About weekly weigh-ins

Hi there,
Sorry I've been away the last week, but a nasty cold has been making rounds at home. This also meant that I haven't been able to keep with the exercises, but I'll get right back on the wagon once this cold is gone.

Meanwhile, I had a wonderful conversation with Ranjani, a friend of mine from Uni. She had some interesting feedback on the weekly weigh-ins. Click here to read the comment she left on my last post. I've always been a weekly weigh-er (hey, did I just come up with a new word?), which has been a motivator for me. But  I'm going to tryo ut the monthly weigh-ins to see how it works as a motivator.

Also, do read this interesting article on weighing in.

More later,

3 days no walk :(

Hey, all my efforts seems to be going down the drain in just few days. My in-laws are here from India and they have come loaded with sweet home-made goodies, now how do i resist all those temptations !

Have not gone for walk for the past three days, absolutely not done ! I cant just sit and watch the time passing by. Hope to squeeze out some time during the day.

Hoping for the best !!

Hi Meena and Priya,
Happy New Year wishes first of all !! Sorry for not being regular here. Reading the earlier posts has really encouraged me to keep writing.
I have not yet managed to check my weight which i have not tracked for months now or say year. But whatsoever i have increased my walking time starting this year.I was managing with 30 minutes walk 5 days a week but now i push myself for atleast 40 minutes for the full 7 days.

The thing i am not able to do is to watch what am eating.If am hungry i will grab the big piece of cake n then regret later no doubt! But the thing i have started every morning is to drink a glass of warm water with lime n little honey.Its said to be good for health as well helps in losing weight..so some motivation to do it every day !!

The game starts now

I've put down things I ought to be doing such as drink plenty of water (which somehow I never manage to do), prepare a healthy lunch to take to work, watch my caffeine intake, exercise etc. But first I need to find the courage to look at the scales (I can just imaging a sharp shoot up). Its been 3 weeks since I weighed myself. Prior to that I had watched the scales gradually move up and when i couldn't take it any longer, I just out it away and made up my mind to start disciplining my body from Jan 1 (a very deadly mistake) since now I find myself walloning in regret and if only i hads. Well, no use crying over split milk. Time to take charge and slowly erase the mistakes of December. 2011 - Start afresh, repair broken relationships and maintain a healthier body and mind. After all, if I want my children to lead a healthy lifestyle, I need to be an example and not a hypocrite.

3rd Weekly Weigh-In: Meena

Hi there,
Welcome back, Joice. Nice post! I sooo get that holiday wieght gain. But this year let's make it different. We are going to kick these temptations!

I'm a couple of days late, but here's my 3rd weekly weigh-in:
Weight: 74 Kgs (aaarrghhhh! Wanted to kick my weighing scale this morning...)
BMI: 32

Another week and yet no movement. I've been regulating my food intake (since new year's) and portion sizes, keeping a food diary, etc. I've recommenced my workouts., I'm sarting light with 30 minute cardio sessions in the last two days. I didn't expect any miracles, but a tiny change would have been great. Maybe even half a kilo. Sigh...anyways, I'm not going to let my scales discourage me. Hopefully next week, it will be a little better.

Cheers,
M

2011

2011 brings in hope, new opportunities, anticipations, new goals and along with everything it has also brought along new weight and a more visible tummy. Sigh.. the penalty of devouring all the food during the holiday season. With anniversary and B'days coming up...do i have any hope of losing at least an inch and few pounds? Only time and my frame of mind (hopefully a very fierce determination to say no to all the temptations) at that moment in time will show my fate.

Happy New Year!

Hello buddies and cheerleaders!
Hope you had a wonderful New Year's Day and celebrations. Along with a wish for a wonderful 2011 filled with cheer, happiness and all things wonderful, I also wish that everything you set your mind  to this year comes true through determination, persistence, commitment, hard work and God's blessings.

Cheers,
Meena
