Laurie: It may not be what a small part of you was hoping for, it is still a good number and it sounds like you understand why it's doing what it's doing. So that's good.
Diane: When you know that the only reason you're not wanting to do a work out is because you don't feel like it mentally, then sucking it up and pushing through is always the only good option. And you always end up feeling better afterward. And I'm glad that I can provide support.
Jen: All that matters is making sure it works for you. If stepping on the scale everyday is going to make the process more difficult for you, then I think you're on the right track. I'm working on C25K, too! Sort of. I'm not actually sticking strictly to their recommended schedule. It is important to me to increase my speed as well as my distance and, given that I'm running cross-country, I've had to make some adjustments.
As for husbands, I can't chime in on that one. I'm in the process of a divorce. But it's a GOOD thing.
Uber: It was nearly a no-loss week for me, too. We all know that it's going to happen eventually. Hang in there, though, it'll pass. Maybe he was more liberal or it may it's just one of those weeks.
Nori: They have been known to for some people, but my lack of appetite pre-dates the supplements. From as early as middle school, probably connected to my depression, I didn't eat because I was hungry but more because I knew in the back of my mind that I had to consume something. In fact, since the supplements, I've found myself eating more regularly. And this last week I've felt like no matter how much I'm shoveling into my mouth, I'm still hungry. The upside, I stopped by the store last night and got some veggies and blueberries and so breakfast today was awesome.
I'm glad you've found something like that that works for you with the scale. It's always incredibly important to do that.
Mandy: I'm still so excited for you and your family. I can't wait until you get all settled into that house and start sharing photos of the inside with us!
As for me...
Sigh. The scale was back up to 222.0 lbs today. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a weigh-in day, I probably wouldn't have recorded the number. Also – wth, scale. The first time I stepped on it this morning, it returned 201.0 lbs. Are you kidding me!? Even more evidence that I think I need to break down and buy my own scale. A new scale. A scale that hasn’t lost its mind. >.>
Additionally, today is a rest day for my planks, squats, and calves. Will be running during my walk with Luna today. I’ve got a full 7.5 hour day at work today so I’m pretty relieved that it happened to coincide with a rest day from my strength training exercises. Between the rest day and the fact that I picked up a bunch of blueberries and veggies, I'm hoping that this ridiculous hunger that hasn't wanted to go away for the last week will start to diminish. Hopefully.
