Update 11

My plan of attack -

I was the same weight for about half of the week last week to halfway through this week. I hope I'm not plateauing.  I lost 4 inches this week, so hopefully I'm not plateauing.
Because of that,  I switched it up with my workouts this week. I'm  doing multiple small workouts throughout the day. I kind of let myself get a little crazy with eating too because I was craving chocolate like nuts and I was always hungry. I bought a pack of girl scout cookies, and between me and my kids, we ate them all. I did count the points for them though. Hopefully the switch-up broke the plateau, but we'll have to see. Next week, 1 youtube workout a day added to my usual routine, back to plan with eating, and no more boxes of GS cookies. (I figured one box a season is enough.)

Feeling good about your weight loss

Another blogger I follow mentioned something in a post the  other day and I thought I'd share my thoughts on it with you.
She was complaining about being down, despite her weight loss, because of the large yet-to-be-lost numbers.

I think we all feel this way. It comes from looking at the big picture too long and hard. Well, I say screw the big picture! lol. Look at the little one.

Think to yourself  "This week I lost 1 lb. That's an awesome loss. I also found a workout I really love. Next week I'll do the same or better."

Don't focus on the 40 50 or 100 lbs left to lose. If you look at the big picture too often, it will feel impossible. But even that is not so horrible if you look at it the right way.
Personally, I have 75 lbs to lose (roughly). I'm 23 lbs down which means I'm 1/3 the way there. Awesome. I don't focus on the other 50 lbs, because they will depress me and might make me quit. After all, they say you can greatly improve your health by just losing 10% of your body weight. For most of us, that's about 20lbs or so. I'm coming up to my 10% and I'm excited to see it come and go, for my health, for my children, for my husband, and for my inner sense of sex appeal (which took a hit with my recent allergic reaction, but is coming back).
Focus on that 10%, then focus on the next. Don't focus on the big picture.

That's the only advice I have for you. Aim small, look at the negative in a positive way, and be proud of yourself for doing more now that you did during the years when you let yourself gain the weight. You'll feel much better about it.
Good luck everyone and I hope you have a great week of weight loss.

Week Six



My plan of attack -


I plan to work on getting in my floorwork. I have been doing daily situps and pushups, etc... since I started this. This week, however, I fell flat with it. i need to pick it up again. I haven't decided if I'm going to do interval training yet. I need to research how much variety is needed in a weekly routine to keep losing at an optimal rate.

Week Five



My plan of attack -


I feel I did pretty well this week. I ate all the points I should, and other than some fast food and a little snacking, I ate good foods.
This week I will focus on lowering my stress level, yeah right, and getting my schedule back on track so I can get everything done from writing, to cleaning, to playtime with my kids, and more. I need to focus on eating more healthy protein though. I'm also adding upper hips (love handles) to the measurements. I measured it the first week, but didn't mark it down, and since it's a problem spot, I think I should.

Week Four



My plan of attack -


Not sure why, but several days I must have not saved because my food didn't log on the page, but this week I ate less points than I should. Stress kept me from eating. This week I will focus on getting enough to eat, lowering my stress level, if possible, and drinking more water.

Week Three

 


My plan of attack -


 Not sure what happened, but the blog didn't save sat or sun, but I stayed lower than 40 points each day. It said there was an error.
This week I noticed that my snacking was reduced. I also noticed that I'm drinking too much coffee, which is alarming because I just read how bad coffee (even without anything in it) is bad for dieters. Back to water and green tea, I think. I hope all that coffee doesn't affect my weight. Ugh. I'm nervous now. lol

 My plan of attack for the week is the same as last week. More stir fry. No coffee. Interval training on weekends. More vigilant counting of points. No going over.

Anyhow.
I worked my bottom off and I've decided that, since my reflection day comes before my weighin day, I should do my measurements. So below are my beginning measurements. The ones I took today anyhow.

To weigh or not to weigh, that is the question

I wondered, when I started this diet, if I should weigh every day. I quickly realized that, for me, weekly weigh ins are better.
The proof came a few days ago (the day after weigh in) when I snuck onto the scale to see if I'd met my 10lb goal. I'd gained weight, and I started scouring my food logs and thinking of changes I should make, but then I realized... My time of the month had just started. The weight gain was from that.
I decided then that I would only weigh once a week. No matter how much I'd like to crack into a goal reward, I'm just going to have to wait. Then I can look forward to an honest number and adjust things accordingly. Plus, it takes away that horrible daily yoyo feel of bouncing between yay, I lost and oh no, I gained.
The only real problem I have with it is, it's so hard to wait a week... Is it Tuesday yet? ;)
What do you do? Weigh once a day, week, month?
