310.6…. Moving right along towards the next plateau! :D
I joke there, but I think that is something that should be kept in mind in the effort to reduce weight and become healthier. Fluxuations and plateaus happen. They are a natural part of the process. The bod, while a complex highly dynamic survival system, strives is hard wired to resist change and constantly strives for a point of equilibrium when trying for reductions in weight.
From a weight perspective it is designed to store and horde energy reserves against times where food/fuel is simply not available (that is why it is easy to gain for the most part). When trying to lose, it is constantly adjusting things, in an effort to hold on to those reserves. Basically, it doesn’t understand the efforts we are making to affect long term health issues and does its level best to fight us. :P
Where, am I going with this thought? (a question I often ask myself)... I do feel that tracking weight is important even though I discount it often. It is another mindfulness tool. However, when we step on the scale, at what ever frequency, it’s the trends over time we should be looking at and giving weight to in our planning and decision making process, not the number of the moment. It’s those trends that the important information we need to inform our efforts. When the TREND over a time period (I use 3-4 days as my reference) is flat or moving up, that is a signal that what we are doing needs some modification or some other attention.
So in my less than humble opinion (IMLTHO), weigh in as often or as little as you like, whatever fits how your mind/mental/emotional processes work. But focus on watching the trend of time, not the spot number. Try not to let the sometimes daily up and down volatility of that number frustrate/distract/derail you. Look at the trend of what is happening over a reference time period (if you have a lot of that up and down volatility extend out your reference time period) and be ready to make the changes and adjustments that will be needed to keep things going in the you want. Be ready because the bod is a stubborn beast and plateaus will happen! Its natural.
Once again I babble on way to much while I process my thoughts as I form and reform principals in my head that, to me, are fundamental to long term goal of sustainable life change.
I hope everyone has a grand day. Keep up the good work all, keep making the good decisions one at a time that move you closer to where you want to be.
