Tales from the Scale: Weeks 32 and 33

KayLynn · September 3, 2013 · 1 Comment

You might remember I had to miss attend an out-of-town funeral the weekend before last so I didn’t weigh-in.  It was good to get back to the meeting and get back on track; you’ll see what I mean by that statement further down.

This past week’s Weight Watchers meeting topic was about getting back into routine.  Exactly what I needed and I loved the tips for jump-starting Fall weight loss.  Here’s my favorite one:

Act like a new member.

This means reading all the plan materials, tracking everything (I’m actually pretty good at this one), weighing and measuring portions and planning.  I started by taking advantage of a sale on the new member kits.  There’s materials that are exclusive to the kit including the Success handbook that will be really helpful in getting back to losing weight.

Weigh-In

Although I didn’t make the best food choices while out of town (fried chicken twice in four days) I didn’t overeat.  Where I fell down was when I got home.  For some reason I was craving sweets and had way too many cookies plus chocolate.

The result was I gained back some of the weight I lost last weigh-in.  I was up .6 pounds bringing the weight loss total to:

28.6 Pounds

Weekly Movement & Nutrition

Exercise was a non-event while I was out of town.  I finally gave in and bought some more pilates classes and went Thursday.  They’ve changed the schedule so it’s now a 1.5 level which incorporates some more difficult moves but I was able to do all of them to some degree.  It was amazing how I’d lost some strength already from a few weeks of non-attendance.

I also got a four day pass to one of the gyms I’m considering.  It’s really more of an athletic club which means a higher price tag but less crowded and with more amenities.  I tried out a Zumba class Saturday which was fun and challenging but I made it through.  Even though I have all kinds of exercise videos, a total gym and weights at home there’s something about a scheduled class that gets me to actually exercise!

Even better I made a meal plan for the week and finally cooked again yesterday.  After not making any progress all summer, I want to get to 30 pounds within two weeks and am motivated.

Challenges Ahead

Having a plan for both exercise and meals gives me confidence that I’ll be doing what I can to make the scale move.  There’s nothing on the schedule that should keep that from happening.

How did your week towards great health go?

    I gained last week, over a pound, but was down just over five pounds for the month of August so progress is being made. Still, I need to kick it into high gear if I want to lose 23.6 more pounds before November 15th (the deadline at work for me to reach the required health milestone to save me $125/6 months on health insurance). My plan is to cut out my evening latte and anything except fruit plus do at least 30 minutes of walking every single day. And, of course, keep up with the WW meetings!
