Another Scale Moment…

So…Friday mornings are D day for me…The dreaded weigh in…

rn

So this morning I get on with some anticipation…And…NO CHANGE…Still holding at current weight…

rn

This is the first time in almost two months that I have had no movement…So I am trying to keep that in perspective…

rn

And it stayed the same…NOT a gain…So those are positives, right????

rn

But still, I just cant help it…I was disappointed at first, no lie…Felt more than a bit let down…

rn

But then I decided I could be depressed and crabby all day about it…And make myself miserable and all those around me who love me…Or, I could take the advice of all my wonderful buddies on here that say the scale is not the only measurement of my success…

rn

I am doing everything right. My calories are in line, my exercise is completely in line, my mind set, for the first time ever, is completely in line…I am doing what I need to be doing…I know this. I DO!!!!

rn

I have not strayed or fallen off plan for over two months…Longest stretch ever…(And I really need to thank my best buddy Scott for some of that!!! THANK YOU!)

rn

So just like Jo said earlier this week on her blog, I am just going to keep on going, and eventually, that scale will move in my favor…

rn

And I am going to keep working hard, through the weekend, and over next week to get one or two more pounds off before my trip…

rn

Because, really, what else can I do? What else can we all ever really do???

rn

I can allow the scale to force me completely off the wagon, and I can drown my sorrows in Krispy Kremes and Cafe Lattes, or, I can reflect on that scale all day today, and use that as motivation to choose the salad over the burger for lunch and dinner…

rn

I think I am going to choose the salad…

rn

Thanks for listening guys…

rn

Wishing you all better scale moments…

    Good for you, Dawn!!? That’s the attitude to take.

    I feel you, it?is discouraging to not see any movement on the scale. Sometimes it just happens, but if you are doing everything you are supposed to be doing, it’s kind of like waking up and being angry your hair didn’t grow. Sometime our bodies do what they are going to do, and when they damn well feel like it. So keep up the good attitude, and I’m sure you’ll see a change soon.

    Hey Buddy,

    I had a few weeks where I hit a wall, no change. I was devistated, but guess what the next week I lost again. Weight loss is a marathon not a sprint… remember that. You are doing fantastic and look great.

    Yay!? Your body is adjusting to being this weight.? That’s a good thing.? Way to stay on plan for two months.? That’s just amazing!? You enjoy every single bite of that salad!? Just remember to mix it up a bit so you don’t get bored.?I’d try to new recipes or a new workout to take your mind off the sticky scale!?

    ?Dawnie!!? Couldn’t have said it better myself.. You are just at one of those stopping points we talked about.. Your body likes to stay at the weights you stayed at a while on the way up.. I’m sure the scale will fall right back in line for you.. You are doing so wonderful girl and your positive attitude is fantastic!!? I am so proud of you!!! Keep on smiling!

    ? That’s the attitude that will lead you to your success Dawn!!? What an example you are!!? And absolutely, the scale is not the only way to tell of our success and sometimes the body does crazy things but I KNOW that if you keep doing the right thing (counting calories and exercising) you WILL lose.? It’s just a matter of when!!?
