No Weigh! Challenge–Day 1
Exercise, Mini Goals February 27th, 2008I’ve decided not to weigh myself for one month. Or at least I am challenging myself to weigh myself for one month. I’ve always been a scale lover, especially since I’ve got this great accurate scale, but lately I’ve been finding myself disenchanted with it. Perhaps it’s the stall in weight loss. Of course, the cause of the weight loss is that I’ve been going over my calories, so I have a theory that maybe if I am not sure that I’m at least maintaining, I won’t cheat as much (did that make a lick of sense?).
So, I’ve christened this the “No Weigh!” Challenge and it starts today. I will weigh myself on March 27, one month from now. I figure either way I will gain something from it. Either I will learn that I really don’t need to weigh myself everyday to lose weight or that I need to in order to at least keep myself under control.

“Saving” my calories until later in the day is not working out like I’d hoped. I’m still eating a lot more earlier in the day than I’d like. Still have that to work on!
I did not workout yesterday, it was a planned rest day. I was pretty achy all over, so I think I really needed that rest. Today, so far, I’ve done 30 minutes of The Firm with weights. One day I will make it all the way through lol. I hope to go for a 2 mile run later today. I hope it’s not as cold as it was yesterday.

I miss running so bad! The weather has been do bad here lately that I just can’t get it in! I’m afraid i am gonna lose all my conditioning and will have to start all over!
I am having a hard time too. What worked for me in the summer (No breakfast, super light lunch, whatever I want for dinner is not working for me now. I can’t hang on without breakfast…and eating alight breakfast isn’t helping either! If you find something that works please let me know!

I can not imagine not weighing for a month. I am a scale addict too. Good luck with it though. If it works well for you, maybe Ill try it. You can be my guinea pig .lol.

Leeda–I tried this and it didn’t last long for me. Meaning the no weighing thing. I have made some peace with it and at least I am not weighing daily. Trying to do once a week now. I’ll keep checking back in to see how it goes.
