Hello, I am bummed out today because I stepped on the ’scale’ in excitement, thinking that I had lost my .5% of body fat. However, ‘IT’ said that I gained 3% B.F. and 2lbs!! I was so mad at myself for getting as upset that I did. I know that it’s not always accurate and that many factors play into that number but I just could not believe what I was seeing! Now I feel that my day has started out so sour and I do not feel as disciplined about my eating today!

I now have a question for all of you: Do you find that the scale is a source of motivation for you or does the number not affect your motivation either way? Or, are you like me, and it’s a double-edged sword? (if the number is right, you are motivated…if the number is not what you want, it decreases your motivation)

I do not like going onto the scale for this reason. I like to go by HOW I FEEL. I know when I’ve been snacking too much…I don’t need a scale to show me this!

Anyway I just needed to vent to all of you…thanks! I’d love to hear some feedback on this too.

I know I’ll get over this anger, and move on…actually I think I’ll take it out on the weight today! I am still doing 8 sets of 8 from the Fit Chic Year of Workouts. I have been following everything so perfectly….another reason why I am so mad! Yes, I know, let it go!!

Have a great day!

Cheers to health,

Angie
