Not moving. Still. Hasn't budged. The same. Motionless. Immobile.
That would be the scale. I'm stuck at 244. So...here's the thing...remember that last post where I was all "Everytime I worked out in the past I stopped losing weight"? Um. Oh hey there scale. How come you aren't moving?
Ok, so in reality, this has happened a couple times. I've lost a big chunk and then I've seen the scale hold for a little while. Which is normal. I know my body is taking time to catch up to what's going on.
But I can't help but go into full on panic mode. Like there's a fire and my dog is stuck under the bed. Or I went on a shopping spree and spent all my money and now I can't pay my rent. Or, wait...do I want two pink lines or one???? TWO OR ONE DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it would calm my fears to go to the gym tonight but then I forgot my shoes at home. I suppose I can't go work on the elliptical in my leopard print heels, hey?
My advice: STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE DAMN NUMBER ON THE SCALE SO MUCH!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, once a week is more than sufficient.
Concentrate on how you feel and how your clothes fit. And get back to that gym, lady! *cracks whip*
You may experience a stall in number-weight loss, but that is merely because you are building muscle. Muscle weighs a LOT more than fat.
Love,
Your encouraging friend. ;p
I'd be lying if I said I didn't step on the scale three times yesterday. And then today? Totally up a pound and a half from yesterday morning. I've been stuck for two weeks. I've also not been exercising the way I should be either though. I *hate* exercise with every ounce of my being. Today? I'm going for a run during lunch. My Plan? Start getting up at 6 and doing it then. I can do this. It's just going to take some more time and it isn't going to happen by the cruise *whines*
ReplyDeleteGah! that's an old pic of me. 5 years ago. When I first started working here.
ReplyDeleteI know!!!! I would have gone had I not forgotten my shoes!!! I swear!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't help it. I'm with you Miss Amanda Don't Look At That Picture Of Me, I'm obsessive with the scale. It's totally unhealthy.
