Weighing In 12

hushIt’s once again that time here on Finally Getting Fit. Time to weigh in and see if anything has changed from last week.

Here goes… (SW = Starting Weight, LWI = Last Weigh In, CW = Current Weight)

SW: 256
LWI: 248
CW: 244

Well, well, well…

I’m kind of not sure what to say, to be honest. I’m definitely happy, that’s for sure. I didn’t really expect this. I suppose I should have, looking back on the stomach upset I’ve had for a little while now, but I guess I have been so focused on other things that I’ve been eating right but not thinking about the results.

I suppose that’s a good thing. Sometimes I get a little too focused on the numbers and that upsets me. This past week has been so crazy that it took my focus away, and I’m glad. Today was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Plus, I only have one pound to go before I’ve lose five percent of my body weight. Yay! I’m very happy about that. Also, my BMI is finally under 40, which is even more awesome.

Honestly, I’m a bit gobsmacked. I set the goal of 244 by my wedding anniversary (May 5th), but there was always that nugget of doubt telling me I wouldn’t get there in that time. And now I have. Early, even.

I’m not going to set another goal right now because I have yet to go through time of month, which usually means a weight spike. Actually, I’m not setting a goal loss. I do have the goal to at least maintain until the anniversary.

What are you doing for your health and fitness this week? What positive changes are you making in your life for your future?

Weighing In 11

hushHello and welcome back. Today is once again weigh in day and I felt a bit apathetic getting on to the scale this morning. Still, I like to weigh in at least once a week to keep a bit of an eye on myself.

Here goes… (SW = Starting Weight, LWI = Last Weigh In, CW = Current Weight)

SW: 256
LWI: 248
CW: 248

No change for this week, but I’m okay with that. I had quite the loss last week and as long as I’m under the 250 mark, I’m happy for now.

I’m not sure what’s going on with me right now, but I’m in a bit of a ‘meh’ mood. I like when I lose weight, yes, and I don’t want to gain any, but I’m rather apathetic to both. I hate to say it, but I kind of…don’t really care about losing the pounds right now.

It’s a bit of a strange mood for me, that’s for sure. As long as it doesn’t de-motivate me or keep me from going to the gym and eating right, I reckon it’s not a big deal.

Have you ever had a time like that? Where you couldn’t honestly give a rat’s bum if the scale moved one week? I mean, I know I’d be upset if I gained, but not as upset as other times. Losing weight would be nice, but I’m not really caring about that either right now.

So it goes, I suppose. Now I just need to focus on getting through the week.

So what is your plan of action this week? Do you have anything special planned or going full steam ahead with the usual plan?

This week I am making an effort to get to the gym every day of the week. I’ve been in a bit of a lazy mood lately and haven’t been keen on going, but I always feel better once I’ve done it.

Once again I still need to do better with my water. I’m not sure why it’s so difficult sometimes when I have a water bottle next to me while I work… But I can still do better.

Weighing In 10

hushMonday, Monday. I had to go and pick Mondays.

Hello everyone. I hope you had a great weekend. I know I had a lovely one, but that’s usually the way it goes when I spend time with my husband. (And especially when he buys me notebooks and pens. Haha!)

Today it’s that time again, so here goes… (SW = Starting Weight, LWI = Last Weigh In, CW = Current Weight)

SW: 256
LWI: 254
CW: 248

Yay! I am quite excited. Like anyone else, I like to see big losses on the scales every now and then, and this is definitely a big loss.

Getting used to South Beach hasn’t been that hard so far. Yes, I’ve had my moments, but overall, I like salads and love eggs (with mushrooms), so I’m pretty happy most of the time.

I knew I needed to cut my addictions to bread and chocolate fast because, before I started this, my digestive system was really acting up, I was eating more for pleasure than need, and I was having unexplained skin reactions. I knew it was time to make a change.

Even not thinking about the pounds lost, I’m glad about the changes I’ve made. It will get harder, yes. This is only the first week. But I have set the goal of 244 by May 5th (my wedding anniversary) and I’m back at the gym to help me meet that goal.

This week I still need to work on getting my water where it needs to be. Like I said, I’ll be back at the gym this week, and I usually drink about one bottle of water for the whole time I’m there, so that will help.

How are you doing this week? How much have you lost/gained? How are you feeling mentally and emotionally? What are your plans of action for this week?
