Well its Friday and time for my weekly weigh in. Now I said on Monday that I had stopped weighing myself everyday because the deviations from day to day were stressful and were not a true reflection of what I was doing, and when I got on the scale and it read a pound heavier than I was the previous Friday AND 2 pounds from the Sunday, I knew that I couldn't, and shouldn't, trust it as it would only bring me down. Now to be honest, because of my frustration with seeing that extra weight on Monday, I did step on the scale Wednesday. I know, I know, you said you'd only weigh yourself on Fridays, but it was killing me. So I did it anyway. And it read: 201.5lbs. That's a 3 pound drop from just 2 days before. More proof that daily weighing isn't a good thing.
Since I felt that my true weight from the previous Friday was 203.5lbs, I used that as my benchmark when I stepped on the scale today. The reading? 201lbs. A 2.5lbs drop in a week. Am I happy? You're God damned right I am! I've been sacrificing all week, feeling hungry, going to the gym religiously and doing my full workout. I deserved to see some good news on the scale! My goal was to reach 201 by the end of this week so I'm satisfied.
My goal for next week is to be under 200lbs. Even if I weigh in at 199.5, I'll be happy. I have thought if this is an unrealistic goal but I've decided it is not. I've been eating really well lately and avoided the pitfalls that I would normally fall into. I had a good weekend last and despite the long weekend coming up, I'm feeling confident. I do have pizza on the brain but Red is sick and there's no point in indulging in something that she simply isn't going to enjoy. So for dinner, I had leftover chicken. I had a light day consisting of apples, pears and a Fibre 1 bar so I'm doing pretty well so far. I plan on enjoying some fruit this evening as a snack and a few drinks. It IS the long weekend after all. What do I plan to do the rest of the weekend? Well, we're not sure yet although we know we are going out to a fireworks show at the Casino du lac Leamy tomorrow night. I doubt there'll be much in the way of junk available but even if there is, I'm really not interested. Red has plans to have dinner with her retiring aunt, mother and their sisters Monday evening so I'm going to see the Dark Knight again. I have been thinking of enjoying some movie theater popcorn at this showing, but I doubt I will. My guilt is just too strong and I've been doing exceptionally well lately. All in all, I think I'm going to be okay.
