Officially, from this morning's scale reading, Chip is sitting at 200.1, which is down 2.5 from last Saturday. Which, whatever, that's great. But Chip is less than pleased, seeing's how (yes, Chip is a little hillbilly) she had a kick-ass week and was 198 at her sneak peek WI on Wednesday!!!!!!
I don't know. I guess here's where daily weigh-ins would be good, because you see weird fluctuations for what they are and don't flip out over them. But I still think it would drive me even more nuts in the long run to step on the scale every single day. I think I'll continue weighing on Wednesdays as sort of a midweek checkpoint. I guess Tuesday would be the exact middle point, but I'll give myself a little extra grace after the weekends.
On to challenge results. . .
Water: Check! This one was a big eye-opener for me. Water has never been a problem for me. I'm the one who's up to use the restroom every hour because I'm constantly drinking water. (After the morning caffeine, of course.) Except, somewhere over the last year, I haven't been. I didn't realize how out of habit I had gotten until I noticed myself in the bathroom so many times last Saturday and thought "Ohhhhhhh." So I thank Choco for bringing this to my attention, because I would've gone on thinking about how awesome I am at hydration and not ever worrying about it. I did meet the challenge, but there were a couple days of chugging it in the evenings.
Organization: Not so much an official check, but definitely a check in spirit. I didn't follow my plan to the letter, but I made healthy choices. AND, I graduated from the notebook to an official calorie-counting app, AND have been faithfully using that app every day! Which is huge. The part I followed of this challenge was the "it's not an option" part. Even if I wasn't eating what I had planned, I still stuck to one portion of whatever I was eating because it wasn't an option not to. And that will stay with me, I think.
CHIP CHALLENGE #3: FRUITS & VEGGIES!
4 servings/day! (See, I'm not even going full-scale USDA on this one so it should be totally easy.) We know why, blah blah blah.
