On My Love/Hate Relationship With The Scale

I have mentioned in some previous posts that I try not to step on the scale everyday, but do find that is a one way to measure your success when it comes to weight loss. My measurements change more drastically then my weight. I try to not to let that get me down, but I am finding that the number on the scale does have the dreaded effect. It can make or break me!

See what had happened was....I had a great weigh in on Friday so decided, for shits and giggles no less, to step on the scale on Saturday. And I was up...weight wait for it.... 8 lbs. WTF. Anyway, I moved on with life and we had a fantastic weekend but we eat out everyday. Mexican Food. Lots of chips and dips and my meals were relatively healthy, but still....Can't wait for Friday...

Moral of the story is....I should not step on a scale 2 days in a row...I know only bad will come of it. I should not let the scale get me down. In the words of our First Lady..

Right on! So with that, I will go to the gym tonight before book club and run like Ryan is waiting for me at the finish line...

Love,
