Weekly Wednesday Weigh-in

(Idea compliments of Josey, layout compliments of Michelle.)

Weekly Wednesday Weigh-in (Start of week 5)

1. Reiterate my goal and where I stand in reference to this goal. (BMI info from this website)

Starting weight: 169
Last Week’s Weight: 169
Current Weight: 168 (down 1lb from last week)
Goal Weight : 140-145

Starting BMI: 27.3 (overweight is 25-29.9)
Last Week’s BMI: 27.3
Current BMI: 27.1
Goal BMI: 22.6-23.4 (in the normal range)

2. Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.

Progress on last week’s activities:

1) Don't eat sweets - Somehow I managed to not eat sweets, despite feeling pretty woebegone and blah at times. BIG success for me.
2) Survive - Done.

Yeah, last week was a bit of a bust, but I managed to not gain weight which is promising to me. I even trended down a bit the other day and saw 167 on the scale, even if it wasn't on weigh-in day! I'm hoping that this yo-yo of weight continues its downward trend.

I'm having a hard time not eating sweets, I'll be honest. Mostly I just feel like I don't WANT to not eat sweets, but I have the momentum of 2 weeks (tomorrow!) behind me, and I don't take the decision to cave lightly. I know that I have to really be behind not doing it anymore, because I'm likely to regret it, and feel like the junk doesn't taste as good as abstaining. What I need to remember is that my body is kicking the habit of needing sweets every day (multiple times a day...) and that I'm still experiencing some withdrawal. Also, I need to remind myself how bad it was over Christmas, even when I was TRYING to eat well and still managed to polish off a ridiculous amount of chocolate.

So anyway, my goals for this week:

1) Don't eat sweets.
2) Don't make muffins (I seriously have so little self-control that I could eat 1/2 a dozen just for breakfast. They are the most amazing muffins I've ever had though, so can you blame me? Best to not have them in the house.)
3) Do zumba or jog 3 times
4) Do 50 crunches a day, as well as stretches that will help me to be able to touch my toes.
5) Go through 2-3 bottles of water a day (between 6 and 9 cups of water)

Okay, I've got to wrap this up now. I know I'm not quite done but I'm tired to the point of distraction, and Elijah has been waking up at the unholy hour of 6am lately.
