I am so anxious about this week's weigh-in. Not only do I want to lose weight (obviously) but it's also my monthly goal weigh-in, which I really want to meet. At last week's weigh-in, I thought I had it easily met, if not exceeded, since I was only .8 pounds over the goal. I figured that's less that a pound, I got this! But this week has been pretty bad in terms of sodium as far as I can tell. Almost every day has been really close to the daily limit, if not a couple hundred over on a couple days. So all week when I've stepped on the scale, it has read at least 2 pounds more than my weigh-in weight from Sunday. Consistently, all week. So while I keep telling myself "just drink lots of water, watch your sodium these last couple days, it'll be fine..." I can't help but worry the scale is not going to be kind to me Sunday. Logically, I know it has to be water retention, because there is no way I have eaten 7000 extra calories to justify a 2 pound gain.
On a better note though, I have been jogging up the stairs at work every hour like the nutritionist wanted me to do. Thankfully, a co-worker offered to go with me, and then another, so we have a little gang of three. It's really hard to log as exercise though. We do two reps per hour (one rep is 2 flights up, 2 flights down, 2 walks down the hall) and normally go at least 6-7 times per day. For as out of breath as I am from the start, and as frequently as we go, it has to be a good burn of calories. Or at least I hope it is! If I weren't going that, I wouldn't be getting any exercise at the moment, because the sun setting so much sooner has really had an impact on our motivation to go to the gym. We somehow need to break that cycle!
