MSBFGE - Day 48 I didn't fall off the wagon!

MSBFGE = My Son's Big Fat Greek Engagement 

Hey Everyone  

I usually post way earlier than this but it has been one of those days.    I bet you were thinking, OK Kathy is not here I bet she was a bad bad girl.  Well, not yet    Yesterday eating was really good. I am not hitting the exercise as hard as I want to but don't want to kill myself.

My issue?  The SCALE..  come on we are the experts when it comes to Scales.  You know every time we put a few good days of eating and working out together we are soooo tempted to hop on the scales and no matter how many pounds we "feel" we should have losts it's never, ever, enough.   We are feeling so good about the way we are doing.  Weget on the scale and think we should show 5 pounds lost and it only shows 1.  And then you know what happens   We say the hell with this, I am doing all the right things and this is what I get for it    But what I have to tell myself ....get through the weekend, wait until at least a week.  Weight can differ so much and if I get on that scale now it may derail me.  Ain't going to do it, but I want you to know it is calling my name.  I could hear it so loud last night it kept me awake, so I put it in the cabinet. Still called my name, muffled grant you, but was calling Kathy...you have done so well so far come on, don't you want to know, come on I double dog dare ya  

I am not listening, I am not listening, I am not listening....

I can so feel you on this.  You're doing great.  And hey, you get to go to GREECE!  I don't know if I ever will, but if I could just up and go that is definitely on my list of great places to see. 

Hi Kathy and Everyone ~

I can SO relate to your story about scale "harassment"!!!!� I thought I'd learned that my criteria for success had to be�doing�everything "right" and that the **** scale would eventually follow.�

Well the good news is that I really have learned....� and can still be "tricked" by scale harassment!!!!� Then I have to do damage control with the emotions stirred up by my left brain storyteller – you know the one who starts the story about “How unfair the scale is and how resentful I should be� – which only make me question why I’m working so hard to do everything “right�.�� Then I have to take the time and energy to "reset" myself to know that I AM getting closer to my weight loss goals and will eventually see the scale change - by staying focused on the success of my daily plan.�� Sometimes the internal dialogue and self management can be exhausting ! LOL

Didn’t get here yesterday to document my plan and had a bit of a 911 after a decision to have a glass of wine with lunch.�Forgiving and moving on….�

Strength – 20 min
