers attack EITHER diet OR exercise as a first step, but not BOTH at the same time. Once you have one down, you can start to work on the other, but doing both full-steam is often a recipe for burnout…
I think you’re on a winning streak!
