I record my weight every Sunday. I record after I first wake up. I use the bathroom and remove my clothes, and then what I get is what I write. Although I do weigh myself on other days, I don't record those weights. If I can't weigh in on Sunday, I record my Saturday weight, or the next day after Sunday that I'm near my scale. At the end of the month, I average my weights.
Today, I weighed in at 136 pounds. I am very happy with this, as I haven't gotten a weight this low since February! It means I have only 11 pounds to go before I reach my goal.
The sad thing is that since I started tracking my weight back at the end of October, I was weighing in in the 132's and 133's. At that time, I was a little discouraged that I needed to lose 7-8 pounds. I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. If I hadn't started recording my weight, I'd probably weigh even more now.
Anyway, this round is for life, not for looking good in a bathing suit this summer (although that would be a nice benefit.) I also have to remind myself that for much of my adult life, I would have been THRILLED to be down to this weight. In fact, 135 was my original weightloss goal back in 2003.
I am trying to find a balance between feeling good about how far I've come yet motivated to continue.
