So the scale said a different number today... after gaining one pound last week, I was ready to see a different number on that scale. The number that I am very pleased to see? 211 lbs.
What that number means to me:
1. I only have 80 lbs. to go until I reach my ultimate goal.
2. I am only 12 lbs. away from being under 200 lbs. for the first time in more than 10 years or so.
3. The biggest thing of all... I can do this.
I am focusing on the fitness more but, I can't seem to help riding that emotional roller coaster over the numbers. I love seeing that number on the scale drop. I am devastated when it goes higher and a tad frustrated when it stays the same. Kind of a love hate relationship.
Today... I love the scale. :)
What part of a healthy lifestyle do you have a "love hate" relationship with?
Holly, I find it hardest to exercise consistently. The hot weather last week sucked all the energy out of me.
ReplyDeleteI agree! The hot weather sucks to work out in or even go for a walk. I ended up doing a dvd one of the nights I usually go to the track.
DeleteWhat has really helped me is setting a schedule for myself.
Mon and Wed: Gym
Tues and Thur: track
I mix it up with a dvd once in awhile.
All you can do is stay positive and keep your head up! :)
That is amazing! Congrats! I find it hard when the scale goes up as well, it sometimes puts me in a bad mood all day ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I couldn't agree more, I get a little pouty. :P
