Hello all,
Just a quick update. I have decided to postpone my weekly weigh in for a couple of days. This is basically due to me being on my period at the moment. I really want to weigh myself and get an accurate portrayal of my weight. I know it sounds like an excuse but I don't want to feel de-motivated for no reason. I'm also in a very positive mood, so I'm hoping a couple of really good days will make the scales kinder to me and therefore give me a boost of confidence.
So I will weigh in as soon as it finishes, so by the end of the week.
I'm also thinking of changing my weigh in days/times. When do other people weigh in and what time of the day do you do it?
On a positive note, I ran 2km last night. So I've already completed my weekly Goal! I also timed my Mile - I'm currently running 11.12 Mile, so have to lose 1.12 by the end of this challenge. I think this is achievable.
I also decided that not eating bread wasn't a good goal, so I've scrapped that. I don't eat a lot of it as it is and what I do eat is wholemeal nimble. So about 58 Calories for a slice!!!
Right will Blog more soon. Just wanted to keep you all updated.

Good plan, babe. As I said to you on the phone last night I wouldn't weigh yourself when you're on because you don't get an accurate reading. I weighed myself when I was on and I was 3 lbs lighter when I weighed myself a couple of days later after coming off.
ReplyDeleteI weigh myself on a Wednesday morning.
Yay on the 2k! So proud of you!
As for bread, maybe change the goal to not bread every day instead of not at all?
Much love xxx
I think Nikki's idea is good. You could have bread on some days and an alternative on others for example pitta breads, wraps.
ReplyDeleteI definitely eat waaaay too much bread (about 4 slices a day) so I might steal her advice too! hehe.
As for my weigh day, I tend to weigh myself on Monday evenings after I play football. I chose Mondays because it forces me to eat better at weekends because I know I'm going to weigh myself the following day.
To answer your question on my blog about what I plan to do next. I'm undecided whether to continue to lose or maintain but I do have a new challenge I'll be doing as soon as I hit my goal. I can't reveal anything yet though! hehe
Have a good week, Emily! :)
People weigh in all different days. I weigh in on MOndays but have been considering Sundays. You are on the blog roll. It is sorted by most recent post. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI'd postpone the weigh-in too. I bloat on my period and it sort of drags me down, no point then! :D
ReplyDeleteI think that's a very good reason (not an excuse!) to postpone your weigh-in!! You're doing good - keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI don't eat bread every day as it is heehee
ReplyDeleteNot sure why I even suggested giving it up entirely anyway... I mean how can you can scrambled eggs on toast without the toast... ? lol
I weighed myself this morning and the scales were much kinder! Will update blog tonight!
I weigh in first thing Monday mornings, but I would rather it be Wednesday, so after the SCC I will be going to Wednesday mornings, once a week.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could ever give up bread.
