Well, my weigh in went okay this morning. No, I didn't lose 10.5 lbs this week. I lost 1.5 lbs again this week. I still expect to see those biggest loser numbers on the scale when I step on it. Of course, that has never happened, but I still think it's going too. I'm optimistic like that! It's okay though, I have more time than they do! Today, I weighed 272.5. Once again, I'm sure it will be less tomorrow. :) The good news is that I've reached that 10 lb mark. My hubby also reached that mark today!
So, I'm really putting the scale away today. Out of sight, out of mind, right?! I stress all week about the scale. I haven't gained weight yet, I'm doing everything right, and sticking to my goals. So, I shouldn't have to check in with the scale everyday!
On the note of the scale: Yesterday, I was reading a blog on calorie count about weighing in. I guess I thought that my weigh in ritual was abnormal. That I was a little obsessive, but apparently not! This lady would wake up at 4:00 in the morning just to weigh in. She must have had more faith in a loss than I do. Anyways, she said (don't quote me) she looks into the mirror, convinces herself she looks thinner, steps onto the scale, does NOT look down, waits about 5 min., steps off the scale, and then reads it. Well, what do you know? I don't wake up at 4 in the morning to weigh in, but the rest of my ritual is about the same. I expect more people are like this than I thought. Maybe I'm not so abnormal. Dieting is stressful and having to weigh in is even more stressful.
So, over all, my weigh in this morning was a good one. I'm going to keep doing what I have been doing....it seems to be working. I'm losing weight and it fit's into my lifestyle.
I am going to "hide" the scale today. I think that will be good for both of us.
Also, week one, we took pictures of ourselves in our swimming attire. Yuck! But, that's what you always see on those shows......speak of the devil, a commercial just came on for weight loss and the chick has a bikini on......see, I told you...... So, we (mostly me....I think my hubby only did it for support) decided that we would take pictures in our swimming suits. I wore my worst bikini and he got off easy with shorts. We set it up so we would be able to repeat the process; the same distance away every time, same setting on the camera, wear the same clothes. Every month we are going to take a new picture. It'll be our picture journal. Someday, I'm sure I'll be happy about it, but not right now!
Anyways, the reason I told you all of that is because this is the beginning of week 4 and at the end of this week, not only do we have to weigh, but we have to take another picture. That's worse than the scale! :)
My goal is to get under 270 this week. I really want to be in the 60's! Keep your fingers crossed! I'll have to lose more than I have in the past two weeks to reach that goal, but I think I can do it! It's worse a try anyways..... :)
