I think I need a new scale. We have the Aria scale, and the past month every time I step on it the weight is across the board. I mean from 99 pounds to 126 pounds to 150 pounds to 148 pounds. I weighed myself in London on a traditional bathroom scale and was 148 when coming home. Today, I am back at 150. I put it down but I do not believe it; I feel lighter, I went over a notch on my belt this week, and my jeans are looser. To be honest before starting this journey that is how I weighted myself. Now that my rant is over let’s check out Fit at Fifty Week Twelve. By the way do you have a favorite scale?
I can just tell you how much I am loving SPIN at home. OMG – I have become addicted. Who am I? I can officially say buying a spin bike for at home use has been one of the best things I have ever done. I have worked up to 90 minutes on the bike, and honestly love it so much I could keep going. Quitting the gym may be one of the best things I have ever done!
Beginning Weight: 148
End of week: 150
Successes:
- Worked out 5 days in a row and honestly I LOVED it
- Portion control is under control, and I do not feel hungry or crave sugar
- Losing belly fat; I feel it melting off
Failures:
- Still have not had a chance to get a proper eating plan into place which I want to focus on while being home this week. I really think I need more protein.
