Gonna try a new stragedy

Posted October 23, 2006 * Comments(3)

I am hoping this will work and not backfire on me  I am thinking of weighing myself once a month instead of once a week. And here is why…

I have been battling the same pound for about a month right now and shouldn’t be. Instead of concentrating on that 1 lousy pound, I need to concentrate on my program and exercising. If I focus on my routine, rather than how I’m going to lose that lousy pound this week, I think it might work. I’m gonna try it out. I think this just might be doable for me because I’m not obsessed with the scale and really don’t *like* to weigh myself. BUT, I think this will make me more aware of how I will be doing because only *I* know whether or not I am sticking to the program, and drinking all of my water, and exercising. I hold myself solely accountable for what I am doing so I think that it will make me more strict on myself.

So, today is my last weigh in until November 13th. I keep thinking about how much I can lose in a month if I just stick with what I know how to do and getting on that scale a month later seeing a big number loss just seems SOOOO motivational…kwim? I have never done this before, so this is something I may need. Wish me luck

Back to basics

I keep telling myself I need to get myself back into a routine but today, I have officially done it. Anytime I go off program, I get into a funk and it’s very hard to get motivated again. I had to force myself today to get back into the groove of things because I have several challenges that I participate in that I NEED to make sure I can meet at least CLOSE to what I set out to do. SO, today has been pretty good so far. I had my coffee and oatmeal for breakfast and downed my first 16oz of water, getting ready to go exercise. I think I will start off by dusting off my recumbent bike and riding that for 15 min as a warm up before I do my exercise dvd. I ended up losing my redstar *again* at this weeks weigh in, so I need to get it back this week…LOL.

I definately miss my walks outside but it’s just too cold to have my 3 yr old sit in the stroller for that long, especially when it’s hard to bundle her up in a umbrella stroller that she is just about outgrown. Next fall, she will be in preschool, so I can go for my walks alone then…I love walking outside in the fall weather. There is something about it that gets my motivation going…can’t explain it.

Anyway, time to go and get my big booty movin!
