Weigh In Day

Weigh in day today. I wasn't sure how I was going to do because I only just started the water thing on Monday and I was very naughty and missed a couple of days tracking early in the week so I gave up entirely. But I still lost. Only 300g (.66lbs), but at least I lost. I would like to say that I am not worried about it. I am and I'm not. I'm not because I think it is the water - I don't think my body has adjusted to it yet and it is still holding onto some of it, which hopefully should not be the case next week. But I am because now I am another 1kg behind on my weekly schedule. Oh well, hopefully one of these weeks I will do a huge number and it will catch me up. Right now I am not going to worry about it. What I am going to do is make sure that I keep tracking this week for one. I started again this morning because it is the start of the week and I will make sure I track all week long and I have bought a new set of scales just in case my old ones were out a bit. I am going to keep persevering with the water. From all reports it is going to be better for me, so I certainly hope that is the case because I feel like a big ball of water at the moment lol!! I am going to keep up the exercise. I am so proud of the fact that I have exercised for at least half an hour every single day for two weeks now. I think that is my best effort yet in the exercise stakes. The last thing I am going to do is try my best to eat as close to 200g of protein a day without going over my points. I am finding this difficult, but from what I have googled, that is the amount of protein that I should be eating in order to lose weight, factoring in my current weight and the amount of exercise that I do. I have switched my normal workday morning tea from crackers with vegemite to a tin of tuna, which is actually less points and a lot more protein, and I need to make sure that I have protein with every meal. It means that I will have to plan my meals a lot better. I already plan my nightly meal each week before I do the shopping, but I am going to have to start planning the other ones too. For this week I am not going to stress too much about that though, because I have enough to concentrate on already, but if I just keep it in mind then I will probably end up choosing something high in protein as opposed to not when I am choosing something to eat.

Anyway, here's hoping that next week is a better week and we all see less of each other at the end of it!!
