varying scales...

So,

when i sat down to update this week, I realized I put the wrong weight last time.  i have since edited that last post.

it's been a good week, 4 visits to the gym.  I am hoping to up that number to 5, going to try and squeeze in some cardio this week after grad class on tuesday.  Makes for a long day, but I am going to try it out and see what happens.  

I really love walking on the treadmill and it has been cool watching my progress.  I used to be able to walk at 3.0 as max.  Now I am doing 25 minutes before every session on the weights.  Today it was 5 minutes at 2.7, 5 at 3.0, then 10 at 3.5, followed by 5 at cooldown.  When I started the 3.5 my goal was to make it 5 minutes, but I pushed it to 10.  so fun :)

Scales are giving me headaches though.  My scale at school is a digital one from weight watchers.  I wear the same pair of shorts and the same shirt every friday, and I weigh in at the same time every morning.  I do the same thing with the scale at the Y every weekend (traditional medical scale w/ the sliders) and the weights are always 4-5 lbs different, with me weighing less at the Y every time. At the Y  I have my shoes on and carry my old Ipod, which should make me weigh more. Weird.  I am going to take a 5lb weight into school and see if my scale is off at all.

Thanks to those of you who have left comments, it's cool to know people are actually reading!

promised update

So, it's friday and I have the day off, excellent :)

The last few weeks have been jammed pack with a long visit by my parents (lots of eating out :( but lots of walking :) )  and tons of things at work.  My numbers aren't where I would like them to be right now, but they do keep going down, which is good.  

I have started reading a cool blog, "the anti jared", and he talks about NSV's (non-scale victories).  I love this concept :)  I have been hitting the gym on a regular basis and lifting weights is part of my routine.  Even though my scale number is going down slow, my NSV for this week is that I definitely need some new pants :)
