Weigh In Day

I realized today that I have never spoken about my weigh in days, so here is what we shall call the first! As I've mentioned before, we have a clinic in my office building. This is where I do my weigh ins. There's also a scale at the gym, but I avoid that so I can keep consistency in my weigh ins.

So this morning I went, thinking that I was going to have a gain. Over the weekend I hadn't been that strict with my food and I definitely didn't workout. WARNING: Guy readers cover your eyes here. Today was also Day 1 of THOSE times, so... imagine my surprise when I stepped on that scale and it said I'd lost 1.5 pounds! YES!

I don't know if it was the work I put in Monday, Tuesday, and this morning, but rejoice! I've managed to stay between 1400 - 1600 calories the past three days; and I went to Zumba Monday morning, lifted Tuesday night, and went to spin this morning. I haven't had a soda in two days, which is huge for me. Usually I'll have one purely out of habit. I'll purchase it, I'll crack it open, and after that first delicious sip I decide I really didn't want it. Yet, I still drink the whole thing. That's why I think my "addiction" to soda is much more mental than physical.

Any road - I have filled myself with a lot of hope these last few days, and I really feel like I can accomplish this goal. Dig it.

  1. Way to go! I know during that time I tend to gain 3 pounds. I try not to let it get me down... but it happens. You know what this means? That after that week you will be down even further! YA HOO! Keep it up!

  2. Grats! Keep up the good work! I cannot describe how awesome I feel not drinking soda frequently any longer. I allow myself to have it in a couple mixed drinks (rum and coke) when out at a bar. And you know I don't go out to bars much. Cutting it out of your diet (mostly) will really help. Good luck!
