Work It Like You Mean It


I have today to work really hard and make tomorrow's weigh-in go well.

Do you do anything special the day before you weigh in?

Do you peek and weigh yourself early?
Do you eat a little less?


My tricks?

I make sure I drink plenty of water.
It sounds wierd, but the water actually flushes out all the impurities and helps you lose weight.
Of course, I would've been drinking plenty of water during the entire week.
Not drinking enough water actually makes your body retain the water it already has.
The result? Water weight.

I work my butt off.
I run.
I do an extra cardio workout.

Today I am thankful for my new laptop.
My hubby had to get it for his class, so now I have it at home, and it's super convenient to blog now. Yay!



Last night we ate at Sweet Tomatoes. I had a cup of the Asiago Caesar Salad and half the plate of spinach, 1/4 cup kidney beans, cucumbers, and just dipped my fork in fat free ranch dressing. I also had a cornbread muffin, 1 cup of chicken noodle soup, and 1/2 cup fat free frozen yogurt. Oh gosh. Now that I've written this down I think I may have overeaten. I feel fine though. I don't feel stuffed. I guess we'll find out if I overdid it on Saturday's weigh-in.

Nice post. To be honest I do not do anything special the day before. I am a daily weigh in person. I weigh myself every morning, I know that some people are not a fan of this but it really helps me stay on track.

How do you find PX90? I am very curious about it? Would you reccomend it?

Have a great day!

I confess I always peek and weigh early. I think I hear the scales call my name as I walk by.. Ha Ha.

I love the way you list your food and activities. Congrats on the new Laptop.

When I was steadily losing weight weekly I would just weigh in on my weigh in day but, now I have been at the same weight for the last 2 weeks, I am stalking that scale. I am going to try what you do the day before weigh in!!! Keep up the great work!!
