Time to make some changes.
I've spent the last 7 weeks with my scale (mostly) in the closet, so I've been forced to rely on non-scale progress to keep me going. And, luckily, it's been working. I've noticed subtle changes ~ including a new size 10 jean! :-) ~ and I've been happy with that. However, after stepping on the scale this morning, I'm not too thrilled to see that the number hasn't changed. I'm exactly where I was 3 weeks ago. Nothing more... but nothing less. I should be happy, but losing weight is still my ultimate goal. So, I've decided that it's time to get back to the weekly weigh-ins. I'm obviously doing enough that I'm maintaining where I am and I'm not gaining anything. But, what I really want to do is lose a little more weight.
I'm hoping that getting back to my weekly weigh-ins is just what I need to get the job done.
Aside from my weight not budging for the last month or so, my scale-free experiment has been very good for me. I've managed to re-program my brain so that I don't need to constantly step on the scale. I've seen first-hand that physical changes can still occur even when your weight doesn't move. I've also learned that I need the accountability of weekly weight checks. I've talked to my trainer about this latest plateau, and we've switched up my cardio a bit to hopefully kick my weight loss back into gear. I'm looking forward to seeing if this helps. I hope everyone has a great week!
