I hate the scale!

I am obsessed with the scale.  I seem to be on there more than once a day, just checking out the number.  I am elated when I see it down a pound, and then I am disappointed when it isn't the same 4 hours and a meal later.  Am I crazy??  I am the only one obsessed with it?  Kind of feels like it. Feels like I am putting my self worth and happiness into a 3 digit number.  I just really want to see those numbers go down and soon.

I know that I am making a lifestyle change for the betterment of myself and my family, and I am doing well with it.  This will be the 4th night in a row that I ate dinner before 8pm and didn't snack (at least I can say that so far).  I am eating more veggies and drinking more water.  I did not drink my water quota today, but I should be able to get a few more glasses in before bed. 

I just recall a time, in my 20's, where the results from working this hard would just fall in my lap.  I recall losing 7 lbs the first week on Weight Watchers.  I may have to resort to counting points, I know my food journaling hasn't been the best. 

The family and I are going on a big bike ride tomorrow.  It will be nice to get out and be active.  My foot is still an issue, but I am determined to figure out a workable workout schedule with my husband this week.  I really need to step up the game if I ever hope to be down even 20lbs by the end of October.  The days and weeks seem to fly by.

For the coming week, I am not sure what the challenge will be, I will touch base with the ladies on that.  But I know I will continue with the water and no-snacking challenge.  I know those two things are going to be a secret to my overall success.

I vow to get my measurements (scary) and a full body pic next week (even scarier!).  It will help me to see changes any way I can.  If it is in inches and not as much in pounds, so be it.

My girls and I have had a rough week, physically and emotionally.  We have all promised to step up the game and stop beating ourselves up for what didn't get done yesterday.  Again, we are in it for the marathon, not the sprint.

I hope my ladies are having a lovely, relaxing weekend.  Wish we could all be together.
