Week 5: Another .6 pounds down! |
.6 loss. But that's okay...it's going in the right direction, AND I'm appreciating every ounce lost this time around. Still, it's natural to get a little disappointed when others are losing so much faster. This time around, I'm understanding this a little better though. Case in point, I am going to WW meetings with two of my coworkers. My one friend started a full week after me and met her 10 pound mini-goal this week! (in 4 weeks). And that was after spending the weekend on vacation and eating. But the reality is that no two people are alike. There are other factors too: the amount of muscle mass, age, height, metabolism. We're all different, so why should our weight loss be the same? 6.2 pounds lost so far. Woohoo.
On Wednesday (weigh in day), I completed the 7 day assessment wearing my ActiveLink monitor, and I've started this week, trying to meet my daily challenge of earning 2 activity points. The way it works is this: I wore it for a week and it assessed my activity (or lack of). Now that I'm in the actual challenge portion, I wear the monitor every day and it counts all the activity I do. I can check where I am throughout the day. It lights up when I place it on the counter. Each light lit is 25% of my activity goal for the day. So this has gotten to be "fun" for me as I try to make my monitor go up to 100%. So I'm doing all sorts of things to up the activity. This evening, I was only at 75% of my goal. So I asked Neddy if he'd like to play with me...and we hooked up the Wii and did Wii Fit for an hour. It was fun! (Yep, you heard me! Activity was fun.) I have surpassed my goal today...I'm at 111%
So that's it for this week. I'm going to continue on with my activity and tracking and we'll see what Wednesday's weigh in brings.
Hope you're all having a great week!
