Weigh-in, postponed

Just wanted to drop in and say that I have changed my weigh in to Wednesday to coincide with a Biggest Loser challenge I'm participating in. I have had so much anxiety about not losing enough weight (I've lost 20 pounds in six weeks...so it's irrational...but still!) that I am not going to weigh twice. I'm using my Wii Fit, but I'm only doing the body test once a week as well. I have to trust in working out and eating right to see results.

See you next Wednesday...or sooner if something strikes me.

Weigh In, Week Seven

Last week, I weighed 232.3. Today, I weighed 228.0...

But, lest you think I had a phenomenal week...I changed methods of weighing in. We bought a Wii and Wii Fit. Part of the daily body testing is weight. So I decided that it was pointless to weigh myself twice. That, and well...my other scale (digital) seems unable to move this week and I don't know how to put in new batteries to see if the ones in it are dying or if my weight is just super-stable this last week.

I've committed to putting in 30 minutes of cardio on the Wii Fit six days a week, plus three days of strength exercises with 15 minutes above and beyond the cardio, and three days of balance exercises above and beyond.

Ultimately, I am seeing a difference in the way my clothes fit. I have a dress in my closet that I am close to fitting into that will be my Easter dress. I just have to stay on target to get there. Today, I'm battling my own stupidity of allowing ice cream into the house. I have not crumbled, but still...what was I thinking????
