Scale how I loathe thee
Feb 12 2008 10:03

Okay first a rant on my scale: this morning, I weighed the same (142.0) in my birthday suit as in a robe with a big wet towel in my hair.  Then, I tried it on the stairs (a flat, wood surface) instead of the small tiles in my bathroom which pushed it up to 143.5 with the towel--which at least makes sense that I'd weigh more with the towel than without.  Then I brought it back into the bathroom and I was 141.5 without towel.  Then, just because I was so irritated, I brought out my OLD scale which said 140.0 sans towel.  Needless to say, I like that number better.  This whole ordeal took up a lot more time than weighing yourself ever should, and I know that, but it's just so da** frustrating! I hate my scale...sigh.  So I might switch over to my old one because, well, it says I weigh 2 lbs less :) And I know that it doesn't mean I ACTUALLY weigh less, but it makes me feel better :)

Did my 3T (Totally Tubular Turbo) workout this morning--I'm still pretty sore from my Sunday strength training (it KILLED my thighs and butt--one legged squats....*shudders*) and the 3T isn't SUPER intense and it's easy to modify so I did that one.  Still a good workout though.  My mom and I have decided to just start working out at home in the AM since it's easier than driving to the gym and back--so I'm pretty happy about that.  Gonna keep on doing the Turbo Jam--so maybe I'll have to buy some more of the workouts when I get a little more disposable income.  She seems to really enjoy it, though--which is pretty fun for me :)

I also monitored my calories yesterday, and ended up around 1300-1400 for the day--which is around what I should be aiming for.  Of course, the last 500-600 were pizza :( But I didn't have any pop and I got in some veggies and fruits.  I found some new Fiber One yogurt--so I'm going to give that a shot since I'm always looking for ways to increase my fiber intake.  Beginning the uphill battle to weight loss again, but right now, I'm feeling pretty good about it!  Just gotta stay disciplined...I really need to work on my veggie servings--they're just hard for me to just snack on.  Carrots make my throat itch--which is really unfortunate cuz I don't like to eat them, and they're the easiest for me to munch! I like dipping celery and red pepper but I can't cut too much pepper at a time cuz I don't eat it before it gets mushy.  Any suggestions? I just don't cook all that much...maybe I should start...I'm just at my b/f's place so often....Oh well.  Anyone have good resources for quick and easy recipes?
