title pic Weightloss Wednesday: Progress

Posted by Alli on August 29, 2007

I got scolded by the Weight Watchers weight tracker this morning:

WELL DONE! You’ve recorded a loss this week. That’s great news!

However, we notice that you’ve lost more than an average of 2 pounds per week over three or more weeks. This rate is too rapid — it may be unsafe or unhealthy.

2007_08_29_scaleI lost 2.5 pounds. I last recorded my weight on Friday, which is probably what triggered the upset nature of WW’s congratulations notice. What the Weight Watcher’s weight tracker doesn’t know is that 1) I was on my period this past week and 2) I ate two Krispy Kreme donuts last evening. So, who’s unhealthy now?

Oh wait, that would still be me.

Well, 2.5 isn’t anything to sneeze at and I am really proud of myself. I worked harder at moving more. I did Pilates one day and then remembered why I had a hard time being motivated to do it again- I don’t really like it. I mean, it is ok, but I always feel like I am doing it wrong. During “The Hundred” (I do it on a mat) I shake like a leaf. Is that normal?

Weightloss Wednesday LogoThe weather has cooled down a bit (low 90s is definitely cooler than 103) so I think we will be able to walk more in the mornings. I started looking for more ways to add steps to my walk and Damon suggested I zig zag from block to block, which I think will help.

Here’s to decreasing numbers and cooler weather.

Update: I realized today my wedding ring fits back on my finger comfortably. I was wearing it, but it wasn’t very comfortable. Now I am comfortable again. Whoo!
