to weigh or not to weigh

To Weigh or Not to Weigh?

After losing weight several years ago, I'm still weighing in everyday. I know that there is some discussion online if it is a good idea to weigh or not to weigh everyday. For me, the choice is to weigh. I was reminded of this when something popped up on my Facebook feed in the memories section. It was about weighing in and BMI. 5 years ago on Facebook - March 2013 - Had a great day the gym yesterday...

During the winter months, it can be difficult to stay the course for maintaining weight loss. Long dark nights. Cold blustery weather. We are almost six weeks into New Year's Resolutions and I find that I need a reminder about what I promised myself. Maintaining weight loss. Developing muscle strength. Cultivating good eating habits. Already this year I've not been to the gym on a regular basis as much as I intended. Maybe two days a week instead of my usual four or five. Generally I go skiing down the slopes at a nearby resort during the winter months.

Three Goals for the New Year

I asked my mother on New Year’s Day if she was making any resolutions for the new year. She said, “No, I’m past all that.” She’s now 88 years old so I guess that makes sense. I sort of want to be past all that too so no resolutions for me. No, instead I’m setting goals. Is that different than making resolutions? I hope so. Instead of saying, this year I’m gong to lose weight and be fit and healthy, which is what I want to be all year long and not just in this year, I’m trying to set clear definable goals. So, here are my top three goals for this year: Goal 1: Run three half-marathons this year [caption id="attachment_315" align="aligncenter" width="225"] Running[/caption] Last year I ran...
