Yesterday, if I had time to blog, I would have talked about how I was having a skinny day! Oh what!! I’m not sure how at my weight you have skinny days, but I was having one, and I was feeling great!
This morning I decided I’d take a peek at the scale before tomorrow’s official weigh in. I mean, I just had a skinny day, the scale would surely whisper sweet nothings into my ear. Well let me just tell you my scale is a whore. I have lost 0.2 pounds. Shoot me. I’m killing myself with Insanity’s month 2 torture videos; I’m on the 20 day challenge, doing a pretty good job, I thought.
I stepped off the scale and looked in the mirror. It was like a scene from the Nutty Professor. I swear I saw my neck blew up, then my arms, and finally, my face swell up like an allergic reaction. Poof. I am fat. No more skinny day.
The scale is my enemy, I hate it. Needless to say I am not having a good day. Like every bad weigh in, I had a venting session with my very understanding, very patient hubby. God has a very special place for that man.
Days like today make me feel like I’ll never reach my goal. I try and I try and I’m not getting any closer. This is usually when I give up. Convinced that my body just wont let me loose weight. Well Scale, you didn’t win this time. This time I have my blog full off people who support me, and my fb friends doing the 20-day challenge with me. I’ll keep on trucking and some day I AM going to blog about how I’m actually loosing weight.
Well I’m off to sulk a little more.
Love and kisses,
Carina
Carina! The scale IS the devil. I know you are really focused on a number but if you are concerned with numbers and want to start feeling better about your progress, I suggest you go and buy a seamstress measuring tape (if you don't already have one) and start taking measurements instead. I keep a journal of my measurements and when I am having a day where I feel really fat, I take out the tape and measure and realize I am the exact same. I bet you are slimming down with that insanity and are losing inches. You are probably gaining tons of muscle too. Especially if you were never really athletic before, all of that fat is turning into muscle! When I am my skinniest, skinniest, cut up size 4 self I weigh about 135. And I am ONLY 5'4" so that could be considered overweight. I think if you want to feel better about things you should focus more on your measurements because I bet you are dropping those inches like nobody's business! You are doing great and you looked WONDERFUL when I saw you. Keep it up amiga :)
ReplyDeleteI have to confess I have not weighted myself in over a year and did not do it when I stared this 20 day challenge. I do not trust the scale at all! I agree with Amelia that measuring tape is the best option. You are doing great and I'm sure you will meet your goals sooner rather than later. siguele hechando ganas. I just got the insanity workout videos and I am incorporating them to my workout from now on :).
ReplyDeleteI know you girls are right, it still messes with my mind, ya know ;) But i was feeling great this morning, so if i get past the scale, i should be happy. maybe the scale and i need to take a break! I have a measuring tape, i'll just keep using that. Thanks girls!
