🌺🌼 July Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge☀️🌸

Well I made a commitment this month to weigh myself first thing every morning. So I thought I would join this group. It will enforce accountability. My goal is simple. Just weigh myself to capture both positive and negative triggers.
7/5- 194 lbs.
7/6- 193.5 lbs.
7/7- 194.5 lbs
7/8- 193 lbs Had a light bulb moment. If you don't weigh yourself every day you are missing the moments when you have lost weight.

@Bemybestby60 Totally agree with your comment about weighing in daily. I now see that number as a data point. I average my weekly weight which gives me a better picture of if I am truly losing the one pound a week. If I only weighed once a week I may have eaten out the night before, spiking my weight often just because of the sodium in restaurant meals or just plain overeating one meal. I don’t put any emotion into the number like I used to- especially don’t let it ruin my day if it’s gone up. I used to detest getting on it. Now I look forward to seeing what the numbers tell me 🧐

I completely agree about logging daily. It has helped me understand how my body reacts to different foods. I try not to get upset when I see an uptick on the scale because it’s about tying to understand what I did and how to fix it. My goal is improving my overall health so I feel better, look better and most importantly that my body responds better! I am in my 50’s but there are days when I feel much older than that… I am slowly trying to rebuild the body I let go!

I have done horribly this month. Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of us finding out my daughter had cancer, so I think I'm mentally checked out. However, I did start exercising more this week. Is it normal to gain a pound or two when you first start working out?

7/10 - 273

@Tbris4 Yay! There are so many ways to get that protein in. My daughter bought me a Ninja Creami for Christmas. I make “ice cream” using a cup and a half of homogenized milk, a scoop of protein powder, and a touch of vanilla. Gives me 37g of protein. Had that for lunch today. It feels like cheating 🤷🏻‍♀️
