Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 4, 2015

Why did I cave and weigh myself today? Why? I'd planned on weighing in on Wednesday, but wanted to see my weight go below 200 so I weighed myself.

UGH. So annoyed. How in the world can I have gained weight?!? I'm eating at my calories (except NYE and I didn't go too crazy), drinking an ocean of water and getting more steps into my day than I ever have before. It isn't muscle because I've added no strength training yet.

If I didn't need it for DB, I might have thrown the stupid thing in the pool. From no on, no more weighing in during the week unless it is required for a DB game.

Now, to not let this sabotage my entire day.

I only weigh on Saturdays unless its needed for a weigh in. You got this. The scale is only feedback.

Thanks for sharing, I know it can be a battle with the scale. Never be afraid to do a weigh in though. My best advice is this, and its what I do. 1) weigh your self at the same time every time. Weight fluctuates threw out the day. Best time is right after you wake up and use the bathroom. That will be closest to your true weight. 2) Set a day to do your weigh in. I do mine on Sundays. This way I can set weekly goals and keep track. In this bet I need about 8 lbs to lose. So every Sunday I should be 2 lbs less, if I am not, I look back at the week see what I did that week and re evaluate and adjust for the next week. Also this helps you stay accountable to yourself. and if you crush your weekly goals it makes you fell like a winner every week and who does not like that! Anyway, Keep it up and don't let the scale and your weight control you, you take control and show them who is the boss!
