Wednesday Weigh In: Screw You, Scale

First, thank you for all the birthday wishes! I’m sorry I didn’t reply to everyone, it’s been a crazy week!

I wasn’t going to weigh in this morning. 

Then I was.

Then I wasn’t.

Then I was.

Then I wasn’t.

Then I checked my email and my new, awesome, Fitbit emailed me a report saying this week I …

According to the numbers I should have lost a pound. So I hopped on the scale curious if my weigh in would actually support the numbers.

It didn’t.

Now mind you I haven’t even had the device a full week so I wasn’t really expecting a loss but I also wasn’t expected an almost 4-pound gain!

Now, do I really think I gained 4 lbs?

No I don’t.

There are so many darn variables that go into lowering the number on the scale (notice I didn’t say weight.) It’s not as easy as calories in vs. calories out. Don’t get me wrong, I do think you need to eat less to lose weight. Well, I should say I NEEDED to eat less to lose weight. That is how I did it after all.

But now that I’m in a healthy weight range, training with weights, and maintaining, my scale readings don’t always reward me with a lower number for my efforts and that’s just fine. I know I’ve been rocking it.

I feel GREAT!

Isn’t that what really matters? Why do we let some random scale reading tell us otherwise? It’s so counterproductive!

Anyway, that’s my story this week. I’m not changing a thing, just gonna keep doing what I’m doing.

How are you guys doing? Remember, weigh in with or without numbers below. Can’t wait to read your updates!
