The scale is not my best friend. Or yours!

CONFESSION: I really watch the scale way too much! I don't know why, and it's a hard thing not to watch, but I'm doing my best.

I used to weigh myself on a daily basis, and it was killer for a while. It discourages me, and frustrates me, but still a habit. I'm still not perfect, but I'm down to once a week.

So today when I weighed myself I was discouraged for a moment... but only one! I had gained a few tenths of a pound. What?! I'm doing all this work, why have I not lost weight yet?? Then I remembered, I'm feeling stronger, my pants are less tight than they were last week. That is my body gaining muscle and losing fat. I will take that over whatever the scale says any day!!
