So. Yesterday, I posted this picture after I got my new scale in the mail:
A .8 loss from yesterday? Sure, I'll absolutely take it. I need to get on this eating clean train. I've been working my way toward it. People keep telling me it's my muscles that weigh more and that's why I'm not seeing a change on the scale. You know, because I've been working out more and all that.
The truth of the matter is, I feel better. I feel like I look better. My clothes fit better.
So, with that said I'm no longer going to do weekly weigh-ins.
They depress me.
They make me feel less motivated.
I love the way I feel after my workouts and when I know I've created a healthy meal.
I've been doing good with putting the food I eat in my "Lose It" app. I eat between 1400 and 1600 calories.
With working out, I know I've worked off the majority of my calories.
I am OK with this.
My weigh-ins will now be monthly.
I won this great new scale and the day I receive it, is the day I finally realize I'm a prisoner to it and I don't want that.
I'm breaking free of my invisible chains, people!!
For my workout today, I'm doing a condensed 30 minute body pump class followed by a 30 minute core class. It's gonna be terribly awful and amazingly wonderful all at the same time.
enjoy your terribly awful but amazing workouts! i agree the scale can be depressing, if your seeing and feeling changes then dont worry about the number. but trust me, i know its hard to do
ReplyDeleteMeredith, it was a great workout and afterwards I felt like I was hit by a train! haha
DeleteAwesome job girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kaitlyn!
DeleteGood for you! Don't be a slave to the scale. I don't even own a scale and very rarely weigh myself. I feel that my victories should come from the way I feel and how my body is looking and feeling and not some number. I think you have made a great choice!
