So why don't I like Wednesday? I have been only weighing in twice a week. Sundays and Wednesdays. On each Wednesday I have weighed I have gained weight. So why is that. I have a theroy, but for now I have decided NO MORE Wednesday weighins. It discourages me and I don't want discouragement in this journey at this point.
I am 4 weeks in to my transformation. 3 weeks into the DB, at my weight I should be down alot more weight than I am now for the amount of effort I am putting in. Am I being hard on myself? Not really. I am just analyizing what I am doing and how I can improve.
I was so glad for Heidi's post it was exactly what I needed to hear. I still believe I am not eating enough, but I am not hungry and I don't want to eat beyond hungry. I know if I keep to the plan and keep doing what I am doing the weight will continue to come off. So what if it comes off slower than others. It is still coming off. That is the important thing.
So to keep with my usual way I have talked about the negative 1st now for the positive. I got in over 12,000 steps today and I finally hit 5 miles in total walking. That is my personal best at this time. It was also easier than it was any other day. I was able to keep up with the video and actually was doing all the arm movements besides just the steps. I am getting stronger. I also see that I am happier with myself. So I have wins in my life and I am liking that.
So when the scale isn't talking to you the way you want and the negative creeps in, start looking at the other positives going on around you. I bet you can find one, and hold on to that. It will get you past the discouragement and get you to the next win.
Hope to see everyone in the winner circle. Keep it up.
