I'm really getting discouraged. I think I need to try something new. It's not the tracking that's bothering me, it's the weighing. The scale went up again folks. I know why, I ate Panera for lunch yesterday, and I didn't eat lightly. I had a steak and blue cheese half salad, and broccoli cheese soup, with the bagette, of course. I know I could have had healthier options, but I can't say no when it comes to that broccoli cheese soup and bagette! The salad was eh, but I ate it all anyway. I was full, but Panera has such delicious bagels! I just had to get one! I only ate half, but I didn't really need it. I chugged water for the rest of the day, and had a pretty light dinner.
I'm still up 0.6 this morning. No, it's not a huge gain, but I am so sick of being stuck in the high 150s for 4 months! That's rediculous!!! So, what do I do? I mentioned a few weeks ago about getting to worried what the scale says that if it goes up, that sets my mood for the week, or at least the day. I stay on track, but I still just want that scale to go down.
I think, starting in May, I'm going to go to bi-weekly weigh ins. We'll see how that goes, and I might even go to monthly weigh ins. I really should start taking progress pictures, and tracking measurements. My life is too busy for that right now though. I know, I shouldn't push my health to the side, but until school is over, that has to come first. I'm going to aim to get to the gym twice each week, for about 40 minutes each time. After school is over, I'll aim to get there 4-5 times each week, and actually focus on progressing somewhere - running again, weights, yoga. But all that good stuff has to wait until May 12 and my finals are over.
On another note, I have something to mention:
1. We do owe those taxes because our jobs didn't withhold enough MD taxes - bummer.

Do you like the new blog? Any suggestions for it?
Do you track measurements, pictures, weigh yourself? How often?
your new design is super cute! i love orange and blue together.
ReplyDeleteI also feel for you about the weigh-in... I am really struggling to to stay on track with WW. In fact, since I re-joined WW i've GAINED over 10 pounds. I just can't seem to get my head in the game.
I like the new blog design! If you could make the font bigger, that would be super :)
ReplyDeleteI love those baguettes at Panera!
Hey girl! I have really been struggling too. Despite marathon training I have gained weight because I have been saying to myself, "I can eat this because i'm training for a marathon" I reset my Weight history and my first goal is to stay OP for an entire week. I have been slacking with this. Hard core. If I make this I am going to buy myself a new workout outfit. (I could use another set anyway). When I make my "5%" I am going to buy myself a new pair of work pants (also another thing I could use).
ReplyDelete.6 isn't to bad. hang in there.
