A little reminder...

A little reminder of why I weigh-in on Tuesdays.

Weigh-in

156.6 lbs.

(+.6 from last week)

Weigh-in

156 lbs.

Nice. About a year ago, I was pushing 170 lbs, so I'm happy.

Why does this number matter so much? Well, it really doesn't shouldn't. The number on the scale shouldn't effect how you feel about yourself. I understand the thrill of lower numbers, but I also understand the dread, and self-loathing of higher numbers. It's a tricky line to walk... I feel like if I'm not exercising, and if I'm not eating right, then I stress out about the numbers more. I know I'm not doing anything to remain healthy, so numbers are all I have. But when I'm eating right and going to the gym, the numbers don't matter much to me anymore because I feel better. That's where I'm at now. (Ignore the fact that I'm not at the gym this morning...)

I love my body. I love my curves. I love my skin. And I love my butt! I just want to feel better and get healthier for these reasons:

1. Loosing 10 more pounds will be better for pregnancy and baby.
2. No, I'm not pregnant (yet).
3. I can't afford a new wardrobe. 
4. Having energy is GREAT. 
5. When I get that thigh tattoo, I want to be confident enough to show it off all the time.

Meme... Tuesday?

I was so busy yesterday, I didn't have the chance to blog, but I really liked the question that was for meme Monday, so I'm going to do it today.

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Never trying. For example, would I have known that I hate library school without trying? Nope. And in a way, I failed library school. And I'm okay with that. Failing isn't such a terrible thing. I remember in 4th grade, I had this really strict teacher. She gave me my first D, and at the same time, gave my friend her first F. We cried, and I still remember my friends face, lathered in tears, the sound of her voice, cracking, "I got an F..." I didn't know it back then, but grades don't mean anything, really. Whether you fail, whether you succeed, you learned something. If you never try, you never learn...

Another example, I'm failing at losing weight! Four months into being very conscious of what I eat, I've lost nothing. Todays weight: 153 lbs.

I know I eat out more often than I should, but lately I haven't been over my calories at all! Look here, go back a few days, someone tell me what I'm doing wrong!! 

Check it out! My 100th post is my birthday post! It's also a weigh-in day. But guess what? 

152 lbs! 

I didn't go to the gym yesterday because I was ridiculously sore from Sunday (for some reason), and I'm not going to go today because it's my birthday. And because I said so. But mostly because it's my birthday. 

Yesterday, I also needed comfort food, so I splurged at dinner. BBQ chicken pizza for one please. 

ALSO ALSO ALSO it's National New Kids on the Block day! CELEBRATIONS.

Weigh in

Todays weight: 154 lbs

I feel like, no matter what I do, my body doesn't feel like it needs to lose any weight. I know the numbers ultimately shouldn't matter, and that I should just feel good about myself regardless, but it's nice to see them going down, not up. I'd rather plateau. 

It's frustrating, I'm frustrated, let's go eat cake.

Weigh In

Today's weight: 151 lbs

Weigh-in: Celebration

Today's weight: 148 lbs

Celebrate good times COME ON!

Weigh in: +1

Today's weight: 150 lbs.

You know, for the past week and a half, I had opportunities to eat terribly daily. Only gaining back 1 pound is a success.

Oops

Todays weight: 149 lbs

That's a 1 lb bump from last week. But, honestly, I expected this. I won't be on track again until after the wedding on Sunday. Because, I mean really, who is going to pass up a whole TABLE of sweet treats?! (Yes, a Jewish celebrations, there isn't just one cake, there is a whole TABLE. I'm marrying into the right family!)

Weigh in

Very exciting time, because I just hurdled my plateau of 150!! I've been watching what I eat and exercising since the first of the year, so it's really nice to actually see some (even if they're minor) results.

Weight: 148 lbs

Weigh in

This is the reason why I weigh in on Tuesdays.



Today's weight: 150 lbs
