Weigh Day #2

On weigh day this week I only showed a loss of .2 pounds! I was so surprised because I thought I had a gerat week and the scales at home showed I should have had a loss of a couple pounds, or so I thought, I even had the really super nice lady weigh me a second time.

Hmmm…. I’ll bet you think I’m lying to myself, at this point. I’m not sure. I do know that sodium intake, time of day , and lots of other factors some into play. One of the things that I believe caused problems in the past was my usual notion that I should try to make all changes at once. I think it was too much and I faltered quickly. This time, I’m going to try to make changes slowly, at my pace, not relying on anyone else’s idea of what that should be.

Some of the changes I made in the first week:

- I was careful to track my food.

- I paid more attention to taking a daily vitamin. I have always “tried” to take one everyday, but I got relaxed about it, like most.

- I continued to walk the dog around the block, which is a half mile, twice everyday.

Some folks might think that that wasn’t enough. For me, it’s hard to think about what I will eat and what I AM eating – it’s as if I have to concentrate on it every minute, really!

This week, I will add the following:

- I plan to add three additional walks around that half mile circle, sans dog (but probably with my sister – my wonderful supporter!).

- I have added Weight Watchers e-tools. What I noticed is that they have improved them quite a bit since a few years ago when I tried to use them.

I have also posted a new addition of “The Pants” (see below).

I would love to talk on Facebook, if you have the time. My page is http://facebook.com/obesityproject. I really want to work together to help make this a success for everyone!
