Weigh-In Wednesday

Vol. VI: In Which I Ponder the Existence of Overweight Crickets

So what do you think: Would changing the name of this series to Weight-Off Wednesday inspire people to link up? ‘Cause I’m not really feeling the link-up love right now.

No offense to your own sweet self, of course. You’re great.

It’s just…it’s just…I’m weighing the merits [pun intended] of attempting a link-up because there is not exactly a dearth of them out there.

Plus “dearth” sounds like “derp” which is how I feel when I hear crickets.

Anyway, here we go.

I made the numbers blurry so you couldn’t read them.

As you can see, my weight hasn’t budged. Not a whit, I tell you!

(“Whit” is another word that I really like. It reminds me of “witty”, of which I am not.) 

I painted my toe nails! It’s only been six months! 

 As you can also see, it is totally worth bumping the scale up a pound if it means showing off your cute new flip-flops.

Here’s what I’ve done that’s helpful this week:

  • I watched what I ate…and it was a ton! (Okay, so maybe that wasn’t so very helpful.) 
  • I biked to Target with my girls. (Of course we bought candy once we got there…)
  • I went to a chiropractor for the first time in months, and that was both fascinating and encouraging. I’m allergic to strawberries! Who knew? More on my chiropractic adventure later.
  • I got back in the saddle–aka on the treadmill–for the first time in (I’m going to whisper this) three weeks. 

My husband knew how long it’d been. He made me a document to chart my progress and honestly, that’s been very helpful. A goal has been set! It’s a start anyway.

So there you go and here I go. I am happy to be trying because to NOT try is bad.

Link up if you want to with your progress. I did. See? It was fun! You should try it!!

    Love your pedi and flip flops! You are ready for summer!

    Did you see Endris? I look forward to hearing about your experience!

    And keep it going on your treadmill! You have such good support in a husband who makes you progress charts! You can do it!!

      Sarah, he was wonderful! Like…a healer who could poke & prod & tell me health conditions without my mentioning them! (like my thyroid) AND he's a father of nine AND a man of great faith.

      So so cool, all of it.

      Yes, I saw him for a period of time, and he really helped me. He does have a gift of holistic health that is SO needed these days!

    Margaret, you're so brave to do these posts! These are things that I think most of us moms struggle with to some degree, and someone is being blessed by your message. Even if what you're hearing is crickets sometimes. šŸ˜‰ God bless you!

      Melanie, I am going to print this comment and put it by my computer. I really struggled with the idea of this series yesterday.

    How awesome that your husband made you that chart. What a great guy! Do you like the treadmill that you have? I am seriously debating on picking one up. Take care!

      We like our treadmill very much, Betsy. We bought it used (which I recommend) and though I don't know the brand, I'm on my way down right now to go running so I'll look! Be back in two miles! ; )

    I love these posts, as health is a topic I take great interest in. However, I don't blog, so I don't link up, but I enjoy reading about your thoughts.

    I'm embarrassed to say that I don't even know how to link-up. That's right. No link-up love here due to my inability to figure it out. šŸ™‚

    I'd like to link up if you do it again. I am trying hard to lose the extra weight I have been battling for the past 6 years. Thanks.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♄
