The scale is a mirror into (part of) what I do each week. It does not define me, it merely gives me feedback on how well my efforts are helping me reach my goals. The scale is not the enemy any more than a blood test is an enemy. The enemy is hidden in the choices I make -- walk or binge watch Top Chef? Chips & onion dip or veggies & low cal dressing? A bag of chips or "a 10 chip portion"? Soda or beer or unsweetened tea? Yoga or that extra 30 minutes of sleep? Finish up those jelly beans or just don't? There is nothing inherently wrong with either side of any of these choices. But they are choices. And they impact the results I see on the scale. The scale tells the truth and is therefore my friend, even when that truth is not welcome.

Well, we took a mini vacation over the weekend and I had some meals that really didn't fit into my calories. Even though I ran every day, I managed to pack a couple of pounds on. But, the last couple of days have gotten me back on track and managed a small loss. So, we'll take that.

I haven't been drinking much water the past couple weeks and I think it shows. I had two days at 167.2 and one at 166.7 before jumping up above 168 again. Gotta keep up a deficit and the scale will move eventually. NSV, my work pants are getting too big. I might be able to fit the next size down, if not now, then soon.8 -

April 1st: 202.2 (it was 200.7 yesterday)
April 2nd: 200.8 (changing my weigh in days to Fridays)
April 9th: 200.4 (not quite as low as I'd hoped. I was 199.8 on Saturday so was hoping for 199 by today. Unfortunately, got off track with Easter and sweets this past week. I have been working out almost every day though, which is still fairly new for me)
April 16th: 200.4 (I'm a bit discouraged by this. On Sunday, I had a good talk with myself as my birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I decided if I got serious, I could lose at least 5-10lbs before then. I currently have MFP set to lose 1.5lbs a week and this week, I ate under my calories every day and worked out all but one day. I was hoping I would at least be out of the 200s! Next week!!)

Headed back in the right direction. Recently bought a fitbit and Tuesday I reached 10,000 steps for the first time. I was so excited! Now I have to try to reach it again. Lol. Still going with my monthly squat challenge. Iโm only doing half the amount but itโs a lot for me. Yay!!11
