Weigh-In #9 and Goal

-photo by everyeskimo-


Current weight: 205.4 lb.
Difference: -2.6 lb.
BMI: 28.6
Difference: -0.4
% body fat: 30.27%
Difference: -1.73%

I'm a little skeptical. Because I've been 207 all week except Monday and Tuesday which are my historic low days. I'm ecstatic to see the number, but I have trust issues with this scale. However, it must have reformed because no matter how much time I've given it between weighs it is exactly the same. I generally don't drop quickly and maintain it. My weight sort of spirals downward with highs and lows trending less but fluctuating 2-3 pounds. I'm hedging my bets aren't I? Well, there we have it and I'm gonna do my best to beat it next week. I'm 205.4!! Woo-hoo!

goal


I've been rethinking my goals. I want to break down my current goals, and make them more achievable. Or punch up some of my other goals and get more motivated and driven by them. I was listening to this last night: Setting Goals It really helped focus me.

I'm thinking about my dinner goals (I didn't forget 4-5/7 if you count leftovers) and breaking them down more. I need to amp up my running goal or find something to provide more incentive. I need to START strength training. So my goal today is to solidify my direction in time for a post on Monday.

Chickadee update: HOORAY! We don't have anything significant to report. We go back to the specialist in 6 months, but we don't have to do the heinous sleep study for a year. *sigh*

    Congratulations on the loss! We weigh about the same - actually yesterday I was 206.8, but after the water flush and lean eating for 2 days, I 'spect I'm down a bit. Good work, and great idea to tweak the goals in order to build in high probability of success.

    I've been meaning to tell you I love the look of your blog. You find amazing graphics! Love the scale today!

    I love the feeling of seeing that number drop. Sometimes it takes few days of fluctuating back up a bit over the next few days before the lower number is there to stay, but just seeing the lower number once means I'm on the right track.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
