I love it when life throws a curve ball at me. I feel challenged. Right now, I'm in the middle of a curve ball. With just a few days under my belt, I had to travel for a week.
Using this website, I am tracking my food and exercise as exactly as possible. I also packed gym clothes, so I can do cardio at least 3 times this week. I do not have a scale though. I thought there might be one in the gym, but alas, there was not. Would it be obsessive to call down and ask if I could have one delivered to my room?
I live by my scale when dieting. I'm not saying it healthy, but it's honest. I weight myself every morning and night (and sometimes at lunch time). I know. Crazy. It is what it is. I guess I think that by watching the scale, I can determine the impact the food had. For instance, if I am uncertain about a meal I ate yesterday, if I look at the scale and my weight continues to go down, I can relax about that meal. If it goes up, I understand that might not have been my best option.
So here I am in a hotel room with no scale and all I have is me. This must be how the "other half" lives - you know, the half that doesn't need to pay attention to what they eat or weigh.
It is what it is. Maybe if I lose weight this week without looking at the scale, I will be able to convince myself not to look at it in the future - Lemons into Lemon-aid.
Wish me luck!
