A few days ago I got on the scale for the first time in three months. I’ll be honest here- I had walked past that scale time and time again thinking that I would get on it ‘one of these days’ when I felt less stress- less bloated- less jet lagged… blah blah- you get the idea.
Well finally- I decided to just do it. I KNOW that I haven’t been working out the way I should, nor has my eating been where it should be- but I finally told myself that stepping on the scales wasn’t going to change any of that- it was just going to put it in my face.
It was mid afternoon- I’d drank several cups of coffee and glasses of water- plus I’d had lunch about a half hour before. I told myself that if I saw numbers I wasn’t happy with that I could loosely know that they would go down if I weighed like always- one morning.
So I did it- and I was surprised to see that I’d lost a kilo! 2.2 pounds GONE! How that happened- I have no idea, but I’ll take it- and if you add in all of the aforementioned factors- maybe its even more.
I did a little happy dance- BUT, I also knew that even though the scale said one thing- the way I really feel says something entirely different. I didn’t ‘feel’ lighter- and in fact felt downright blah… so that’s a sure sign that it’s time for me to fully plug back into my health and wellness. I’ve been working on the wellness for quite some time- but now it’s time to stop snacking completely after dinner- time to make more use of my brand new kettlebell, and time to dust off the ellitical AND get those new running shoes out and put them to use.
After all- I love who I am and I’m worth it.
