Don't weigh yourself before bed. Especially if you weighed yourself in the morning. I just stepped off the scale, and it told me I'd gained three pounds over the course of the day. O_o And while I know it's just weight fluctuation and digesting food, I liked this morning's number much better.
Anyway!
It's been nearly a week since my last update. And what a week. After dropping three pounds in as many days, I thought I was done -- especially once the weekend started. It was not kind to me, though I did try. Weekends are difficult around here because everyone is home, and our eating schedules get thrown all out of whack. Then there's the "fun" aspect of the weekend, at least in regards to food. We want to do something special for lunch on Saturday. And Sunday evening has always been "fun food" night. Usually someone will run up to Zaxby's. This weekend it was a $5 pizza from Little Caesar's. So amid all that I didn't think I'd fared too well. It was with some fear and trepidation that I stepped on the scale Monday afternoon.
Would you believe it? It told me I'd lost 6.8 pounds last week. THREE MORE than what I'd counted on Thursday. I thought Sarah would start cartwheeling she was so excited, though I was too shocked to do much of anything, lol. Who in the world has a 6.8 loss in one week?? Isn't that usually for people who eat lettuce and work out like crazy? But hey. I'm more than happy to claim it. At this rate, I should hit my 5% goal sometime this week -- well before my birthday deadline.
Due to dropping into the 270's, I've also dropped a point. So now my daily value is 37 points -- still plenty to eat well (and things that I like) without having to delve into the flex points. I would imagine that as more points drop that will probably change. One of the biggest "point wasters" is the real mayo on my turkey sandwiches. I keep it at a serving, but three points for one tablespoon of the stuff is a bit much. And yes, I've tried fat free mayo. And it's nasty. Like, revolting nasty. If only I liked mustard...
Guess that's a bridge I'll cross when it comes.
Again, thank you guys SO MUCH for all your love and support. I seriously couldn't do this without all the encouragement. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you for it!
And I totally would have done cartwheels if there was room in my livingroom! Thanks for keeping me out of the cookie jar today =). And before I get accused of being Wade, I'm not; I'm just to tired to log on as myself. Goodnight and well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear about your success so far.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
Yeah, weighing/measuring yourself at the end of the day is the worst idea ever. Always do it first thing in the morning, before you eat anything, lol. I've measured my waist in the morning before, and it gained an inch by bedtime, but then it was back down to normal the next morning. It's weird.
