Do you use weighing scales as an indicator of weight loss or gain? ? If so, how do you find it? Do you log regularly? Is the number that the scales point to predictable? Reliable?
I’m going to give you some reasons why weighing yourself might not be the best tracker for changes in weight.
A couple of days ago I was meeting a friend for a coffee at the local Starbucks in Sainsbury’s. I was on my own, sans kiddos, and had just got out of my parked car when she drove up behind me… “Why are you parked so far away?” she asked…? I was parked at the outskirts of the car park, furthest from the supermarket doors. “Erm… why not?” I replied…
You went to bed at a reasonable time last night. You think you slept OK …no babies crying, foxes screaming or partner snoring. So you should feel rested, right? But you wake up and you JUST FEEL SHATTERED! You’d understand it if you spent been scrolling Facebook till 1am. Or been to the pub. But you didn’t. You did everything right. So what’s that all about? Well, I have a theory.
Whenever I’m sorting out admin or life in general, I have two piles. A “do it now” basket. This is usually (both or either) time-critical or easy to do. Like pay bills or unstack the dishwasher. A “too hard” basket. Which has things like clean the oven or dreaded tax assessments (until end Jan when this becomes a ‘do it now’ item). Unlike the oven which never happens. Do you have this too? A “too hard” basket?
