Weigh In for January 24, 2009
Posted January 25th, 2009 by Jeff J. SniderI weighed in yesterday morning as usual, but I didn’t have time to write about it until now. And even now, I don’t have much time, so it will be short.
Weight: 352, down 1.2 pounds from last week. Yes, it’s progress. No, I’m not happy about it. Between another interview and two lunches to offer jobs to two of the candidates from last week, I ate out three more times this week. We only have one scheduled for this week (so far), so that should improve. I also tried to steer the group towards places that I know have good salads, and I will continue that this week. (If any of you in Utah County know of good salads, please let me know.)
Exercise went pretty well, as we did every night except Wednesday again, I think. I can feel my endurance starting to pick up, but I still feel like there is a lot I can do to make my workouts more effective.
This week, I really felt like only stepping on the scale once a week killed my momentum. In a long week, by the time Thursday or Friday rolls around, you can hardly remember what Saturday morning was like. So I am leaning towards still having my official weigh-in once a week, but being free to check the scale whenever I want throughout the week. I think I will limit myself to first-thing-in-the-morning scale checks, just so there is consistency, but I think I’ll let myself check every morning if I want to. The challenge in that is my original reasoning for going to the weekly weigh-ins: I have a tendency to let my previous day’s progress (or lack thereof) negatively affect my diligence on any given day. I will be trying my best to reverse that, so a positive day will serve as momentum, and a negative day will serve as a kick in the pants.
Finally, if anyone else wants to join in the weekly weigh-ins, feel free to post in the comments. I would be happy for this site to turn into a place where a bunch of us have accountability to each other, instead of just me having accountability to you guys.
Snider out.
