Want2BFit's Journal, 14 January 2010

I had the most brilliant moment today. I woke up starving, had some water, trying to force myself to wait until lunch since I'm meeting a friend @ 2. I decide to torture myself by getting on the scale, and it's 5lbs over! Almost went into melt down mode my brain just said f it eat what you want then start hard core tomorrow. I actually have been very impressed w. how well my body was respnding to getting back to clean eating. I ate some things I shouldn't have this weekend, but thats only bc I was supposed to start the HCG diet Monday, and then I changed my mind, so I was just sticking to my workouts and eating a lot better. Anyways, I'm in the kitchen and my mind is racing about all the bad food I can eat - my first thought was to order Chinese food, have some cereal, definitely some regular coke. Once I left the kitchen though, I realized I don't really want those things; and the # on the scale while disappointing doesn't really phase me much, not that i can say its all water/muscle, but yesterday for the first time in my life i had a like my body moment. I'm definitely feeling my workouts, making progress with the moves, and looking forward to my success. I have never looked forward to summer time or bikini season b/c I know its attainable. i'm on a program and have a support system for not only my diet, but my fitness routine and have met people who have gotten phenomenal results so its not a hype dream, but more my reality if I keep doing what I'm doing. Its amazing how much our mind can play tricks on us...

I know! You just keep up what you are doing. Your exercising and your enthusiasm are catchy. The number on the scale does phase us even if we don't want it too. I understand that. I think we are always worried we are on an upward spiral and having to start all over again but we just need to keep focusing on what we are doing and keep getting back on it everytime we slip so the little disappointments don't get bigger. You know that your weight will fluctuate so don't get down. Let this get you up and look how great you did not having any bad food that was in your kitchen!

Good for you! Too many people let the scale guide their emotions all the time. You are doing great!

focus on the positive and keep working hard!!! Way to resist the temptation and avoid the unhealthy foods! What program are you doing?

Your pic looks GREAT! I can see your abs and legs in a bikini already. "You-know-who" is at large and lying to our minds all the time to torment us, but you managed to stick to the truth and circumvented a trap. Yaaay!! My Slim-in-6 still hasn't arrived, but I look forward to it.

The scale is only helpful to me over time; it can be disheartening from day to day. If you had salty food yesterday, you are likely to hold more water today. Water is heavy (roughly 8.35 pounds per gallon) - and we're 70% (or more) water to begin with. It doesn't take much to extra water to add a few pounds (or lose a few pounds) from one day to the next. I do a weigh-in only once a week, just to keep myself from going nuts daily. lol
