I Hate my Scale

So my weight loss for the week was 1 pound. Which I am actually pretty happy with considering the craziness and frustration this week with my numbers. So I am sitting this morning at a weight of 246.2, and tonight I can't help but just laugh to myself. Yesterday was 248.6, this morning was 246.2 and then tonight after dinner (basil spaghetti leftovers with a small slice of bread and a diet coke) I was 245.5!!! I did work out today (last day of week 1 of C25K, some treadmill and weight machines) but come on! It just cracks me up. Big lesson with all of this...

STOP WEIGHING MYSELF!!!!

Oh my gosh, my addiction to the scale is seriously sick! I gotta stop it before I drive myself more crazy then I already am:) I really need to work on that.

SO in short, so far my results are:

Personal Loss: -11.6 total, 4.5% gone
Challenge Loss: -6.6 total, 2.6% gone

I'm 11 days into the challenge and only down 2.6%. That's a little concerning to me, but I'm just going to use that as motivation and not let it get me down. Now that I figured out the weight machines I'm a little excited to really focus on my strength training as hard as I have been on cardio and nutrition. I'm even considering some 2-a-days at the gym;) It feels really good to be pouring all my energy into getting healthy instead of wasting my emotions wallowing in self pity on how I let myself get this way. I've spent too long doing that. I really feel that this is my time. And in a few months everyone will be able to see it:)
