Is thirteen an unlucky number? Did the spooky scale scare you this week? We shall see......
For “Weighing In”, you should post the following things: (1) your weight loss, maintenance or GAIN (yes, own up to it if it's true) for the past week (2) your personal goal for the rest of the week (try to restrict it to one) and (3) your anticipated non-food reward for achieving that goal. Since it seems we are all choosing to weigh-in on Tuesdays, I will try to create a post for every new week the day before we weigh-in (Mondayish). This would be a good post to add encouraging words for other individuals as well.

Week 13 on Halloween spells bad luck for me... I'm up a full pound. I'm not going to pretend like I don't know why (I didn't journal as planned), but I really didn't eat poorly. I think it was all the stupid chocolates and candies that found their way into my school mailbox that I just couldn't turn down. Sigh. When will I learn that those things still count....
Well, this has been a bad week for me.... Up 3 lbs. But, I know exactly why. It was my birthday and I ate whatever the heck I wanted to. and I don't feel one bit bad about it.
I'm working to re-dedicate myself. I'm looking into either joining a gym or buying an elliptical. Both have their pros and cons, and I'm not sure which way I'm going to go yet. But I know that I HAVE to get some cardio and weight training going to get back on task.
Hi Girls!
I haven't weighed myself in a long time. I am very bad. I am not committed at this time, but a tiny part of me is still trying. I gave all the leftover Halloween candy and cookies to Will and told him to hide them or get rid of them. I started the morning out with oatmeal. I've been feeling sick for a few days from eating junk. I want to feel good again. I've been staring at a grapefruit every time I pass through the kitchen, but I can't bring myself to want to eat it yet. Happy Birthday Lindsay!! My alltime favorite is the elliptical machine, but they are not all the same so be sure to shop around. I really, really want one of my own but I've found I really need to try them out to make sure they are just right. They vary in stride and other things as well. There don't seem to be very many quality elliptical machine stores around where one can try them out. My favorite was at the Whitmore Lake Gym which closed it doors and ran off in the middle of the night. I almost asked to buy that machine. I wish I had when I had the chance. I truly believe it is the best machine for the legs because it eliminates the impact. I personally think this is important when one is overweight because that extra weight is really giving your feet and knees a pounding on a treadmill. It's often hard to get one's favorite machine in a gym, even if you have the luxury of going at any time of the day. I think a good quality home gym would be good. I don't have one, so I can't say from experience, but I think it would be awesome to have a personal gym in one's home. My experience has shown me that putting a piece of exercise equipment in the normal living area does not work.
April, I have decided to join a gym instead. But, if you go on Craig's List there is someone in South Lyon selling a Precor elliptical and it's from a gym. It's the exact kind that I've used before. They are asking $1800 for it. Kind of pricey, but much less than buying it brand new. So, maybe it can be an early Christmas gift for your self!
Although now I know you're doing it anyway, I would say to join a gym. There are more machine options at a gym, and everyone should vary up the activities they do to work out. Plus, you're a social person. I know Mom would enjoy an at-home piece of equipment because she doesn't like all of those other people around. I think we just need to find what suits us best.
