Weekly Weigh-in

Good morning!! Today marks the end of my first 6 weeks eating mostly vegan. Although I gained a pound, (with a loss of 15.2 lbs. in the 6 weeks),which is not unusual, I lost another inch in my belly/hips area for a total of 8" there and stayed the same in the waist at 6.5". From past experience, I do know the reason "they" don't want you weighing every day is because your body does flucuate up and down the scale. Some people get all bent out of shape over this, but I use it as a tool to reflect on how I might have done better. Did I drink enough water? Did I eat all the foods I should have had? Did I eat the last meal too late at night? All those things affect your weight. So, I did gain a pound this week, BUT......
I also lost an entire pant size and top size during the past six weeks, and for that I am so very thankful!!! I tried not checking the scale daily this week, but that really does not work for me, so I'm going back to the daily weighing, just as I take my blood pressure and my blood sugar levels each morning. It just works better for me!!
