I am heading into my 4th weigh in today, and want to take a minute to celebrate the non-scale victories. I have a feeling my numbers wont be as high as my last 2 weigh ins, but i still want to reflect and reward myself for the last 2 weeks of really hard work!
- my fitness has increased immensely, I was able to run 60 minutes last night, something I've not been able to do for years. I am able to complete 4 consecutive "shredmill" workouts, and have increased my speeds to 4.0 walking, 5.4 jogging, and 6.1 sprinting. I will increase these speeds by .1 the next two weeks.
- my clothes are starting to fit looser, i am able to wear shirts pants and undergarments that have been too small since around November.
- the way i think about food is better, i look at it as fuel, not enjoyment. i used to eat out of emotion or boredom, now i eat for fueling and energy.
no matter what the scale says today, i am proud of my 8 week journey so far. cheers to the next 2 weeks of achievements! what are you proud of from your past two weeks?!

Don't become a slave to the scale. I found a shirt that was so snug that it was unwearable. Every time I put it on, it was a little looser. One day that shirt was so baggy that I could no longer use it. Keep your eye on increased performance and health and body shape will follow. Making your goal in life to move the scale needle will only make you look like "Starvin' Marvin"
Congrats with the 'shredmill' wish I could do that.
