I couldn’t resist.  I got on the grey box this morning  and I was down over 2 pounds from yesterday… and I went ahead and logged that as my new weight for a new weight loss of 18.6 pounds and 206 pounds total.  In hindsight, I shouldn’t have weighed myself yesterday… I just never thought it would be that huge of a difference from one day to the next.  I had to go to the doctor this morning for my annual physical… and I was down over 17 pounds from last year when I had my physical.  My doctor was really happy about that and said I got a “gold star”.  That made me feel pretty good.

I know myself well enough to know that if I am not showing a loss, I am likely to overindulge, and quit.  This is why it is important for me to reflect a loss.  So that every time I open my fitness pal app, I am showing progress, not set backs.  Set backs are like a giant ice cream sundae, or lasagna, or Moes!  It seems like a great idea while I am doing it, but sets me back every time.

Now the new challenge for me will be not to weigh myself tomorrow.  But again, I know I am going to do it.  I won’t log the weight, but I know I will want to see more progress given what the weight was that I saw when I weighed myself on Sunday morning (which again, I shouldn’t have weighed myself!)  I am worried that I am starting to head down a path I have been before… so I know I can’t keep weighing myself.  Maybe I will have my husband hide the grey box…

I am on day two of my new abs challenge.  I don’t like this one as much as the first one.  We will see how it goes.
