Weigh-In for March 7, 2009
Posted March 8th, 2009 by Jeff J. SniderSubtitle for this week’s post:
TOP 4 REASONS I’M GLAD I ONLY GAINED 0.8 POUNDS THIS WEEK
- I only really went to the gym twice. Monday was my consultation with the trainer, so it was mostly talking and only a couple minutes of exercising. I wasn’t feeling well on Tuesday or Friday, so Wednesday and Thursday were my only gym days.
- Our treadmill is broken, so we didn’t do any exercising together here at home. We went for a couple walks, but nothing very intense.
- Logan’s birthday was on Monday, and we bought a Costco cake. Long story about my own personal weaknesses short, I ate multiple pieces of cake throughout the week.
- One of the things I discussed with the trainer was that your body needs regular fuel to burn fat throughout the day, so she recommended that I eat small amounts every two or three hours. I did a lot better at the “eating every two or three hours” than I did at “eating small amounts.”
So all things considered, I was actually relieved to step on the scale and see 346.8. It’s obviously not progress, but it could have been worse.
I am going to Texas for a week or so on the 13th, but as soon as I get back, I will begin working regularly with the trainer. I really enjoyed talking with her and learning a little bit more about the science of weight loss, and I am confident that a combination of better tracking of what I eat and a more scientific approach to exercise will get me back to losing four or five pounds a week, which is what I need to be doing at this point.
