Before After

Day 10 of 21

Today's exercise brought to me by 55+ minutes worth of walking.

I am taking the bus to work 4 days a week this month so I got up and left earlier to walk further to the bus (make sense?).  Meaning:  instead of walking only 2 blocks to the bus (like less than 5 minutes) I walked almost 25 minutes to catch the bus.

At work, I ate between my calls/work at my desk today (I do this when I don't have "stinky lunch" that would be offensive) and then went outside for a 20 min walk.  This almost got me because it was trying to start raining.

Let's see.  Answers:

1.)  I weigh when I feel like it now, basically.  More than likely will continue twice a month at the present.  Mid month and end/start of month.
2.)  I measure at the end of the month.  This is what I might change to the 2nd-3rd week so it's not sitting on TOM week.

If you don't take measurements, this is one thing that I stand firm on.  Start now, even if you have lost 5-1000 lbs already.  Sometimes along the journey, the scale won't move and the inches will be going away.  As a veteran (survivor?) of two 8-week plateaus on this journey, this is what kept my sanity.

Thanks for the comments about my consistency and being an inspiration.  You all are an inspiration to me too!!  Like they always said at the WW meetings:  if you are having a good week, the meeting needs you.  If you are having a "bad" week, you need the meeting.

There have been several times when I find myself drifting out to sea that you all have thrown me the line to reel me in, remember?  We're all here together!!

OH.  Ugh.  My doctor's office called and rescheduled my appointment.  He's got a meeting or something on the day I was supposed to go so now I am pushed out another 1-2 weeks.  Hey, it's another couple of weeks to lose a few more pounds, but I need to see him!  LOL!!

Anyway.  Hope you are all having a great week - I'll try to get by and visit more of you tonight.

Good Point!

You are so incredible on your exercising and I think you are right for not constantly weighing.  You have an excellent point about the inches thing.  I've never stuck with that and I'll have to start that and remember that.  It can be very frustrating when the scale doesn't move.  I can see where the "inches" deal could keep you sanity.  We do help each other so much and I just love it!

always

I always measure too! If you are sticking to your plan either inches or weight will be going (if not both!)
