Offically I have a 1 pound gain for the week since Tuesday is my weigh in day. I know how it happens, but I also know that I have been eating okay and exercising as usual--well I missed a run. But look at what I weighed last Wednesday, the day after my official weigh in! Ugh!
I don't let these numbers get me down too much because I use it as a tool to know how my weight fluctuates daily. This way I know that later, when I'm trying to maintain, I know that my weight will not just stay the same day after day no matter what I do. Fluctuations are normal. Even so I think it's time to stay off the scale except on Tuesdays for awhile.
Rather than take on big, month-long challenges, or even my own personal 4 week challenges, I think biting off a week at a time is the best idea. So I weighed today and I will *try* and not weigh again until my next official weigh in on Tuesday, October 26, 2010. These people that can go a whole month without weighing, I admire them, but I cannot do it. One week? Possibly.
I weigh myself every Friday morning. That's it. I used to NEVER weigh myself. So once a week is big for me.
