I skipped the scale this morning.
I know, I know. That's not exactly conducive to being accountable and persistent in my goal, but I decided it was best for me this week. I know the number was not going to be good. I spent the weekend with friends and indulged in some good foods. I am also dealing with a few other issues I won't go into on here because, trust me, you don't want to hear them.
So, I'm bypassing the scale this week but focusing on what Weight Watchers likes to call "non-scale victories" (NSVs). Outside of my indulgent eating, I really had a good week. I am getting better about drinking water, and I actually remembered to take my multivitamin every day last week. (I'm adding some more vitamins this week.) I did two of my regular workouts and then tried Zumba with my friends in Minneapolis. It was fantastic, and I could definitely see myself doing Zumba on a regular basis, whether it's a class, a DVD or a Wii game. I'm exploring all of those possibilities.
I still have some areas to improve on though. I really need to regulate my sleep patterns. That won't be possible this week with Relay For Life on Friday (read: I'll be up all night), but it's definitely something I'm going to focus on in the coming weeks. I also decided to set an activity points goal to make sure I'm doing my workouts each week. I'm setting it at 12 right now, but if I find myself consistently reaching it (I hope!), I will raise it.
The important thing is that I don't give up when I'm having a bad week or a bad day. This is a journey, and there are going to be bumps in the road, but if I keep at it, I will eventually get where I want to be.
