Today was my first weigh in at the meeting centre so totally different scale (definitely more accurate!) and fully dressed (in my lightest possible clothes!). It is a mind-f*ck to see a higher number than I am used to seeing but it's all relative. The difference from start to finish would be the same if I started on this scale. After this week it won't matter. I am planning to attend meetings on a week night but weigh in on Friday mornings when the centre opens at 7:30 a.m. I prefer a morning weigh in and I often have meetings on Thursday nights where we have dinner catered. This will help me be more mindful of portions and of the sodium content if I know I am weighing in the next day. Wish me luck!
I was really faltering for a few weeks. There was a 50% off promo for 6 months so it made sense to sign up now. The fee per month is about what I would spend on eating out twice a month (which I rarely do anymore) and this will get me through my hardest parts of the year - Summer/Fall (Thanksgiving and my birthday) and Christmas. My pass expires January 4, 2018 at which time I hope to have decided on a goal weight. I also suspended my YMCA membership until November because I would much rather be hiking and walking outside for the short time we have such nice weather. Cancelling the Y offsets the cost of my WW membership for 6 months so no change to my budget!
My sister is renting a condo with a pool and gym and so I can also use that if I find I am missing the treadmill or stairmill - as if!
Onward and downward :)
Not a bad weigh in. I think a support group would be nice. But I can't sign up for anything like that right now. I just count my online friends as my "group".
ReplyDeleteI hope this is just what you need to get you through the second half of the year. Sounds like you have a good back up plan.
I hope you like going to the meetings! I've heard some great success stories from people who attend them regularly.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to Weight Watchers, I weighed in, but I used my weigh-in at home as my "official" weigh in for consistency. I weigh in at home first thing in the morning, no clothes (too much information yet? Ha ha), and since obviously I couldn't do that at WW, I didn't want to screw with my head when I saw their numbers after eating, drinking, wearing clothes, etc.
