(Long Overdue) Week In Review

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!
