I think the events of the past couple
of weeks have finally caught up with me
AND
I got on the scale.
I wasn't going to, but I did.
It said I gained 2 pounds.
It put me in a very bad mood.
I work REALLY HARD at the gym.
I watch what I eat.
Yes, these last two weeks have been different.
Lots of "fruit" baskets, cakes, cookie trays, dinners.
-and I am grateful.
-and yes, I have been partaking,
but nothing like I used to.
I've changed my lifestyle
However.....
all of my clothes are loose
I feel great
I have a ton of energy
-all good things.
So, I have decided that maybe
I will get on the scale once a month.
That's it.
A 2 pound difference shouldn't put me in a funk!
I found this list on the web.
Love it.
My Check list to pay attention to rather than obsessing to what a number on the scale says.
CHECK LIST:
Do I like the changes I see in the mirror?
Do I like how my clothes are fitting? Are my rings looser?
Am I hydrated?
Am I paying attention to my nutrition: calories, carb/protein/fat intake?
Do I feel stronger? Have I increased the amount of weight I can lift or the number or reps I can do?
Can I exercise for longer periods of time?
Am I losing inches?
Can I see more muscle definition?

Great attitude! Don't let the scale get you in a funk. If you're eating right and exercising well, it will follow your lead!
my scale and I are not on speaking terms at the moment. I have gain back some of my weight and I have jumped back in the ring to get rid of it again. I knew when my undies started feeling tight, it was time to take it seriously! Love that checklist!
