Weighing yourself is a double-edged sword.
I have always resisted weighing myself too often when losing weight and believed once a week was the way to go so that you don't get disheartened if things aren't happening when you expect it, but then last week it proved to be a good idea because I saw I had put on weight and I could ramp things up a bit and get back on track. Well now I'm confused as to what is best. I have been tracking myself and I've only lost 100g since Monday. I have truly been good.. have been doing my exercise, drinking 2.5l water a day and watching what I eat. I do feel a little down that I'm doing all of this and not seeing much reward at the moment, but I knew when I started this that this is a long journey. it's still a loss and there are still 3 full days till weigh in.
Today was another running programme day, so it was a repeat of the 5 mins warm up, I did it at 4.4kms/hr. Next was run for 90 secs, walk for 90 secs, run for 3 mins and walk for 3 mins, then repeat that again, and finish with a 5 min warm down. I have found that stretching before and after really helps. Todays run was getting much easier so thats good. Running really isn't something that comes easy to me, and it's never been something I was good at, but I feel good that I'm doing this and giving it my best.

Remember sweetheart don't focus too much on the scales but on the inches. The pants that feel like someone has swapped them for bigger ones...sometime it takes awhile for your brain to catch up and even though you are slim you still see a fat person looking back. Remember, to celebrate every victory but never punish the plateau...its a normal part of weight loss and we have all been there, believe me. Love you xxx
