Entry Addicted to scale
Oct 08 2007 15:55


I weigh myself everyday, but only record the weight I see on Friday.  SO, what do you think, The scale weighed me at my lowest on Friday at 137, but on Saturday, Sunday & Monday it said 138.6.  I know that my clothes are fitting better, so I got out the tape measure and I had lost 2 inches on my hips.  So overall I am happy.  It is just that  I am addicted to the scale and go on it numerous times during the day.  I remind myself that the numbers don't always mean what they say.  Since I finally have the walking down, I am now going to try and focus on adding some stretches, conditioning and free weights.  I used the exercises from Denise Autins book on Saturday and this morning after my walk I did a 1/2 hour with Body Electric- A Fitness TV series I had taped.  So for today I am still motivated, but the bad new is for some reason I have a lot of gas.  It is so embarring, I hope it goes away soon.

The tape measure is a way better way to measure success...pun intended!!  The scale is what it is - I always weigh less on Wednesdays for some reason so I try to weigh on that day. 

Have a great day - Pepto Bismal always works for any digestive issues I ever get!  You can get them in chewable pills which are not bad at all!!  :)
