Ending The Week Strong

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

My week might have started out a bit rough, but I was able to end it on a high note.

 

I pre-planned and pre-tracked through Monday and earned four blue dots in a row.  I also exercised three days in a row.  Yeah me!

Now, despite all this, I still gained 1.4 pounds over the last two weeks.  WOMP! WOMP!  I was bummed for sure.  But, I was also sort of expecting a gain.  You know…prepare for the worst and hope for the best.  I got on the home scale when I woke up today.  I don’t typically like to do this each week since there is always a difference in scales, clothing, etc.  It said I gained 0.4 pounds so I was at least hopeful maybe a small gain.  Oh well.  Gotta keep plugging along.

 

 I also made a last minute decision that I am going track my weekly weight number vs. my weekly loss/gain number.  I don’t know why but I feel like I’m getting too focused on losses.  Yes, I need to lose.  Yes, I plan to lose.  But I also know that I need/want to be at 203 again (100 pounds lost) and 199.  So, tracking the weekly number vs. the gains/losses might help shift my focus and keep me on track.  Had I started my week off with a loss, maybe I’d have felt differently.

 

We had a great meeting with lots of exciting stuff coming.  I’ll report back in another post.
