Remember a few blogs ago when I said that I would not weigh myself between posted weigh-ins? Well, after a few days of mini-binging, I decided that it would be a good idea for me to step on the scale today - Saturday. As I have said before on this blog, weekends are the most difficult days for me to stick with my diet and exercise plan. I thought that if I weighed myself today, and knew how much I weighed, then I would probably stick more closely with maintaining a healthy routine. I was certain because over the last few days I have been sneaking in several un-photographed snacks, that I would have gained some weight. imagine my surprise then when I saw the number - 225.0! I guess that's motivation to keep me going. I wasn't going to eat breakfast, and was contemplating not working out. But, the number on the scale motivated me to do so. I feel slightly ashamed that a number can have this effect on me!
I think in the future I am going to do this weekend weighing thing. I will weigh myself on Saturdays to maintain motivation to have a healthful weekend. and, I will post my blog weigh-in on Mondays as usual. I guess I'm definitely in the 220s now. I have updated my goals page.
I am also noticing that the novelty of taking pictures of everything I eat is wearing off. Especially when I go on mini-binges, I don't photograph what I eat. Today, I forgot to photograph all my meals except breakfast. I think I might experiment with trying a different way of tracking and posting here.

I think weighing once a week is perfect! :D I know for me, it keeps me accountable; there are some Saturdays when I want to skip my weigh-in at WW, but I know if I do skip it then I'm more likely to keep eating poorly because I can be in denial. As for the tracking, maybe you can use an online tracker like My Fitness Pal or Sparkpeople, and then post your logs here?
MyFitnessPal is a good one!
I have tried both MFP and SP before. What I found was that it works great when I used it for "standard" foods that lots of people make. When I make up something not from a recipe, but just throwing things together that I have at home (which I do a lot), or cook Indian food (which I also do a lot), it tended to be a pain. But, I could try again. In any case, however I do it, logging the foods is what help me - it does not matter where or how. When I don't log, I tend to binge.
