Oh what a wonderful day it is today. Weigh-in and reward day
and I have done it! I have hit my target for attaining my 1st Lindy
Bop dress by the first weigh in in Feb. I’ve not only achieved it but surpassed
it. My weight this morning measured at 92.4kg/203.7lbs/14st
7.7lbs. Cue the fireworks!
I have learned a valuable and important lesson, to weigh only
once a week because other readings can become skewed. As of last night I was
convinced I hadn’t lost more than half a pound this week. I jumped on the
scales three times yesterday trying to make them say something nice and every
time they told me from 93.7kg even up to 94.2. I was so upset. I had a
(slightly) greater calorie deficit this week than last but I’d gained weight? Oh,
the misery. Imagine my surprise and utter joy when I got on the scales this
morning and they showed me a spectacular result.
After last week’s
great loss and the rate at which I’d lost over the past 4 weeks I was pretty
sure it would start to slow down to one, maybe two, pounds per week. I’m going
to keep working on that principle. If I’ve had a good loss, I won’t expect too
much the next week. Yeah, a great idea in theory.
The thing is, I know myself and I have a perfectionist
streak a mile wide. It’s like taking a test at different levels; week one I
take the easy test and score 100%, the next week when I take the medium test I
won’t be happy with anything but the same 100%, so I’m really setting myself up
for a fall when it comes to the hard test…
