Up and Down, Down and Up!

Well, my weigh in today was disappointing. I was bummed that it was what it was. Yesterday when I weighed, I was 239.8! I was really excited that I'd be able to report a loss, but today it was 242.2 Bummer! Well, I am going to keep at it and not let a few numbers mess with my head and mess me up. I'm determined to stay strong and keep going with this. I am feeling better and feeling the effects of eating well. So, it might not show on the scale, but I do see differences. I'm going to keep my positive outlook. Here's to another week!

  1. Just say NO to #'s messing with your head. :) I know it's frustrating to see a loss one day and a gain the next, but we really can fluctuate so much from day to day, even from hour to hour. I'm glad you are still feeling better and seeing the results of your hard work in other ways! Love.

  2. Janie, I am proud of you. Posting a gain hurts the ego, but it is just a number. I know you are heading in the right direction. I love you and I am so glad that we are in this together. I had a rough week too. I'll bet next week is awesome for both of us. We have to focus on having perfect days every day. YOU, WE, CAN DO THIS!!!

  3. Janie,
    You gotta know that it is NOT POSSIBLE to gain two pounds overnight. Sometimes the scale is wacky with water retention, etc. Kristina and Anna are right--the scale is just one (sometimes fickle) measurement of your success. You're doing great and you'll show a great loss next week!

  4. I say to heck with anything but what you know you need to do to "succeed" according to your own barometer. A pound up or down from week to week means squat. What mattes is your fitness level. The weight will take care of itself over time if you are consistent with good habits. You don't have to be perfect, just consistent. Take no prisoners!

  5. Thank you all so much for your comments on this particular post. I appreciate it so much. It has been very encouraging to me. I feel like I just need to keep at it and realize that I am making progress. I actually know I am making progress. I can see it! :) Anyway, thanks again! I love you!
    Janie
