3 weeks down

So I'm a little annoyed today. I forgot to weigh in first thing when I woke up and didnt get to weigh in until after I got back from dropping Jett at school. By then I had already eaten breakfast and so I know that threw things off along with not being my normal weigh in time. Well the scale said 241.2 even though on Saturday morning it said 240.4 lbs. One week ago I was 241.8 so while I was down 1.4 lbs by Saturday I somehow managed to be up from that and my total loss for this week was only 0.6 lbs. Very frustrating but trying not to focus on the numbers so much because I know I worked harder this week than I have the previous two weeks and so I know I'm building muscles and that the different weigh in time has an effect on what the scale reads. I still feel great and better about eating healthier and working out more often. I've started incooperating workout dvds that have me include small handweights in the routine and I'm really feeling the burn. I was really anticipating seeing 239.8 or less today and looking forward to being out of the 240s but I'm not defeated and just gonna let this give me a push to be that much stricter on the things I'm consuming and how much time I give myself for frivolous activities like facebook instead of working out.

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. Here it is 3 weeks later and I'm really starting to feel like I'm back in this for the long haul no matter what. Hoping like hell that I really can follow through and stick with my goals.

    1. I just changed everything here a week or so ago. I like it. lol. I may get around to looking at my font size later but I believe I had to make it this small to fit everything on my page.

  2. Week two is always the hardest and usually the smallest amount of weight loss. Think Biggest Loser and how much week two blows on the scale. Stick with it!

    1. but this was week 3! I would have totally expected that week 2 and i did have less during week 2 but it wasnt as terrible as this. I shan't complain much though, a loss is a loss.

  3. Aww you are doing awesome!! Keep it up...the beginning is always the hardest! When I started really working out I gained so much muscle at first it took almost a month to start seeing nice losses...it will come! Keep up the great work! :)
