Week 7 Weigh-In: Down Another 1.2 lbs

Meh. Not a big loss this week. Just a puny 1.2 lbs. Unlike last week when I lost 2.6 lbs, I do deserve the puny loss. I partied both Friday and Saturday nights. I was crap each of the following days. I also ate out (on a date!) on Wednesday night and went over my points.

I lost focus. But I got up the next day and got back on it.

Oddly, to see how far off I was, I weighed in on Sunday and on Wednesday. On Sunday, I was really bloated and weighed in about 5 lbs heavier than this morning. Wednesday morning and was 2 lbs or so lighter than today. So there have been some pretty major fluctuations in my weight this week.


I'm down 13.4 lbs and as of this morning, I'm halfway through my program!

Being so close to the 190 mark on Wednesday, I got excited thinking about my next non-food reward. I've decided that it will be a small tattoo on my upper right chest. It's going to be of a segno.

Definition: The musical term segno – Italian for “sign” – refers to a symbol involved in a complex system of musical repeats. 

Here's what it looks like:

Not all of my tattoos will be musical in nature. I saw this recently on a piece we are doing for Illuminati and liked the fluidity of it. It's kind of fun to me in that it's a "symbol" of sign. Also, this denotes "complex repeat." Let's face it, life is a complex systems of repeats, i.e. the daily routine.

What went well

- Despite being in a bad mood for a couple of days, I stuck with it!
- 4 days of aerobic activity (choreography practice DOES count as I burned 400 calories in 1.5 hours!)

What needs improvement

- Get a full 8 hours of sleep each night
- No more 2 night party weekends

- Meet the 3,000 Nike+ Fuel point goal every day
- 6 days of "A-" or better (one cheat day is cool)
