Weekly Weigh-In: The One I Forgot
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
Happy Wednesday! Are you ready for your weekly weigh-in? Remember, you can come back and add your weigh-in results in the comments whenever you have your regular weekly weigh-in. Let’s hold each other accountable!
Okay, so I guess I’m not quite used to weighing in on Tuesdays. I completely forgot to weigh in! I remembered around 11:00, which is after breakfast and two hours after my normal weigh-in time.
I lost 0.4 pounds. Nothing too exciting, but certainly better than not losing or, worse, gaining. I’ll take it. I am going to weigh again in the morning, before breakfast, at my regular time. If I remember! If it’s a big difference, I’ll post an update.
I was really surprised that was all I lost with all the running I’ve been doing. I haven’t been tracking my food as diligently as I was. By that I mean I haven’t been writing everything down. I have been trying to keep a mental count.
That’s a little bit time – or, rather, not taking time to do it – and a little bit trying to prepare myself for the rest of my life. I’m committed to the fact that I’ll always have to remain active – which doesn’t sound like such a bad thing anymore – and to the fact that I’ll always have to count calories.
I’m just kind of hoping that always counting calories doesn’t mean I’ll always have to log everything I eat. I hope I can get to the point where I can mentally hold myself accountable for what I eat. We’ll see how the next few weigh-ins go with this experiment.
What about you? How did your weekly weigh-in go?
Kris Bales is a newly-retired homeschool mom and the quirky, Christ-following, painfully honest founder (and former owner) of Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers. She has a pretty serious addiction to sweet tea and Words with Friends. Kris and her husband of over 30 years are parents to three amazing homeschool grads. They share their home with three dogs, two cats, a ball python, a bearded dragon, and seven birds.
That's my theory — any loss is better than a gain! It really stunk when I was stuck at pretty much the same thing for about 3 weeks though. :-/
This week though — waaaahhhooooo!! — I lost 3.2 lbs! I was truly astonished, especially since we were traveling this weekend. I've finally hit my 30 lb goal, 30.8 to be exact. Now I'm off and running to 40. 🙂
Woo hoo, Noodle!! It's those big loss weeks that can keep you going sometimes. They restore your confidence that you CAN do this and you CAN lose more than 1/2 a pound a week. At least, they do for me. Congrats on hitting that new milestone!
Well done Noodle and you too Kris – I'm sure you were raging that you forgot – I always have to set out the scale the night before or I'd never remember.
I'm down another pound (that's ten total in twelve weeks) and although less than one a week is not huge – I am ecstatic because I finally feel like I CAN lose this weight!
I'm currently 13st 6lbs or 188lbs, another two pounds off and I'll hit my first mini-goal!
