Weekly Weigh-In: Spinning My Wheels
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
Is it Wednesday again already? Where did the week go? It’s time to weigh in. Remember, if you weigh in on a different day, I’d still love for you to stop by and post your results whenever you’ve got them.
As for me…{sigh}. I thought I’d maintained, but I actually gained 0.2 pound. That isn’t much and I actually thought, until I double-checked, that I’d lost 0.2 of a pound and I was still going to say that I’d maintained because that’s really just normal fluctuation.
It’s different when it’s a gain, though. Two weeks in a row. When you’d said that wasn’t going to happen anymore.
I don’t know if I’ve gotten lazy with my eating habit or my workouts or if my body just seems to like 132 as a set point. I can’t say that I’m terribly upset by that, though I would like to reach my goal weight.
The same thing happened to me around 162, though. I stayed there for months before I finally started losing again.
While it’s frustrating to have to keep reporting tiny little gains and tiny little loses and while it’s frustrating not to be at my goal weight, it’s really hard to be upset with 132 pounds when I started out at 220. I never thought I’d see 132 again.
So, I’ll just keep plugging away.
Do or do not. There is no try.
