Scale Whore Update

The Scale Whore Challenge is going along VERY well.  I feel way more in control of my eating since Thursday, for some reason it seems that lately I do better with my eating choices on the weekends and I have a harder time during the week while I’m working.  It’s weird because it used to be the opposite of that.  Not quite sure what that means. 

So far I am meeting every single one of the goals I set out for myself for Week 1 of the Challenge.  I’ve been eating under or just at my calorie goal of 1450, I’ve been exercising and I hadn’t weighed myself until this morning under my allowed 1 weigh in between last Thursday and this Thursday. 

Do you want to know what the scale said?? 

Marc weighed himself as well.  He started at 296.9lbs and this morning he weighed in at 291.7lbs for a lose of 5.2lbs.  Woo Hoo!! 

I almost did not weigh myself this morning.  I was nervous.  What if I weighed myself and the Scale Whore couldn’t be contained for the rest of the week?  What if it was not a great number and I lost all my focus and determination?  Or what if it was a great number and I decided to go off the deep end with my eating choices?

I decided to be brave.  I started at 314lbs even and this morning I weighed in at 307.4lbs for a loss of 6.6lbs!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-freakinggggggggggggggggg-hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I’m so happy with this development; I’m almost at my 7lb goal for the week.  Yayayaya!!  Also it is a new low for me, 102lbs lost!!! 

I really think this Scale Whore Challenge was a great idea for me.  I need to not focus on the number so much because I find myself justifying poor calorie choices or less exercise or using more exercise to compensate for high calorie days.  I’m starting to try to come up with my goals for Week 2 of the Scale Whore Challenge.  Any ideas or suggestions??  You read my blog enough to know what I struggle with. 

This weekend we had a really fun time going to the park and playing Frisbee.  I haven’t done simple things like this in years.  I actually liked running to chase the Frisbee down!  I’m really enjoying being outside and enjoying that my body can do activities like this without wanting to curl up and die.  Yesterday we didn’t do much, we had a lazy day and around 5PM I found that I was bored out of my mind and craving to do something a little more active.  Granted, I didn’t get off my butt and do something but it made me realize that I have way more energy than I used too.  Sundays used to be the day where I would lay around and do nothing, I think it was part laziness, part no energy and part recovering from the week at work.  My body doesn’t need that lazy day anymore, it’s a great NSV. 

Happy Monday Everyone!!
