My Love - Hate Relationship with the Scale

This morning I popped out of bed and couldn't wait to stand on the scale. I knew my choices weren't great on Sunday, but overall I had a pretty good weekend and was looking forward to seeing the scale settle back down. Hmmmmmm....didn't happen. Not only did the numbers on the scale not trend down...but instead, I actually saw an INCREASE. This really ticks me off. I am doing exactly what I need to do in order to see downward trending results. It is very odd to me that I am not a little angry. Instead, I am just moving right along as if the increases don't bother me at all. I guess that is because I am doing everything I can possibly do to achieve the results. I haven't missed a single workout and my calorie intake has only exceeded the recommended range once and even then, it was only by 65 calories. I have to believe this is an evil trick being played on me by the scale...something to discourage me and make me give in to a nice fast food hamburger or even better - the ooey gooey goodness of pizza. I think I will be strong...and I know that eventually, the scale will reflect this strength.

Weather is icky today, but not quite icky enough. Still must go in to work :-( but hopefully, I will get much accomplished today. I still have quite a few things to get done around the house in preparation for my sis and her family. I can't wait to see everyone. I hope the kiddos have a really good time. They don't get to spend holidays with family very often since they live in a little village in Mexico. I always want to make sure the kids have fun while they're here. I like being the fun, cool aunt.

Hey girl,
Don't be discouraged..that scale might be going up b/c you are building all that lean muscle (which weighs more)...check to see if your clothes are a little loose..I bet they are.
You are doing a great job!! Keep it up!
