So this week I weighed myself yesterday pre-lunch and I was at 119.6kg and this morning post breakfast and drinking water and I was shock! horror! 120kgs.
What do I make of this? Well obviously I am disappointed seeing I was so excited yesterday by taking a sneak peak and seeing favourable results only to see a higher figure the next morning. However, I have recorded myself down for 120kgs and not 119.6kgs as I think thats only accurate seeing I weigh myself on Sundays. I also began thinking that it was probably not a great idea for me to get weight obsessed so early in the game and that it was important for me to focus more on my lifestyles than weight. So one step I have taken is to get my husband to record my weight starting next Sunday without showing it to me. I will of course check my weight before my appointment with the naturopath on 31 Jan as I will be discussing this with her but after that I will only be reviewing this fortnightly with an aim to checking my weight monthly only. This way I am focussing on being the best that I can be and not getting waylaid my falling into the abyss of shattering with less results or a gain. I just want to focus on basing my self confidence on the knowledge that I am doing my best. I did weigh myself a few times in the past week which already indicates to me that I am veering towards the dangerzone of revolving around a figure which I absolutely do not want to do. Punctuality is another lesson learned. If I am weighing myself it needs to be first thing in the morning and not randomly at any time during the day.
For me to succeed without looking at the weighing scales all the time or even weekly, I will need to write out a food diary. This I have not been doing. So that has to start from tomorrow and ideally even today. This will keep me in check and tell me where I can trim the fat and do better. Moving my arse is another area that I have been sorot of sluggish in. So 50 mins of exercise per day it is going to have to be. I have already downloaded the 'Couchto5k' on my iphone and I will not be running just yet but in a fortnight I certainly hope so as by then I should be accustomed to do so.
Last but not the least, a pat on the back for losing .60. I know I would have liked more but hey considering I did eat some carb during the course of the week and considering I have not started walking just yet (yeah I am not counting my daily ambles to and fro the shops etc as I stop to make purchases etc), I will take it. It tells me also that I must be on the right track and just have to continue the good work and lift the game a little bit. So I will take the .60 loss gladly and am looking forward to breaking that 120 and getting into the teens in terms of weightloss.
Happy health to all.
