Before After

WTF!

 Seriously... I was so excited to weigh in this morning. I was so proud of myself and I gained.... granted only like .2 pounds, but I was SOOO frustrated. I thought for sure that I would see a loss... not only that but my body fat percentage was higher... which doesn't make a lot of sense because I have been eating sensibly and working out daily. Needless to say, I had a rough day. I kind of just let myself go. I did great until after school. All of the kids brought in baked goods and candy and left it in the teacher's lounge. Seriously, I just gave up. Then, I totally adopted the whole, "well, I already effed it up" attitude and I just deliberately made up for lost time. It was a pretty disappointing day. I really need to focus on making sure that the scale does not dictate how I feel about myself because before I stepped on, I was feeling great. I am thinking about making my main goals more "health oriented," so that I am not so focused on the numbers on the scale... so maybe instead of losing five pounds, complete 2 weeks of the Couch to 5K workout or something like that. I just feel like I need to retire the scale for a little while and just be. I am way too affected by it right now. Blah. Well, I am starting fresh from this point on. I brushed my teeth and drank a bunch of water and now I am just going to call it a day. Be done now. Well, tomorrow will be better. I am going to work out extra hard and go "Hard Core" and just avoid the carbs and sugar until I can handle it without going crazy.

.2 gain

.2 isn't bad at all.  But I totally understand your disappointment, you've been working so hard and for it not to be reflected on the scale is a let down.  (what kinda scale do you have by the way?  I'm looking for one that measures body fat as well)  I hope next week brings you a happier number.

Non-scale related goals is a real great idea and those wouldn't have such an emotional trigger like the scale does.  So now today you went all out on the sweets, but tomorrow is another day.  use tomorrow to make better choices and get back on track.
