Boot Camp… eck!

Hello my friends! Happy Tuesday! How are you guys? I’m good, thanks for asking. Haha

So, I’ve done some thinking lately. I’m WAAAAAAAAY scale obsessed. I really need to knock it off. And I am going to try something to see if I can get over this bad habit of weighing myself everyday. I’m not going to weigh anymore. I mean, it’s not like I’ll NEVER weigh in again, but as a little tester, I’m not going to weigh in, AT ALL, for at least the next week. Yep, that means I will not have a weigh in this coming Friday. I need to learn that the scale is just a TOOL we’re using to measure how we’re doing, it is NOT the ONLY tool. So, I’m going to say bu-bye to my scale for a week. I know, I know, that doesn’t seem like that long, but really I just need to miss a weigh in – that’s what I’m going for. Just to miss one, so I can show myself that Friday and weigh ins are not the only tools for success.

So, I guess I won’t know if this is a good thing, or a bad thing, until NEXT Friday when I resume my weigh ins. I MIGHT have my mom, or my sister, or SOMEONE look at my number on the scale THIS Friday, just so I can journal it. I track my weight on weightchart.com and I have yet to miss a week, so it’s a little psychological thing about not wanting to miss a weigh in – but I will not be looking at the number. And if I’m too ashamed to have someone else see my number (notice how I haven’t told you guys yet what I weigh…?) – then I just won’t weigh in. It’s still a work in progress… I’m not really sure what I’ll do yet. I just need to get away from the damn scale for a bit. What are your guys thoughts on that…? I just need to do something other than obsess over this stupid number.

In other news, Adam and I are going to Boot Camp tonight! WE ARE GOING. <--- see that? We are going, no excuses! The class isn't until 7:15 - so I'll have plenty of time to get home, eat some dinner, let it settle and get to the Y before the class starts. I am scared! I really am. But, the woman who teaches it was my instructor for kettle bell class, so it will be a familiar face. But, I'm still scared. All I figure is, okay, if these older women can do this, I can fricken do this! I'm 24 years old - I can do this if a 50 year old woman is doing this! I am nervous to do it with Adam though, because he's in better shape than I am (THAT doesn't take much), but I'm confident I'll be super proud of myself after I'm done. :) Eating today has been good. I am getting myself BACK ON TRACK - in all aspects of this journey. I let my self slip, now I'm catching myself. I need to remember everyday to "Make TODAY a good day" - it's so much easier when you're only focusing on ONE day. SO much easier. And dammit, I have made today a good day and I'm not done yet!

Shout out to Jill from Australia – thank you so much for the comment on my post from yesterday. I have an international reader! I’m so excited about this. And really, it kind of kicked my butt into gear a bit, so THANK YOU Jill for your first time comment. I appreciate it. PS – I’m sure I’d take your “weird” Australia weather over this snowy, cold, Minnesota weather ANY DAY! :)

Since today is coming to an end, I’m going to say this: Make TOMORROW a good day. :) That’s it. Just tomorrow. :)

xoxo
Lindsay
