For the non-Christians out there, Communion Sunday is all about forgiveness. We think about what we've done wrong, ask for forgiveness and repent of the sin. This is fitting with my weigh-ins because I do not always do what I'm supposed to do - or eat what I'm supposed to eat.
Like most women, I love chocolate. And while I know dark chocolate poses many health benefits, this sistah loves pecan turtles...absolutely NO health benefits there! I also love cheese and when I read that full fat cheese is good for you, I went a little overboard in its consumption. So yeah, when I rise on Communion Sunday, I step on the scale and head to church to ask for forgiveness. And it just so happens, today was the day.
I was a little excited about weighing myself this morning. I was confident that although I'd cheated on my diet the first two weeks in July, I made up for it these last two weeks. Boy, I was so wrong. Here's the breakdown thus far:
 |
| The scale is the devil! |
May 6: 158 lbs
June 3: 154 lbs (-4 lbs)
July 1: 151 lbs (-3 lbs)
August 5: 149 lbs (-2 lbs)
I don't understand why I'm losing less weight each month. I'm going to have to keep a food diary to track my eating habits. I'm pretty good with the workouts, but I need to monitor my diet better. I also understand that a hard workout doesn't make up for a bad diet (read this to find out why), so I probably need to tape that message on the kitchen wall.
