Weigh-ins
I still weigh myself several times a week, but I stopped posting my weight for a while just because I figured everyone was probably sick of watching me fluctuate half a pound every month. I often wish I'd started blogging years earlier when I was really heavy and I could have really shown people progress.
I've gained several pounds in the last couple of months, partly due to some stress and bad eating habits (too much chocolate, onion rings, etc.) and partly, I'm sure, due to gaining some muscle weight, because I have been working out with weights a lot over the past weeks, where I wasn't for a long time earlier in the spring. My clothes still fit well, so I know I'm toning up nicely. I tested my body fat with one of the trainers' handheld devices last week and it was 23.7%, which is down from about 25%, where it was early this year. But I'm going to do the hydrostatic (dunk tank) testing again on July 10, so I'll get the most accurate reading from that.
Anyway, there's always a lot of talk in groups and in the Community about weighing yourself every day, how weight fluctuates daily, etc. I figured, just for fun, I'll track my weight every day this month and record it in my log so you can see how mine fluctuates every day. And I am hoping, by giving up chocolate, onion rings and coleslaw as well as continuing to work out every day, that I'll lose a few pounds this month. But either way, you can watch my progress by checking out my daily log.
