I'm in week 12, the second to last week of the challenge. I only have 10% to go to my exercise goal. Woohaa!!! I feel so accomplished and good about it.
I had a .2 gain last week. I ate every exercise and flex point - rather interesting actually. For the past 3 days, instead of focusing on the excitement and joy of getting to week 12 of the challenge and completing 90% of my goal, I fell into the soup of gain despair and annoyance. OVER POINT TWO POUNDS!!!!
Why do we do that? I said the words, "I'm not bringing in my tracker because body weight fluctuates for all sorts of reasons." Meanwhile my psyche went through the trained I don't give a F#@K response. What's that all about?
I know I'm doing well. My food is cleaner. I'm moving my body and loving it. I feel leaner and healthier. What is the deal with my mood swings that go with the number on the scale? Why go through the process?

I, too, wonder why our weight determines how we feel that day. It shouldn't, but it certainly does. I know when I've eaten well and done what I'm supposed to do, I should feel very good about myself, and yet, if the scale doesn't move downward, I'm disappointed in myself. Years of disappointing behavior, I guess. At any rate, keep up the good work. You are making wonderful progress, and the work WILL pay off for you.
ReplyDeleteI put away my scale and took it out this morning after like 3 days break. I feel like my mental health in regards to the scale is much healthier and saner.
ReplyDeleteI totally get you -- we let the scale influence us a little too much. Cheer up! Ditch the scale! Do what you're doing and feel proud of yourself for all the efforts and persistence :>
ReplyDeleteYou are all so right:-)
ReplyDeleteFocus on the positive and there's so much positive to focus on. I'm loving my exercise and looking forward to pumping it up. I totally enjoy my food. I love nourishing my body and I love the feeling of energy zinging through me.
The pounds are melting off. Like butter baby:-)
