Weighing in

So it's Saturday, that means that it's been 7 days since I last weighed myself. As I mentioned in an earlier post I'm not going to weigh myself throughout the week but I think I should weigh myself weekly to help keep me on track. I've heard or read somewhere that you can reach a plateau when losing weight and it can be hard to keep the weight loss going. My plan is that if I start having a few weeks where there isn't much or any weight loss that's when I'm going to start to add some weights into my exercise routine. Nothing too much but I'd like to get some dumbbells and do a little bit of upper body work. Biceps and things like that, things I can do in the garage or in the house. Hopefully that will be enough to kick things into gear again if the time comes.
My diet has basically been the same as always for breakfast and dinner. I'm got over 10,000 steps Monday through to Friday and most days I've had a wrap with cold meat and salad for lunch. I haven't had a chocolate or can of coke all week, I did have half a glass of post-mix coke on Thursday but that was more because I wasn't thinking when I was ordering. Apart from the two biscuits on Sunday night I haven't snacked on anything between meals, well kind of.. we did have a morning tea on Tuesday and I had a couple of party size sausage rolls and some sort of sticky bun but I got a small wrap for lunch to try and compensate. Friday we also had a morning tea but I then skipped lunch entirely. No beers were drunk Sunday through Thursday and I'm finding it fairly easy so far to do all of this, which I find surprising. I've tried reducing my junk intake before and really struggled to do exactly what I'm doing now. I think writing the blog is helping me stay focused and keeping me on track.
The scales we have are just the ordinary bathroom scales, I don't know how accurate they are but they only go up to something like 125kg so I was pretty surprised when I almost made it do a full lap of the dial last weekend. I don't really care if the scales are accurate or not, as long as I use the same scales each week then I should be right.
Ok, I said I wouldn't drag it out, so here it is, I currently weigh 112kg. As far as I can remember, this is the first time in my life that I've lost weight. I don't usually weigh myself very often but I did know that I was putting on weight as my clothes were getting tighter and my tummy was getting further out in front. 2kg in a week is good result all things considered and I'm happy with it. I can't wait to see how far I can take this and if each weeks gets better, worse, or stays the same.
I've been taking one or both of the kids with me when I've been going for my walks but I think that they are getting bored with it. That's kind of sad as I enjoy the time with them but it does mean that I could walk a bit faster and a bit further if they were not with me. I hope that they still come with me occasionally.
Today didn't go exactly as planned as far as walking was concerned. I should have done something this morning. After lunch I was pretty busy with dropping my wife at work, getting the kids ready for swimming and then taking them there. I had planned on going for a walk during the swimming lesson but it was my daughters first lesson in the big pool so I decided to stick around and give some smiles and encouragement. I'm glad I did that as I enjoyed it and I think it help her get through it. It then started raining, only lightly but the kids were tired from swimming so I couldn't take them with me as my wife was still at work I was stuck at home. I then needed to pick my wife up from work and then cook dinner. I think I need to have a plan B for the weekends, maybe I don't stress about the number of steps I do and do some weights at home instead, I'll think about it some more.
