Amazing how much my weight fluctuates..
Does anyone else seem to have this problem? My weight goes bananas and will fluctuate greatly even over the course of a day. I don't understand how it works. Last weekend I was really excited when I saw a good # on Saturday on the scale. The # did not hold on Sunday, so I updated my weight log accordingly. Yesterday, my weight was right around where it had been the previous weekend, but today it was down, so I'm taking that as a win. Even though at the gym this week I'd seen 223 two days in a row!! (With clothes/shoes on, but still, ugh!)
I am now 4lbs away from my half marathon weight (according to my scale at the gym, with clothes on I was 217.8 today, my 1/2 marathon weight was 213.8). At my highest weight, I hit 238 something, which was really depressing. I'm glad to see that # today (216 on my home scale), and I'm going to keep working at it... I'd love to be under 210 (maybe 205?) for my birthday in July.
This week was an up and down week. I exercised 4 days, which isn't too bad. Only 1 day of weights though. My eating was good for 5 out of the 7 days this week. Those 2 bad days featured baked ziti, mexican food and a slice of cake.. ouch. I'll try to be better this week... Though it's going to be a doozy, as this is the first week of testing for my students. I really really hope they shine!!
My first mini-goal for myself is to hit my half marathon weight again.. I need to figure out a reward for myself to keep the motivation high..
Hope everyone had a nice weekend.. mine was, strange, in a word, but not all bad.
