How it all came undone...

Over the past year I have done some really awesome things. It all was undone in my brain yesterday morning when I stepped on the scale for the first time since Thanksgiving. The number that sreamed at me from the scale seemed to take all the accomplishments away, and I started sinking into the pit of despair. I wallowed in said pit for about 3 hours by myself. Then a good friend came by and asked what was going on which started the rant.

"Why is it that I have ran a 10K, finished a Warrior Dash, worked out constitantly for over a year with my bootcamp group and that DA%$ scale can undo do all that work"

Her response "The scale did nothing" Wait .... What..... I thought you were my friend ...

Then I realized she is right. That little piece of medal can do nothing to change what I have done this past year. It can not take those medals from me. Nothing can take my pride. Thank you my friend for reminding me that I am the captain of this journey.

My focus has been readjusted and I am onto better things this year. I will not let that 1 number ruin all that I have worked for this year.

Glad you have some handy friends around to help you out of your pit. Just keep focusing on how you feel and forget about the stupid scale!
