I was shocked to see another 1.5 drop on the scale this morning. That makes 5.5 since last Saturday! I am not going to log it though until I am convinced it's not just a fluke. Most likely, I'll be up tomorrow because today is a "refeed" day (higher carbs and calories). Yes, I am obsessed with the scale! I do weigh myself daily, but only because I find it encouraging when I see a drop mid-week. Why wait a whole week for that boost to the confidence? Of course, if I had any other scale, I may not feel this way. I am one of the fortunate ones who owns a scale that is actually stable. I can stand on it 10 times in a row, even moving it to 10 different locations, and I get the same reading every time. It's just a plain ole digital scale; nothing special. I've had it for years and I've even tried to replace it a few times with fancier versions, but I found that almost every other scale I've tried fluctuates wildly. I know it's pretty accurate too because I got the same weight at a recent doctor's appointment with a real scale.
Anyway, today, as mentioned already, is my higher carb/calorie day. I will try to hit 1900 calories, 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fat. It is actually a bit of a struggle to achieve this level of calories! Probably because I still try to eat clean and 1900 calories of healthy food is a lot of food! Of course, I could easily exceed 1900 if I incorporated some junk, but I am trying to save treats for special occasions once or twice a month.
I'm so close to dipping below 250, especially with today's reading. I am looking forward to that milestone. I have been trying to figure out how I will reward myself. I don't really want to buy new clothes until I absolutely have to. With 100 pounds still to lose, I will have to buy several mini wardrobes along the way so I'm trying to mimize it as much as possible. I have been regularly visualizing myself at my goal weight. Since I've actually been there many times, I know exactly how it feels and that helps with the visualization. Oddly, this really motivates me. Sometimes it even gets me through a difficult workout.
I'm off to walk outside. We are enjoying an unseasonably warm December. Highs near 50 all week. Since I hate how long winter can be in New England, this is a nice treat. Hopefully it doesn't mean winter will last till April! After my walk, I will take my blasted accounting final. I don't feel prepared, but I just want it done! It's been a tough course so I am not feeling overly confident. Hopefully I don't bomb it. Finally, tonight hubby and I will decorate the tree.
