Day 80 - Weigh In!

by Bill Wallace on June 26, 2008

Today was a good day.

It was weigh in time and after my business trips I felt like I was back on track. As I drove away from the office on my way to Jenny Craig’s for the weigh in I was thinking 500g would be good as a “loss”.

To maintain some consistency I always try and wear similar clothes and ensure my shoes are off and pockets are empty as I step on the scale. And because I am trying to increase my water intake I also try and go to the bathroom (i.e. toilet) before I weigh in. I hadn’t had that much water today so didn’t bother.

Okay, enough preamble … 81.2kg … a loss of 700g!

So, a good day, a good weigh in and, had I gone to the “loo”, it would have dropped another 300g (I went when I got home.) Okay this post is turning gross. Sorry folks! :)

Forward Planning

I’m beginning to plan the weekend, so here’s an update of the immediate few days activities:

Friday Night: 100 Push Ups, Week 2, Day 3 - 69 in total

Saturday: 500 m swim (this will get me to 1.5km against a 5km target for the month. Not where I want to be but not bad from someone who never used to swim at all)

Sunday: 5km run and try to break 23:00. This will take some mental resolve as I know there’s no pressure to do so. There’s nothing riding on it and just doing a 5km run is a good thing.

Sunday Evening: 100 Push Ups Challenge: Interim Test - do as many push ups as I can

Monday: Back to Jacob’s Ladder - not a fan of the ladder but it’ll help when I do the City to Surf, so I just have to suck it in!

I hope you’re going well.

Good stuff on the loss. I personally prefer the old nude first thing in the morning weigh in but I guess that’s not an option with your program. ;)

True, true. When I first did the morning weigh in I felt I was cheating in some way but, when you have clothes on you will obviously weigh more and that isn’t the true weight, so nude is the way to go really. :)
But you’re right, I’m not sure how the folks at JC would react to a middle aged man stripping down to his boxers at least! LOL
