Strip Me Down It's Saturday

I decided that I'm not going to weigh myself until the 60 days are over. Anyway I don't own a scale. The scale and I that "Digital Demon/Mechanical Mistress" have a love hate relationship. This entails me accusing her of being a liar, violence ensues and somehow my scale ends up encircled in a yellow chalk line. Pre-meditated murder of a scale..yes? So no Strip Down for me anytime soon. Routine that's the key word. Allowing myself to become familiar with a particular eating and exercising regimen (that I love) so that I maintain this beyond 60 days. A new lifestyle of knowing me & my body and living it to the fullest. Plus I still have my eyes on the prize, Bikini! I personally challenged myself a bit more this week to run a little harder and faster. On those days my body responded back by asking me if I had lost my mind? I answered by saying, Yes & it felt good! Good-not great yet. I'll inform you when I reach the status of Great. Feeling that burn and becoming one with it is a part of the process & hopefully my success. I did try and eat more fruits and vegetables which equaled a lot of smoothies. I want to do the Raw requisite but I'm not sure? If there are any ladies out there who have tried it let me know how it worked for you or is working for you. As far as the meditation process my "Mental Is Still Under Construction", I will start again tomorrow. More fruits, vegetables, and fabulous cardio for week two and more water but not after 10 p.m. I have a 4 decade old plus some change bladder. Daytime fitness runs I love, night time bathroom runs-not so much.
Week two, bring it on!
Week two, bring it on!

I think not weighing yourself for the 60 days is an awesome idea - I bet you'll be thrilled with the result at the end! Also, there are so many other ways of measuring progress - like how long, hard and fast you can run. Awesome!0

Chococatte, sounds like you're getting some great fitness results, and establishing some nice ground rules for a successful routine in the future! I haven't weighed myself for about 3 weeks now, over which time I know I've achieved lots of good things, both "scale" and "non-scale."
I've been wondering recently whether I should weigh in to see where I'm at, but I'm intuitively opposed to the idea... First off, facing the numbers can be stressful for me. Second, I'd like to teach myself to have more respect for my body and mind, no matter where they are in terms of fitness and wellness. "My body is my temple" as they say, and sometimes I feel that I'm dishonoring that by being so harsh with myself psychologically, and by obsessing over every little thing I should and shouldn't eat.
I need to have a little more faith in myself, so I'm going to hold off on the weigh-in a little longer at least
As a result of regular exercise (and maybe an improved diet), my lower back pain and some other aches and discomforts have become less frequent, and so I KNOW I'm doing good
I just feel better overall, and that's something to appreciate
