Awaiting tomorrow's weigh-in...

I've gotten up early to eat breakfast before every workout, avoided eating out and stayed in my target calorie range all week. I've also stayed off the scale. That has been so much harder than I expected. I have spent most of my life avoiding the scale as much as possible, unless I'm dieting. Then, I weigh every day-sometimes in the morning and at night. Rick told us the after the first workout that it was imperative we do not weigh on our own. In an effort to follow all the rules/advice, I have not stepped on the scale but I am dying to know how I've done this week according to the scale.  I have a pair of pants that buttoned and zipped, but when I wore them they were uncomfortable and dug into my sides so I'd stopped wearing them. Honestly, I am pretty sure they would not have buttoned last Sunday night. I wore them Friday and they fit comfortably. I have made better food choices all week & moved more than I have in a very, very long time. I've gotten to know my co-workers better and met some really cool people who have already been down this road and are living much healthier lives. For these reasons, I consider this first week successful no matter what the numbers say, but I am still anxious for tomorrow's weigh-in.

  2. It is so funny how the temptation to want to weigh yourself always seems to be a struggle. We just want to know how we are doing. It sounds like you have been doing the right things so you shouldn't have anything to worry about tonight. Keep working on following the nutritionists' guidelines and working out properly and you will see good results.

  3. I seriously had an argument with myself this morning about weighing myself. The devil on one shoulder was justifying it saying "weigh yourself so you can compare with their scales" then the angel on my other shoulder said "they asked you not too & who cares how the scales compare"....I didn't do it but it was a struggle.
