Weigh-In Week Eleven


185.5 - well how do you like that! I'm down four pounds this week.

Now I'm more convinced than ever that a lot of my weight fluctuations are to do with hormones and water retention moreso than goofing on my diet... though it is worth noting that this is one of the first weeks where I really made sure that I ate all the meals and didn't miss components (as I've been doing regularly since the beginning).

I'm heading into my last week of the semester, so I need to really stay focused on my work, but I will stay mindful not to stray off the diet or let my energy levels lapse by not eating (telling myself I'm too busy to cook etc).

Once the summer begins, I'm going to look for an aerobic or Latin dance class at my gym so that I can start going regularly to something scheduled and assure myself that I'll at least be getting X number of workouts per week. I'm really looking forward to having free time (until I start my summer class at least!) to pack a bag and head to the gym for a few hours - I'm hoping to get a huge jump on toning and conditioning my muscles, as well as developing a regular gym habit that I can continue through next semester and well, indefinitely.

I also hope to have these posts up more regularly throughout the week rather than waiting all week and squeezing them in at the end - I think that writing more currently will help me actually remember the process rather than vaguely trying to recollect details.

(may have to develop a new chart format...)

Weight Loss This Week: 4 pounds
