Weekly WI: Monthly End And A Rough Start To 2024

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!!


I decided I would not be stepping on the scale today.  After a back-to-back gains and a week that I thought would turn out more promising than it did for successful weightless, I don’t think mentally I can handle another gain right now.  I am going to track last week’s weigh-in results as my monthly end for March.




As you can see, I’ve been climbing the scale each month of 2024.  A member last night shared they had reached their “don’t go above” weight and are determined to bring the scale back down.  I feel the same way.  Two months of climbing the scale?  Nope!  Not going to do it again.  Typically as the weather gets warmer, my weight rises.  Or at least that has been my recent past experiences.  I can’t let the scale continue to climb any higher.  It is time to take action NOW!


Here is a glimpse of the last week…


We celebrated St. Patty’s Day in downtown Meridian.  We had tons of fun and I just love spending time with my friends.




The Hubs and I had our 16th Wedding Anniversary.




I was instilled as an officer with the Nampa Elks Lodge #1389.  I have taken on the role of Tiler.  I was also surprised and humbled to receive the 2023-2024 Distinguished Citizenship Award presented by our out-going Exalted Ruler Julie.  Wow!  What an amazing honor so soon in my involvement with this amazing organization.  I can’t say it enough, the members that make up the Nampa Elks Lodge are wonderful. 






With all that celebrating, you can see why this week was not favorable in being optimistic last week’s gain was just temporary and would drop off.  I continued with my activity return and this week, I plan to get back to the gym.  I also plan to keep up that consistent routine.


My alcohol consumption needs to change.  This week I plan to focus on engaging in less activity when in social situations.  I don’t need to drink and if there is one thing I can do differently, that is the goal this week.  Focusing on that will help the rest fall into place.  I also (should) have less social on the calendar this week.  I promise you, I am my own worst enemy.


I’ll spend this week shifting my focus to a more helpful mindset.
