Hello all!
Something circulated yesterday on tumblr that resonated with me: No Weigh May. So I'm going to. [I'm also doing this and this]
To quote myself:
GirlGrowingSmall has set up goals for herself for the No Weigh month, and I liked that and thought I should too.
I
think the only times in the last couple of years that I stopped
weighing myself was when I had stopped exercising, which won’t be the
case here, so I’m scared of the outcome of this month. I’m really scared
it will be like then, and I will gain big numbers. But I also need to
get away from the scale and learn not to depend on it. So here goes.
Goal for the end of May: lose at least 7lbs, putting me nicely under 200lbs
NWM Reward: Something from Disneyland that I’ve been wanting for a while. - or- New and cute workout outfit
NWM
Consequence for gaining, or losing 3 lbs or less: No spending money on
myself for a month. This will be hard for me because when there is a
good sale on fitness stuff or dvds, I like to buy. I rock sales.
It will also make it harder for me to buy a set of 12 lb dumbbells that I've been thinking of getting for Phase 3.
I
realize my goals are similar to hers, but it seems we are in the same
weight range right now so her numbers really reflect what I want.
Bonus
Reward: For making it a month not getting on the scale, I will get
myself 1 movie that I want. Not getting on the scale will be a
challenge alone.
Allons-y!
I also have a caveat to my not losing more than 3 lbs, I will also be measuring again at the end of the month, and if I've made inches progress instead of lbs progress, I will not consider it part of the fail and consequences.
This means a more concentrated effort on being active during the week, with the exception of probably Tuesdays. Everyone needs a rest day.
And holy cow, am I loving phase 2. Although, I haven't done the cardio yet today. Gulp. I know this phase's is longer than 25 minutes. I hope it doesn't have moves that make my HR spike like phase 1. I can't remember. That was over a week ago and I had a busy 4 days at work.
