January 28th, 2008 - weigh in
It’s that time of the week again, the official weigh-in. It’s actually a little lower than I expected, so that’s nice. So, the official weight for this week is 338.4, which is down 3.4 pounds since last week. I’m not sure I’m really happy with a scale that does .2 changes. I think I’m almost a little obsessive about the changes. No matter, since I like the scale, it’s very consistent. I actually got a late start this morning, but managed to squeeze in 45 minutes on the treadmill before the lunch break (coming soon). That’s kind of my punishment for not getting out of bed earlier. I really like doing the 2 x 30 minute sessions, but if I’m late starting I’ve decided I’ll do the 45 minutes.
I don’t have much else to say today, so I’ll just get going with the rest of my day. I have a job interview tomorrow (they just confirmed it) in the late morning so we’ll see how that goes. I still have very mixed emotions about it. I’m getting way ahead of myself, we’ll see how it goes tomorrow.
round - yes, I love clementines. From the first time they’re available until the last possible box we both eat them every morning. Global shipping has increased the length of time they are available here, which is wonderful. It’s funny, but when they aren’t around an orange is a poor substitute.
I’ve been reading over your blog… very interesting story. I think you should be very very proud of yourself! You’re doing great!
3.4 down in one week! That’s terrific! Nicely done!
3.4 pounds - wow, congrats!!!
It’s funny, I go weeks and weeks on clementines and then suddenly I wanted “real” oranges this week (I bought both). I think I was vit-C depleted. Now that I’ve had 3 oranges in 2 days, the itch is scratched and the clementines look better to me…
3.4 - Thats Fabulous!! You are doing great! Good luck tomorrow (just in case it ends up being something you want).
Wow, 3.4!!! Man, if I dropped 3.4 pounds in one week I’d do the happy dance all the way to the next weigh-in! Coming from someone who is currently stalled, that number is wonderful! You are well on your way, consider yourself lucky to be losing so much in one week!
I’ll probably address the comments in my evening post, but I was going to point something out. The loss of 3.4 lbs divided by last week’s weight of 341.8 comes to just about 1% lost. I was reading something a while ago that suggested the generic 1-2 pounds wasn’t really a good number. That as dieters we should strive for between 0.5% and 1.0% per week.
So if you’re 150 lbs that should be between .75 of a pound and 1.5 pounds. It actually makes more sense that way. Unfortunately I can’t find the original article (it may have been from flakes-r-us).
Congrats on the loss! Wow, over 3 pounds? I’m jealous. My scale isn’t being very nice to me (I deserve it though)! You should be so very proud!
