I Think I've Found a Pattern

So this morning I weighed myself and I was 256.8 - heading back down again.  I looked over my weight checks for the last 2 weeks and I've noticed a pattern.  After I weigh-in on Wednesday, I lose more weight from Thursday through Saturday, then climb back up a little bit Sunday and Monday, then drop back down Tuesday and Wesnesday.  We'll see of that holds true when I weigh-in again tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm going to start the C25K program.  I'm actually getting more and more excited about it.  I think it will be good for me and a good achievable goal that I can feel proud of.  Then I'll consider training for the 10K.  I need to change my mindset from being so scale-focused to being health-focused.  Exercise is beneficial no matter what the number says on the scale.

I've also been using a pedometer app on my iPhone to see how many steps I get in a day.  I know the ultimate goal is 10,000, which is something like 5 miles (or pretty close), but I set my goal at 6,000.  Yesterday I had 1,712.  Not even close.  It's so hard when I work a desk job!  I try to get up and move around often, but there's only so much I can do around the house.  I guess that's another goal I can work towards, and the C25K training should help with that too.
