A Very, Very Late Weigh In, and Update

So, my "first" weigh in was April 2.  This is April 19. I'm no math whiz, but I'm pretty sure I missed 2 weigh in's there.

The first WI I missed was April 9.  We took off at 6am that day on vacation, so I (honestly) forgot to weigh in before leaving.  I actually did weigh in on April 16 but didn't post it.  So here's the not-so skinny on how the past 2 weeks have gone.

Date: April 16, 2012
Current Weight: 248.2
Last Week's Weight:  243.0
Loss:   --- (Gain) + 5.2
Total Loss Since 4/2/2012:   --- None


So what happened?  I took a vacation.  I ate whatever my heart desired.  I did not count calories.  I did not limit myself.  And honestly, the wings, pizza and beer were DELICIOUS. I didn't exercise.  I didn't even walk other than through the Baseball Hall of Fame and a Children's Museum.  But I had fun.  I saw my sister.  I'm happy with that week, gain be damned.


This week has been different.  I've been a more restrictive on what I've eaten.  I've (MOSTLY) stayed out of the leftover Easter candy.  I've cut down on the beer, too.  Also, I joined a local running club and am running again.  After getting over the initial shock to moving my ass again, I'm REALLY enjoying it.  It is so......LIBERATING!


So here's to a better Weigh In on Monday!  How are you all doing?

    1. You are too kind, anonymous - but I'm afraid the scales aren't all big fat liars. Every scale I weigh on says about the same thing. So for better or worse, this is where I'm at right now.

  4. You are a woman after my own heart. I also took a break around/through Easter and am paying for it today. Thanks for being inspiring and sharing your journey.

  5. Easter didn't faze me, but I don't even want to remember Christmas, or rather the week on either side of it. You had a set-back, not get back on track again.

    First time commenter/visitor, found you the other night from someone else's blog links.
