Weigh-In Wednesday

So this will be my weekly thing. My weigh-in Wednesday. This will be the hardest day for me with this blog - putting how much I weigh out there in the blog world for essentially anyone to see. But to make progress sometimes we have to get uncomfortable.  I will usually include a picture with my weigh-in, but I forgot to do that this morning.

For my food study, I weigh-in every Tuesday and it's in kg's so I will do the calculation for you.

Today's weigh-in = 90.3kg which is equal to 199.1lbs.

Ouch!!! Those numbers really hurt - but when I look back at my first weigh-in with my food study (4 weeks ago) I was 210lbs. This is good progress. For the eating the same foods every week - this is good progress for me. I have to start somewhere and like I mentioned before - until this food study is over my progress was look a little unusual.

I meet with a trainer 3 mornings a week (M,W,F) at 6am (yuck) and complete a routine of strength training exercises.  I hate weights - typically I don't know how to use the machines and that gives me anxiety. But I am learning. Anyways when the study started I did a 1 max rep session in order to calculate how much I should be lifting. Every 4 week, I will repeat this 1 rep max to see how I am improving. I just did my second 1 max rep session on Monday and I am blown away but how the numbers have jumped in just a few short weeks.

Progress is slow sometimes and that's ok, as long as there is progress that is what we strive for.

I really am excited to be on this journey with all of you.
