the catch up game...

wow, have i missed a few things the past week or so..another quick update, i made it to my WW meeting last nite and was soooo happy to see a .4 loss cuz i was sure i would have STS or gained after the events of the past week or so...making and testing cakes/cupcakes/icing/dips/etc takes a toll and i for sure it was going to show up on the scale (plus i think i only got in two or three workouts)...

speaking of the scale...i am also playing catch up in reading some of my fellow bloggies posts out there and i just read Deb Shrinks' one on "how often do you weigh yourself", so i think that's what i'm going to address in this post...

i do it more than the once a week because i am part of the X-weighted challenge that i'm part of...WI for that is Monday morning for me, and let me tell ya, i like that number so much more!lol...this past WI was 179, whereas WW was 184.8...does the two full days in between make that much of a difference? i guess time will tell...
it's amazing what those numbers do to you...mentally, emotionally...i really am a slave to the scale...i hate admitting that but i know that it's something i have to work on now...i would really like to say i'm so much more than those numbers, but believing it or putting it into practice takes something that i don't think i have just yet...at least i can start working on that tho...

at least i'm back to working out and tracking...i've switched from Shredding (it really was aggravating my shoulder too much), to Taebo and wow! i'm working out for 45 mins a day now and getting a really really great sweat on and love it...i'm earning 5 AP's a workout...just have to remember not to eat them (otherwise i don't lose as much)...hopefully i can keep it up till it's nice enough out to start the couch to 5k program again (my fitness goal with the x-weighted challenge is to run a 5 k)
also, i realize that i really do miss Muay Thai Kickboxing...oh well...

laters...

  1. I'm hoping that once I get my weight down, I can start focusing more on how my body looks and less on that number. Right now, that number just seems all consuming and it's hard to remember that it isn't the only measure of success.
