Hello again!! It's been awhile since I've written in my blog. Things have been busy and I got distracted with other things, but lets be real that is not an excuse. This is what happens to a lot of us who are trying to lose weight; we do really good and then something distracts us and we take some steps in the wrong direction. Don't let that stop you!!! You can get off track for awhile but jump right back in when things straighten out!
I started working out again and eating even better. I set a goal and I have stuck to it. My husband left for a school and I thought what a perfect opportunity to get myself back on track; so I did. My goal was to lose 5lbs while he was away. He will be home Friday and I have lost 4!!! What a victory for me. I also recently had a non-scale victory. I tried on a pair of shorts I wore last summer and I am so close to fitting in them again!! They actually fit up my thighs and all. So excited! So now you know even if you do get off track you can get back on and start with a bang. I sure did and I am so happy about it.
Let's talk about the scale. You know that nasty, mean machine you keep hidden away because the numbers on it scare you? That one! The most important thing to remember when it comes to the scale is that it is just a number. You can work out and not see that number move but that does not mean that you aren't improving. Instead of relying on the scale take pictures!! Pictures are the best way to see the change. See my picture below. That is my difference from May 11, 2015 to August 3, 2015 and I'm not stopping yet.
Take this picture and let it show you that the best way to show progress is through pictures. A lot of the time we beat ourselves up because we feel like nothing is changing, especially when that number on the scale doesn't move. A picture is worth a thousand words. A picture gives you the visualization that you need to see that you have made changes. It gives you the confidence that what you are doing is working. At least it did for me!!
