Weekly Weigh-in - July 27th, 2008
Okay, trying for some consistency between the blog and the log so I’ve settled on a 9-week chart that I can post on both. Normally I post the default 9-week one from FitDay, but I kind of like the idea of circling the Sunday weights so I’ll do that (until I get bored with it I suppose). So I’m combining the post I usually make on my blog Sunday mornings with the chart I ended up doing for the log a couple of weeks ago.
I don’t know where the almost 2-lb gain came from on Saturday morning (water obviously), but some of it is off today (but not all). So, Sunday to Sunday loss this week is 1.4lbs. I’m okay with that as the 9-week loss is 19lbs even (2.11/week) which is usually the ‘number’ I look at to see how things are going overall. The other little compulsive number I look at is how many days I’ve been ‘on plan’ primarily with food. I still consider the maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So, since I started keeping track this is day 199 on plan with food.
That steady downward trend is wonderful to see in a graph! It’s such a great representation of your progress — and of your effort. That’s your determination and your personal power to make positive change represented in that graph! Awesome!
It’s also neat to see the little ups and downs represented over time like that - I personally like weighing in every day and I know that means I’ll see those ups and downs as they happen.
I like seeing the ups and downs. I’d probably be a little disappointed if I hadn’t seen the jump on Saturday morning. And if it hadn’t come down a bit this morning I would have wondered what I’d done wrong for the week.
