Weigh-In Wednesday (on Saturday!)

Late I know..... (it is really not easy to get back on this weight loss wagon!)

 

Anyway, I did weigh in last week but I simply did not make it back on here til the weekend and I thought it would be too late to post.  However the same thing happened this week and I did not want to get too far behind so I am posting on the weekend anyway for February 5th and 12th. Remember:  I weigh in on Saturday's for the previous week. 

 

 (I know a bit confusing...sorry.) 

 

Where to start???  Well, since I weigh in on Saturday's and post my results on Wednesday's I am down two weigh-in's.

• My results for February 5, 2014 (week of January 27th - Feb. 1st) were 161.6 pounds.  So I gained .6 pounds that week.  But I did lose a few inches so that helped me keep my self-confidence up.

 

• February 12th (Weigh-In for week of February 3rd -8th): Last week,... I was unable to workout with my workout buddies from work due to faculty meetings and staff development workshops out of town so I felt like the whole week was a waste.  That put me a week behind on T25 and so I kind of let my diet go.  I did weigh-in last Saturday just to make sure I held myself accountable and my results were......160.4!  I actually lost 1.2 pounds. I still find it hard to believe that when I workout I gain weight and lose inches but when I don't workout I lose weight.  However I did not lose as many inches that week.  I am starting to realize what everyone else has always said about losing inches not weight.  It is sometimes better to lose inches than weight on the scale because your weight fluctuates so much from hour to hour and day to day.  So I am keeping track of my measurements as well.  I will only post those once a month so I don't bog you down with too many details.  If you are interested thought, I do log them up the "My Progress" tab at the top of this page. I update that page periodically so it may not always be up to date. 

 

• I did weigh-in today but I will not post that measurement until Wednesday so that I will be back on track. Hopefully I do not miss anymore Weigh-In Wednesdays as it is not so good to get behind. 

VALENTINE'S Day....

 

I hope everyone was able to stay warm and safe if you live in the Eastern part of the U.S. like me.  We were snowed Wednesday night, Thursday, and a good part of Friday too.  We got right at 12 inches here in the Appalachian Mountains of NC.  My hubby took me out last night for Valentine's Day to one of my favorite Japanese Restaurants.  Needless to say that was not good for my diet! Haha!

Goals for the upcoming week:  

Start Week 5 of T25 and workout every day! I also need to drink more water and not eat my way through my workout results. I am bad to workout and think that because I just finished my workout, I can have whatever I want to eat.  That is not creating the deficit that I need in calories! 

 

 

HELP!!!!

Does anyone have any tips on how to get myself back in gear so to speak when it comes to exercise and diet?  I would love to hear any suggestions or tips that you might have to help me as I am struggling right now.
