I lost 2.2lbs this week. I think any normal person would be thrilled to lose two pounds in a week. I am glad I lost but each week prior has been such a big loss that this one seems disappointing. I know I could have had more water and I know that drinking water makes a huge difference on the scale. I know I shouldn't be disappointed but I can't help feeling "not as excited" as I usually do. I had a good week, I exercised 5 times and stayed within my points.
I wonder what it will feel like when I am no longer so hard on myself - when I can be happy with myself and feel like who I am is good enough. I wonder when I will feel like I don't have to keep trying to be better, that what I am is adequate and acceptable. I can only hope this will come in time.
Today I am going to work on being positive about my accomplishments thus far. I will need to constantly remind myself and stop the negative voice that's saying "that's all you lost", "there's so much to go", and "you still look gross". I guess you could say it's a hard day.
An honest account of my journey for a healthier mind and body.

As the saying goes, muscle weighs more than fat. Although most people hate to hear that, I am one of them, just remember that your body is changing and the pounds are not always the benchmark to measure. I think you need to be aware of the scale, but pay most attention to the tape measure. I recall being at my thinnest, wearing a size 8 and still weighing 160+ pounds!! Remember the Plowman family has some unique challenges with the scale Along with watching the pounds, you can have some very positive and re-energizing results tracking the inches.
Lots of Love to you!!
