Yup.....up 1.2.....couldn't ya just scream???
I have been working my ass off...(pardon my italian)...for weeks now and I am just not seeing results in the scale....how very frustrating that can be. I post my food and exercise journals in the forum almost daily. I've been right OP...trying new things....exercising hard every day...being the perfect 'weight watcher' ....and nada! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......it's really enough to make ya nuts when you deserve it and don't get it!
BUT.......I did my whining (lucky hubby...lol) and got it out of my system. Mark shared his usual dose of encouraging words which always help to remind me of the big picture. We then went to dinner and as I sat there looking over the menu the 'new me' had a little chat with the 'old me'.....
I thought about how just that day I was telling Mark how my wedding ring was getting too big again and showing him how it spun around on my finger. How outfits I just bought two weeks ago were already feeling different. That a bracelet given to me not too long ago is now so loose that the links make noise when I move. That I have been working out extra hard every day and am doing the best that I can do....which is all I can do.
Needless to say, I started with water and salad and chose Fettucine with grilled chicken and broccoli for dinner! :-)
And how about this for irony.......I got on my scale (which is usually about the same as WW) the next morning.....and it was WAY down from weigh-in!! Now don't that just bite ur butt?!?! I think it's going out the window!
Anyway, I do know better than to let this sabotage my efforts.....the scale and I have had these battles before and I have always won in the end. I will keep doing what i've been doing and I WILL get the loss I deserve......eventually. Besides...what's my other option???
This really has been a great week for me. I am proud of myself and NOTHING will take that from me!
On a brighter note...as I said, i've been working out every day this week. My body is a bit sore but it feels really good. I decided to set a goal for 7 straight days of at least 1/2 hour workout each day.....most days I have done well over an hour. As a reward I got a pedometer so I can measure my steps. (I also did a bit of shopping which is always a good thing!) Did you know you are suppose to have at least 10,000 steps in your day just to maintain good health??? I'm thinking there is no way I get in that many......I am curious tho. It's already made me much more aware of my activity. I will tell you this...it's 3pm...i've been out all day and am not even at 2,000 yet....yikes!
Until next time.......
Find the ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.
