#1082Weigh In
Posted: 7/18/06 at 7:52pmOkay, I'm officially going back on WW. I lost a little weight already this summer because I was at a theatre summer program with lots of dancing and not so much edible food, and I've decided to use that as a head start. I need to lose weight. Gah.

My mother was in town this past week (yes, AGAIN) and I just didn't even attempt to stick to a diet or exercise routine. I haven't formally weighed myself (I can't bring myself to do it) but I'm pretty sure I managed to undue a good month's worth of progress in one week of debauchery.
Back on track nutritionally but have yet to start the workout routine up again. It's been hovering around 95-100 for the last week and a half and I can't afford to run my air conditioner. YUCK.

I actually didn't even make it to dance on Saturday because it is also unairconditioned and the temperature was supposed to get up to 105 (and the studio is always a good 10-20 degrees above outside temp anyway!)
I do not tolerate extreme heat well at all.

Posted: 7/18/06 at 7:59pmI usually don't - I seem to be handling it better this year for some reason. Dance class is still rough though. Those places are NEVER air conditioned, at least not in NYC.

I wonder what the advantages/disadvantages are between working out in AC and not. I, of course, sweat more in the latter. In fact, in enough AC, I barely sweat.
And I've decided that no matter what my weight is doing, my body IS looking better and better. I've never in my life been in better shape!!

I have not once weighed myself during this whole process.
Not purposely, I just don't have a scale. I am dropping clothes sizes and looking and feeling better, so I'm very happy. And when I feel myself putting a little back on, I just cut out some more stuff.

Posted: 7/18/06 at 8:52pmDitto Jerby. I have to weigh myself or I get de-motivated (which I still do pretty easily even when I am tracking weight). I am usually the very last person to see changes in my body, so changes on the scale are what I have to see to know if what I am doing is working or not.

I think it stems from my fear of gaining all the weight back without realizing it. Because I never realized how fat I was when I got there. I would be certain the scale was lying when it said 200+. I would diet and lose weight and then go back to bad habits. I would look the same until BAM the newly gained 10 pounds or more would seem to suddenly appear. So, I do freak when I gain. I have to trust that I will gain muscle weight. I have to trust how I look. I have to trust how the skinny boys clothes do fit--and some are too big now.
Lord--when I type it all out, I sound a lil mental. lol

*sigh*
I'm on my strict, "Hi, I'm nuts" diet. Some people just don't understand and want to stuff cheesecake down your throat because "seriously, whats one piece of cheesecake?"
For me,
"One piece here
One bite there
And I cannot fit
In my underwear"
(I had to make it rhyme)
Yeah, I'm mental, but I have to be, because at this point, my health can't afford not to.
