It is so easy to get discouraged on a number on a scale. I think I'm focusing way to heavily on that. I'm going to start putting my scale away and doing a monthly check in. I'm putting in the work, I can't get discouraged because so many things can be effecting the number on the scale. I'll just focus on what I'm putting in my body and exercise and I'll reach my goals.

When you have a bad weigh in day but still feel and look pretty good 👍🏼 #scalessuck #longarmsforselfies

Always take pictures and measurements before starting a challenge or program! That is where you see results!!! More definition, fat roll gone, lost inches, looser clothes..... Weight fluctuates , and you could be gaining muscle and not seeing the scale move much. You can eat super clean for days and get discouraged by what the scale says, and then eat one bad meal and see it drop!!! What the heck!!! Nope. The best way to see and track results is with pictures and measurements!! ( seeing a picture of myself started me in this journey) Then celebrate those non- scale victories and keep it up!!! #scalessuck #throwitout #smallvictories #dontquitnow

Positive Plateau

So my weight hasn't moved any in the last 3 weeks so guessing a plateau and I feel mentally that I'm handling that well. I'm focusing on the fact that in the last 96 days I've lost 31lbs. I enjoy going to the gym in the mornings for a little bit of me time, I'm enjoying being in the kitchen and coming up with new delicious recipes to enjoy and try. I'm feeling incredibly motivated to continue on with my goals, but also content to appreciate everything I've done in the last 3+ months and not get upset at myself that the scale isn't moving. So I hope everyone that is frustrated about the scale, take a moment to appreciate yourself and every choice and decision you've made to make yourself better. We are doing it :D

Scale Shock

Stepped on the scale today. Practically, ruin my day and how I felt about myself. 

Tonight, I ran. I got my run in and with each mile, I rebuilt myself. Made a new plan. Remembered the why.

Body WHAT is happening?!

So according to the SCALE I've gained 5 pounds this week.

haha FUCK YOU scale.  You will not define my mood.   I know I may have gained a pound or something but I know it wasn't that much.  I'm pretty sure it's because this week has just been insane.  Also because:

- I haven't kept track of my intake at all (BAD idea)

- I've been getting about 1/2 to 3/4 the amount of sleep that I have been for the last month/six weeks.

- I drank WAY too much this week, as in almost every night.  GOTTA cut that down.  My husband contributes to this a lot - he just likes beer and stuff and sort of gently pushes me to drink with him aaaaaaand I usually give in.  I have to get better at saying no to him with food/alcohol.  Because I KNOW he wants to see me succeed but his goals aren't mine, so I have to really take completely responsibility of what goes in my mouth.

Taking responsibility and control of my eating is what I really need to work on - because that is what will lose me the weight and help me get the results I need.   So this week I'm going to get back to keeping track of food, no alcohol (I definitely don't need it), and my goal will be 1700 cals/day, plus continuing to work out more and more and meet the non-weight/measurement goals.  I'm also doing measurements/month one pictures on Thursday so hopefully I'll see some change in those as well.

Now off to clean my disgusting apartment (another casualty of this week), then workout (I'm thinking of doing a mini triathlon so I can see if I even like it), and homework and practice and church and......blargh.
