Weigh in (late, I know)
The official weigh in for Sunday was 197. And it has been holding steady ever since. I think that I am starting to check the scales almost dail. I figure it is because
1) I really still don’t believe that I am seeing a number under 200, or
2) that I am moving to a new phase of obsession over this weight loss and getting fit thing, or
3) that I really want to know how daily activity and food choices impact the scale.
I don’t really like checking daily. Sure, for now it is great. I don’t see a lot of fluctuation and the number is steadily moving down. But what happens when that is no longer the case. I don’t want to create the bad habit now and then regret it later.
I made a few other small purchases to add to my fitness arsenal this weekend. I got a pilates ball (I think that is what they are called) and the 2004 T@e-bo DVD’s with foundation, energy, strength, and power. I tried the foundation on Sunday night and it went as well as can be expected. I really didn’t think that I was unusually uncoordinated, but between him always starting with the left, calling out the wrong direction and me working on carpeting; it didn’t go all that well. I jumped right in, however on Monday, to the energy workout. Not too bad, but I still do NOT get the difference between 2 of the kicks. Argh. I am sure that if I videotaped myself, I would look like an injured bird or Elaine from Seinfeld dancing.
I also tried out the ball thing since it came with a poster full of exercise options. I’ll have to keep working on that one too. I need to just practice until I comfortable with the fact that the thing isn’t going to explode while I am beached on it. And yes, I feel like a beached whale when I plop on this thing. And my dog truly, utterly hates it.
Eating is going ok. Not the best couple of weeks ever, but not the worst either. I am planning to revise my goals though. I think that my first goal of 29 pounds in four months was aggressive, but now I have until Labor day to get from 197 to 185. I think that may be too easy for me and might sap my motivation. I may try for 180 by Labor day. What do you guys think?
