Weekly Weigh-In 2006-01-29 January 29, 2006
Current Weight: 105.5 (232.5 lbs)- Lost this week: 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs)
- Total lost to date: 4.5 kg (9.9 lbs)
- Number of days exercised: 5
My weekly weight loss figure is creeping up, getting closer to my target of 1 kg per week. Again, I had a few events this week that didn’t help - a big dinner out at the Hog’s Breath Cafe with some friends, a big cooked breakfast for my wedding anniversary, and a visit with my parents.
I missed two days of exercise this week - one due to weather, and one due to being up half the night with a sick child. Although I try to get out for a walk every day, it seems like 5 sessions a week is a pretty good target to aim for. If everything goes right for a week and I fit in more than that, great!
I managed to touch 104 kg one day this week in my daily weigh-ins. That’s a bit of a milestone for me - I haven’t been under 105 kg in about 5 years. Even when I’ve gone on diets, I get to about 105 kg and then seem to lose interest or get derailed. I think it’s because I’d watch my daily weight measurements, see them jump from 105 to 107 in a single day (seemingly wiping out a couple of weeks of disciplined dieting!), and get discouraged. Every time that happens, it’s another opportunity for your negative thoughts to take over and for your resolve to waver.
Using the Hacker’s Diet weight tracking spreadsheet is a much better way to monitor your progress. If you go off-track for a day or two, it doesn’t hurt your running average figure very badly, so you’re still motivated to keep going and try to get some more daily measurements below the line and start dragging it down again.
It just goes to show that losing weight is about a lot more than just going on a diet.
