Another "Stressful" Tuesday ...

So, it's weigh-in day and I'm freaking out AGAIN. Will this ever end?! Stupidly, I got on the scale at work yesterday afternoon. I don't know why I torture myself this way. I have been working out ALOT and I've also been eating well, so I should just let it be. But, no-I had to get on that scale. Now, I told myself that the scale could be different than the WW scale-but according to the work scale, I'm up .8 lb. UGH. Last week I was bloated so I was really hoping to see at least a small loss. I would be extremely happy with a pound. I know that I've lost many inches and I've gone down in sizes so why should the stupid number on the scale bother me so much?!

I e-mailed Becky this morning for inspiration. I knew she would help. This is what she said:

"Seriously......keep in mind all your inches lost!!!! That means you are replacing fat with muscle which in turn is making the scale not go down as fast (it will eventully) and you are replacing fat with muscle that will keep burning lots of fat off of you!!! You are working out really hard so you are definately gaining lots of muscle. You are doing it the right way....not just dieting! You look amazing and with all those inches lost you are right on track....perfect lifestyle change not just a "diet". Keep going you are doing perfect!!!!!"

Ahhh...much better. I don't know why I torture myself this way-I know that I am doing exactly what I need to do but I still get myself all worked up over it. So, we'll see what tonight brings but no matter what I am still going to keep on doing what I've been doing.

In good news, I have been asked twice in the past week if I'm an instructor at the gym!!! And, yesterday while I was waiting for my class, a wellness coach (not mine) was talking to me and he said "you're not in ME First are you?"...it felt like he was saying I didn't look like I belonged in ME First which was a HUGE confidence boost! For all I know, he didn't mean it that way but heck-I'll take what I can get! Hee Hee!
