I weighed 144.2 lbs. this morning. Blech.
I've allowed the scale back into my life...I think.
Here's what I've been up to, regarding food intake: Trying to wait until I'm hungry before eating, and stopping when I'm comfortably satisfied. I'm using a hunger/fullness scale, and writing it down throughout the day. Tummy growling is considered a perfect 10. Comfortably full is a 1 (worst), satisfied is at a 5, and empty is 10. Still working on the best way to add it up with a % system (that's me, playing with numbers, as usual). I have avoided calorie counting and measuring like the plague, however--feels way to over the top OCD for me right now. I was going for a more laid-back method.
I haven't been perfect...cheating has happened here and there. Thus, the lack of weight loss, no doubt.
So...today: I'm on duty at the gym, and only walking on the treadmill. My abs are seriously sore from 2 days ago. I did a fitness test of run/walk intervals yesterday for 3.8 miles yesterday, and am waiting to see how I feel over the weekend. My quads feel a bit stiff, maybe a touch sore--but that usually is just the beginning. So definitely...not a 'real' workout today. Rest day. Oh well.
Wow...hunger/fullness, and doing test workouts for soreness. A serious first for me: that of listening to my body. Will wonders never cease?!??!

I think your fullness scale is a good idea....don't know if i'll be able to give up the calorie counting though...that's the only way i keep myself in line.
