BBR -- Thursday, 03/28 -- Day 28

I weigh daily first thing in the morning and then once a week in the evening. The evening weigh in is my official WW weight because my meetings were always in the evening. I react to my scale number, get excited if I lose, get a little upset if I gain or didn't have a loss that I was wanting. If I'm in range, I feel okay. I track the once-a-week evening weigh in the WW app and the daily morning weigh in on a calendar by my computer.

Until recently I was weighing daily and recording it weekly. Just last week I decided to try going back to weighing weekly and recording weekly, as I did for so many years when I was losing weight on WW. I sometimes need to change things up, and also I'm going to practice focusing my mental energy on just staying on my plan. I know that the scale number will follow if I do, even if it takes more than a week to show up.

I record my weight weekly in a handwritten notebook that I keep of my exercise and my weekly weight. I've had a series of notebooks like this for many many years - I started this before I used any electronic tracking websites or apps. I also record my weight electronically on a few different apps that I've used at various times for food tracking, and I track on the Happy Scale app to get a broader view of my weight loss and maintenance progress. And I record it here weekly in my signature as a reminder to myself of where I'm at.

I'm going to try and weigh in each week and see how it goes with my mood and fixation on the numbers.
