Nature had plans to make the scale look bad but that's okay. What I can say is that the number of 158 is not accurate. I am always 2-3 pounds heavier at this time. I *do* know that eating more calories has made a good difference in losing weight, even with just being 4 days into it. Prior to today's weigh in, I was seeing a .2 loss each day from Monday. There's next week to look forward to. :D
I have been sticking around 1500 calories. I exercised only 3 days this week. That includes skating on Friday, some walking and biking. I've kept drinking my water. I am very excited!
Another sweet thought was that I am actually only about 14 pounds off from my lowest weight and not about 16 this scale reflects. I remembered that my lowest weight was registered on our old scale, of which weighs me 2-3 pounds less than my new one.
Nervously I measured my waist and was encouraged that it was only at 33" versus my feeling that I'm much bigger. My smallest measurement is 31.5". I'd like to be 30 or less.
Have a good week in working towards better health. :D
I'm with ya on the eating more...I just have to make sure that I eat what I'm supposed to instead of what I want to just b/c I need the extra calories. I have learned that Bread,pastas,corn,potatoes all work well with in reason. If I go overboard then I pay for it with the scale. My extra calories have to come from an extra fruit or some more veggies or some sort of protein. Have a wonderful, productiver week!
