Todays weigh-in: 327.8lbs (-1.2)
Oh well, I thought I would’ve done a little better, but I could probably see where I was lacking. I’m not really pushing myself like I should in the gym. I should do less lifting and more cardio. The weekend was a little slack too, with the big bowls of Corn flakes instead of Bran flakes in moderate portions. I didn’t go to the gym on Sunday, because I was feeling lazy, so I sat on the computer trying to make designs to screen print. Actually, I spend a lot of time doing that, ’cause I’m just fascinated by the whole screen printing process and the thought of never having to buy name brand T-shirts again. I could design and wear my own.
So, slacking on Sunday, knowing that weigh-in is on Monday. Most people would bust it out on Monday and then weigh-in afterwards. I made a conscious decision to workout Monday at the same level as the rest of that week, because I felt like a cheater if I did more to lose more. Basically, I want you all to see my success through what I put in for that week. There’s no race, so I don’t need to inflate my weight loss. I could have starved myself for the whole day, while I worked out feverishly and probably had a 3lb or 4lb loss instead of 1.2lb. That would be for show and not representative of my efforts for the week. Do you ever put pressure on yourself to workout extra hard on weigh-in day?
Overall, I can’t complain. I hope to do better next week. After all, I’m still losing, right?

I remember when I did Weight Watchers a few years back and I cheated on my weigh in’s. For my initial weigh in, I wore shoes, pants and a sweatshirt. For the next weigh in, I wore socks, shorts and a t-shirt. I even got a haircut thinking I could shave off a pound there. That was all for me to see how big of a loss I could generate. I gained nothing from it but the disappointment of a mediocre loss the next week. The only thing I do different around weigh in time is that I try to eat more fiber…
BTW, good job on the loss. You are 1.2 pounds lighter than last weigh in, WOOHOO!. Keep up the great work!
Haha, that’s funny. I think we all do something different around that time instead of facing reality. In the end, we’re only cheating ourselves and for what, instant gratification? I’ll take my lil ‘ol 1.2 lbs and build on that:)
Hey, a loss is a loss. Don’t even sweat it; you’re doing awesome.
A loss is a loss and I would kill to pull a number like that this week (not gonna happen). Stay the course and your body will catch up!
That’s exactly how I feel. “A loss is a loss”, but we hate the thought of not seeing that progress, so I’m telling myself that if I half ass do things during the week, I’m not gong to purge on that last day. I’m going to take my lumps and not stress out about it, because there’s always another week, God willing…….
Yup, a loss is a loss. And you had a very nice loss. Keep it up. I love your attitude, you are cool!
Post some of the shirts you print. I would love to see them. You thinking about selling them?
Thanks Lynne, but I’m still learning and messing up. One day I’ll try and make something simple to show you all….
