The weighing process was a bit confusing for me this week. I first weighed myself right after I’d gotten up – and saw a weight of 119.7 kg/263.9 lbs, which would have brought me back to my weight of January 30th. I was a bit rushed on Friday morning, as I needed to get to a dentist’s appointment. I like my current dentist, but I hate what a visit with him entails – I hate, hate, hate needles! Anyhoo, after my appointment, I felt much more relaxed than I had before and could finally use the bathroom *ahem*. When I got back home, I weighed myself again to confirm the number I’d seen earlier in the morning and strangely enough, the scale read 118.7 kg/261.7 lbs, which would mean a loss of 1.6 kg/3.5 lbs since last week. I am not sure which number to trust now – I reweighed myself about four times with the scale in different places during both weigh ins and the results never deviated from what they had been to begin with. I guess I’ll just have to see what happens next Friday.

The Laddie and I have both been doing quite well with our food and water over the last little while. Valentine’s day was a bit tricky – we most certainly ate more than usual and did not pay any special attention to our total calories, but we’d planned for all of our foods, so we’re fine with how things went.

I will have to bake cake or cookies again tomorrow, as I’ve promised to bring something to our baby playgroup on Tuesday. Since there’ll be about 10 to 12 other mommies who will eat what I make, I don’t think I’m in any particular danger of overindulging or taking leftovers home with me.

I’ve finally managed to read a few things about portion sizes as well and have basically decided to pay more attention to serving sizes specified in recipes as well as the ones displayed on food packages. One thing that the Laddie and I are already doing is to measure out one portion each for next day’s lunch as soon as we’re done cooking, so we’re less likely to overeat – in the past, that kind of thing definetely was an issue.

As far as exercise goes, the Laddie has unearthed my (somewhat light) dumbbells – my mission for this coming week is to start using them three times a week, or rather whenever the Laddie goes to the gym. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure out the correct use of these things and settle into a weight lifting routine.
