This week has been so hectic with Vacation Bible School. My usual schedule is to work out during lunch 4 days a week at the gym, alternating arm work and leg work. Today is arm day. I HATE arm day. I feel like such a wimp. I LOVE leg day. I feel more powerful on leg day. Anyway, I usually walk on the treadmill at home in the evenings for about 45 minutes (long enough to watch a show on Netflix). With this hectic week, I’ve skipped two days of walking. By the time I get home, and get stuff done, it’s 9:30, and that’s way too late to walk if I plan on getting any sleep. So I’ve been walking about 10 minutes in the mornings to make up a little of it. I actually RAN for one minute of the 10 this morning. My legs didn’t like it. LOL
I mentioned last week that I had gained 6 lbs. My weight has gone up and down all week long. I learned in my 15 years experience at Weight Watchers, that it’s not good to weigh every day while losing weight. Once a week is best. But I just had to know what was going on with my weight. This morning, I was back down to within 1/2 lb. of my lowest weight, so I’m back on track. I would REALLY like to get down into the 160’s next week. *crosses fingers*
Okay…time to go work out those arms! Ugh.
There needs to be more hours in the day. It’s frustrating when things get so hectic you have to choose between sleep and doing something healthy for yourself.
Does weight fluctuate when you’re trying to lose weight?
I hope next week isn’t so hectic for you.
Next week should be relaxing compared to this week. LOL. VBS is exhausting. Kids get too excited and rowdy. I have five 6 and 7 year old boys in class. Last night was CRAZY.
Yes, weight can fluctuate from day to day, mostly because of water retention or lack of it. Weighing weekly shows a truer picture.
