Firstly I should apologise for the dreadful lack of updating. I can only blame work here. It has been frantic, and I have written the posts, but not had time to actually publish them. So today, there is going to be a bit of a catch up, with loads of posts all on the same day. I promise to try harder.
As mentioned previously I have decided to weigh daily. I
have a pair of those rather snazzy electronic scales which do weight, body fat
percentage and water percentage. I am not so bothered about water, but I think
in the longer term the body fat readings could be useful.
Lots of diet books seem to think that weighing yourself
every day is a sin second only to eating an entire packet of chocolate Hobnobs
whilst watching back to back editions of Downton Abbey on a Sunday afternoon
when you should be out running 10k. When
I have been trying to lose weight in the past I have been meticulous in
weighing only once per week, at the same time, wearing the same clothes,
etcetera etcetera. The problem is that when I am trying to do something which I
find so difficult I need constant feedback that I am going in the right
direction. Weighing only once per week left me in a perpetual state of worry
that I might be unwittingly going off the rails. Trying to second guess what
was going on was torture. It is bad enough having to fret about whether I have
eaten enough fruit and veg, fibre, slow burning carbs and good fats without the
extra pressure of weigh- in day.
As I have become all independent minded on the weight loss
front I thought daily weighing may well be the answer to the problem. I can see
how things are going and make minor tweaks through the week to rescue things if
needed, rather than suddenly finding I am 2lbs in the wrong direction. I am going to give this a go for a month or so
and see how things pan out.
Be happy.
Miss D.
