Fuck The Scale

Fuck the scale. Seriously.

I lost .6lbs and I'm pissed. I worked out like crazy this week and banked all my activity points. I do cardio six days a week and weights three times a week. I went thru my weekly points, but  didn't go over. I'm super frustrated. I know, I know. I hear the same old things:

"At least you lost and didn't gain."
"I've had those weeks too"
"It's all part of the process"

Blah, blah, blah.  Bottom line, I haven't lost  the weight I've wanted and it's all on me. I'm mad, frustrated and annoyed. All my numbers sucked! My lean body mass went down and my body fat when up. Am I not working hard enough? Am I miscalculating my points? Is it really my thyroid?

Ok, so enough of that. I'm acknowledging the craptastic weigh in and looking forward to next weigh in. I decided a few things:

1) Change my weigh in day to  Saturday bc Sundays are a heavier meal for me and I tend to use most of my weekly points on that day. Although, I think I will be more careful doing that now! I will weigh in again this Saturday.

2) Work out 60 minutes a day. No whining, complaining, or bitching.

3) Rearrange points so that I'm not eating as many at night, basically lighter dinners.

4) Positive self talk. I've got to work on this! I have a huge support system and they say all the right things, and I just have to believe them. Friends on Facebook were so supportive today and I really appreciated it. I also watched Biggest Loser and the Red Team was going thru what I'm going thru now so it was helpful to watch tonight.

We tried another recipe that I wasn't all that excited about bc I had a feeling it was going to be spicy. Matt liked it but I wasn't all that excited about it bc it was kinda dry and yes, spicy. It was better in a pita with cheese. It is 1 point per ounce, pretty good! I wish I liked it more.

So, tha's it. The scale fucking sucks, but I'm going to kick ass next weigh in!

Healthier Me Campaign Started Today...AGAIN

So, I came home from NH with a few added pounds....almost ten! I decided not to wait til 2013 to get started on getting back on the wagon and truly losing the weight I really need and want to. I have been the same weight for almost three years and it's time to get off my ass and lose it.

I already have a FitBit and I got the Aria scale that I asked for, so I'm set on that. It showed me a  startling weight and body fat percentage that made the decision that I needed to change...stat! I also ordered an indoor bike. If I'm truly honest, I HATE running in the winter but I love bring warm and watching TV. So, I figured, hey! Indoor bike to ride while I'm watching TV! Perfect.

My diet will go back to when I dropped my cholesterol almost 60 points: more water and green tea, more fiber, less fat and sugar etc. Matt and I hit Trader Joe's and got some new and healthy dinners. I got on Sparkpeople and Pinterest and got new recipes to try, including a spinach quiche and some Zoku treats.

Today, I got in my water and green tea, ate well and went for a walk with my husband and the dogs. I think I might try the DVD I got months ago tomorrow called Ballet Body.
