realization

I was so discouraged yesterday at my gain on the scale that I didn’t take note of the other changes that mark success. First I simply went to scratch an itch on my upper arm and when I did I felt like I was scratching someone elses arm LOL. It was firm with lots of muscle tone underneath, was this my arm? Wow it was and look no jiggle! Then during my walk on my treadmill, which I have in front of a giant mirror, I noticed my calves are way smaller than they were a few months ago(that must be why I was able to buy a pair of calf high boots and have them fit around my calves, something I couldn’t do last winter cause I couldn’t find a pair to fit my calves).  So I decided to measure, what the hell. Well I lost another inch in my waist(that is a total of 5 inches off my waist alone)and an inch off my butt(that is a total of 3 inches off my butt). Why aren’t my clothes fitting loser? I must have been wearing them awful tight, it’s a no wonder I was so uncomfortable-LOL. I can do this, I know I can. I don’t know why I get so upset. I just have to learn to measure success in more ways than that stupid scale-who knows maybe gravity was up, not my weight-yeh thats it-gravity-LOL. Have a great day everyone.

    I must get to the gym. I still have too much jiggle. I am proud of you though.

    Yay girl..so glad there are other ways to measure success than that scale…but you keep up the great work and you know that scale will give in sooner or later. Have a great day!
