I really wasn’t sure what to expect at this weigh-in. I had gone to the doctor’s office two weeks before and it said that I was eight pounds more than I weighed at home two weeks before, which is a big difference, even though it’s a different scale, I was wearing boots, and it was in the afternoon.
I have been eating three meals a day regularly instead of sometimes only two, like I was doing the month before. I wasn’t sure if eating more, smaller meals would help my weight or not, but I knew I would feel better physically if I didn’t eat so much at my meals and I would feel better mentally if I was eating more often (after all, I do fast for 16 hours a day anyway).
I exercised intensely in the beginning of the month, but then I got sick and that slowed down my workouts. However, I did do more running and I ran a race. I’ve also been stretching more often and I looked into doing yoga at home by streaming YouTube videos to my TV, instead of going to exercise classes, including a yoga class, which is where I believe I caught the cold that I had in the beginning of the month.
So the results of my weigh-in were a loss of 1.4 pounds, 0.5 inches, and 0.2% body fat. I’m exactly the lowest weight I’ve been since doing Paleo/Intermittent Fasting. Maybe I’m on a downward trend and will continue to lose a little more weight in the coming months. It would just be great to lose this belly fat! I’ve been working with my holistic doctor about it, which I’ll save for my next post.
I’m happy about the weigh-in and I’m happy with my weight. In fact, I don’t care whether I lose more weight or not. I will just continue my lifestyle and see where it takes me. To continue to improve my health and wellness is my goal.
How are you in your health journey? Have you made any improvements/changes lately? Or are you stuck? Stay strong!

I’m stuck, but a lot of that comes down to my own fault. When I do buy the things that are great for me like salad, I tend to forget it is in the fridge and it goes bad before I can eat it. *pout* Though one thing that is helping me out, I made some chicken breasts with veggies and some cut potatoes, and baked them up and froze them. So I have three meals I just need to reheat and I have a healthy meal. Makes it a lot easier. The goal this next year is to really buckle down and change the lifestyle and be more active.
Getting healthy takes desire, commitment, and consistency. Any time is a good time to start. 🙂
The holidays have made staying on track difficult but not impossible. I’ve done better, but I’ve also been worse, so I can’t complain. I will be glad when the weather allows for more outside activities.
I don’t compromise my eating during the holidays. It’s a lifestyle for me and I’m not a big holiday celebrator, so it’s fairly easy for me to stay on track. Have a happy New Year, Donna! I can’t wait until warmer weather too!
