Yes, it is officially a loss this week of almost a pound, however what you guys don't know is that the first week of the "no scale" experiment I actually ballooned up to 245. Kind of why I wanted to go "scale free." I was embarrassed by it, but it kicked my butt into high gear. It's what prompted me to figuratively smack myself and get back on track. That first week I got back down to 241 and I have stayed there. (I actually peeked this past Sunday and had really gotten down to 239, but the first few days in Memphis have obviously changed that!).
So, I've learned a couple of things these past few weeks:
1.) When I count calories and exercise, I lose weight. Plain and simple.
2.) I can't go without a scale. Even though I wasn't posting weigh ins, I was most definitely checking on myself to make sure I was on track.
3.) That I did need to kick up my exercise routines. I'm doing a minimum of 60 minutes, 4 times a week and trying to get in extra sessions beyond that. Even if its just walking on a treadmill while I catch up on TV, it's burning calories.
4.) That I need to try and get as many of my workouts done in the morning.
Okay, so that's what I've learned these past few weeks. Here's to hoping that I can continue to at least maintain this week here in Memphis and I don't let the smells of barbecue wafting over from Beale Street deter me. Next week we have kitchens again, so I expect to drop some weight again next week. I want to get to the 230s and STAY THERE!!!
It will happen.
I weigh several times a week. it works for me.
