Weekly Weight Loss Report - November 11, 2008
Written by Amanda on November 11, 2008 – 7:31 pm -
Since last week, I have lost 3lbs (like this 3lbs of cheese). I am not too impressed by that number, but it is respectable. When I start focusing on weight loss, I get obsessed with numbers and how much I can lose by what date. I think that making weight loss goals is important, but I know myself, and it may end up hurting my long term goals (becoming a healthier person).
I am happy with any weight loss. This week’s was due to not eating as much, even if I wasn’t eating the world’s healthiest meal. Normally if I wasn’t eating something healthy, I would eat as much as possible because I was already cheating on my diet. I am lucky that I don’t have time to eat out for lunch because that is one less temtation, however sometimes I wouldn’t pack my lunch and I would go grab something unhealthy and eat it very quickly because I have about 20 minutes for lunch. So I have been taking salads for lunch and really enjoying them. I am also proud to say that I have not had a soda, still. I have been making better choices about eating, but this week, my goal for eating is to look up some healthy recipes for dinner and try something new that I would enjoy eating.
Exercise was not my strong point this week. The time change, a cold and cold weather really put a damper on my walks. I can’t let that be my excuse though. I know that if I am going to change my life I need to make time to get moving regardless of the situation. So this week, I am going to try to reinstate my walks, and if the weather is really bad I always have my dusty-unused-new-years-resolution recumbent bike, which obviously, I don’t like using. I would also like to incorporate some sort of strength training.
So I am not going to obsess over the number of pounds that I lose. I think this is important to track though because the scale doesn’t lie. If I don’t lose weight, it means that I need to adjust something in my life because at my current weight, I need to eat quite a few calories just to maintain. My goal by Thanksgiving is to lose enough weight to fit into my winter clothes which are hanging in my closet. This is manageable because that is not too far off.
