Monday Weigh-In 9

It is Friday and I'm over the scale. In fact, I didn't let it slow me down this time, I just haven't had time to post this week until now. The scale doesn't really matter on the short term...I've even considered weighing just once a month. When the weight is gone, it won't matter that I had a weight gain on week whatever. I need to keep going and be faithful to what the Lord is telling me to do.

Since I didn't lose this week, let's evaluate the things He's telling me:
-Start walking to mailbox (done)
Stop eating obvious refined sugar
Drink more water
-Eat more fiber (doing)
-Walk more (done)
Start counting calories, research levels
-Pick up Shake Weight (have moved to dumbbells)
-Wake up earlier, to bed earlier (amazing-doing this!!)
-Get strong (doing this! arm workout, ddp yoga, and walking)
Eat half
-Eat one salad per day
and now: drink 10 glasses water

There's a few areas I'm not excelling in...well, this week I finally did give up chocolate chips (I'm sorry I resisted You Lord), so I think the sugar thing is under lockdown. I do need to increase water, which I'll be shooting for 10 today. I don't know that I need to go back to the calories...I really know what I can have...? I'm not eating half of my dinners.

The scale last Monday:
218.7 pounds

The scale today:
221.2 pounds

Pounds gained this week:
+2.5 pounds

Net pounds lost since May 2, 2012:
-8.3 pounds

Total mileage this week:
6.0 miles

Well, this is silly. For gaining 2.5 pounds, I surely didn't enjoy it!

Conclusion...I want to get out of this 220/218 area! Let's get down under 210 NOW and do this thing! My mantra...k.e.ep.  g.o.i.n.g!
