My Computer Died... I had some kind of failure and I had to take the computer into the shop. I am so happy to have it back! Apparently, blogging serves to be a bit of a motivator for me. Knowing I couldn't post and therefore wasn't as "accountable" somehow, I slipped a bit and had a very wild week in terms of out-of-control eating. That's the bad news. The good news is, I kept up with my walking and managed to reach my goal of walking for 30 minutes per day for five days last week! Consequently, I still showed a two pound loss for the week. WOOT! On weigh-in frequencies... I think you lovely ladies are right in that I should only weigh myself once a week. But I still like the routine of checking first thing in the morning. Not only does it remind me that I am on a journey, it also helps me understand how my body reacts to different situations. I have noticed already that I can count on a 5 or 6 pound gain the week before my period. It doesn't freak me out at all - somehow, at 340+, anything less than 10 pounds really seems negligible. Unless it's a loss, then I still get excited. Anyway, my point is this: I will continue to check daily just to see what's up, but I will only log my weight every Saturday. Eventually, I may just stop the daily thing, especially if I start to get emotional about it. Tomorrow I will review the Bellydance DVD. Until then, wish me less! |
