Weigh In 17

by

hand-weights.jpgAnother week and another weigh in. Weighing in this week after hitting the weights last week was not something I was looking forward to at all, but one must do what one must do, yes?

SW: 256
LW: 248
CW: 250

Bah.

A gain is definitely not what I wanted to see this week, but I suppose it’s not completely surprising given how much I’ve been hauling into doing the weights work. Now I just need to put in that extra mile with drinking enough water and the weight should come back off.

When I first saw a gain on the scale, I was quite upset. Then I reminded myself that a.) it’s about that womanly time of the month, b.) I’ve been working on weights the past week and c.) I should go on how I feel, not what the scale says.

Bottom line? I’m feeling great and that’s what should matter, not what the scale says. That’s what it’s about in the end, isn’t it? Feeling better? Getting fit? Heck, if I feel great at 170, I’ll stay happy at 170 and not kill myself over getting to 156.

Maybe it’s the fat acceptance blogs I’ve been reading lately or maybe it’s purely my mood, but I am sick of feeling like a slave to the scale. To numbers. I just want to be healthy and happy, and that is what I will continue to pursue – no matter what the scale says.

Have an awesome week.
