And Just Like That: 2023 Is Gone - Weekly WI

Hello to the New Year!

2024 has started off on the right foot after joining the Colonel’s PT Challenge at work. This year they are also allowing us to compete as work units, so I’ve recruited other dispatcher co-worker partners to join me. This year in addition to the aerobic and walking type activity I signed up for the sit-up/push-up challenge too. Over the next 10 weeks, I need to log 30 hours of aerobic exercise and complete 3500 reps of sit-ups. push-ups, or a combination. I had to re-do the math because I thought I needed to do 70 combined a day. They are calculating the numbers as if you complete 3-5 of these items a week. So thankfully, only 50 combined a day if I commit to 7 days, which is my plan.

My Apple Watch Activity Challenge goal is to close all three rings, Move, Exercise, and Stand, for 14 days. That one should be doable this month, especially with my commitment to activity. There is also an extra New Years award available for completing a 7-day workout week, which again, I suspect I will earn.

All this activity is a nice shift from food, which I also need to get a handle on. I dogged a bullet two weeks ago with a small gain and did absolutely nothing to make last week successful. Oh boy did it show on the scale. Ugh. I swear to you, this was 100% me last week.

It feels nice to have a brand-new month and year ahead to start fresh. I need to make sure 2024 is the year of progress. My WW manager sent us our weekly materials prepping us for the new year and hopefully an influx of new members. She said in her email to remember to “look the part.” That really resonated with me because I’ve been feeling bad about my body lately. I need to feed it right and move it more so I can not only make progress but also look the part for so many members that count on me each week for accountability and support. My members provide me with the same amount of support they gain from me. This is why I love our WW Community so much.

I didn’t have time to attend a virtual workshop this week, but I plan to do so ASAP. I also need to find a local connect workshop where I can get back to being a member first.

Health App Year In Review

Being married to a “techy” means we have fancy things at our house, including our scale.

My husband bought this scale that reports to the Health App and shows you trends, which is pretty neat. I was pleasantly surprised with my 2020 year in review. I had stopped weighing in at home before my WW Workshop since different scales can be inconstant. With COVID, I was a weighing in weekly at home. Here are the year-end results:

Weigh-ins

45 weight measures in 2020

vs 19 in 2019

Body Composition

52.0% muscle mass

vs 50.0% at your first weigh-in of 2020

45.0% fat mass

vs 47.0% at your first weigh-in of 2020

3.0% bone mass

vs 3.0% at your first weigh-in of 2020

Weight goal

Your objective was to reach
199.5 lb

At the end of the year, you weighed
203.0 lb

vs 208.5 lb for your first measure of the year

While I may have not ended 2020 at that 199.5 weight goal, I was able to see similar numbers three times over the last year. I am usually most proud of my weight loss successes.

Seeing these other times of numbers is a great reminder that there are other ways to gauge success. I gained 2% in muscle mass and lost 20% in fat mass. Plus, anytime you don’t lose bone mass is always a positive.

There are times I wish I had more body measurements in inches similar to when I was paying for personal training sessions. I was able to start wearing a size 14W jean and dress pant again and even order some shirts in size L. Pre-WW, I was wearing a size 26 in jeans and XXL shirts.

I will be officially celebrating my 14^th Anniversary since joining WW later this month. What a journey it has been.

2014 Year End Review

I’ve seen other bloggers writing a blog post to sum up their year. I really liked that idea so I am going to share with you my 2014. Sorry, I'm a little late.

January

I celebrated seven years as a WW member.

We visited all of the Hawaiian Islands. It is still crazy to think one year ago we were almost Hawaii bound. Time seems to pass at rapid speed.
