Battle of the Scale

This week I weighed in the same as last week. I have always had a love/hate relationship with the scale. (Mostly hate.) I've always felt the need to weigh myself every day, multiple times a day. I was afraid if I didn't that my weight would get out of hand overnight and so I had to keep stepping on the scale. This year I am trying to break that habit and only weigh myself once a week. That may seem like a simple concept, but it is mentally challenging for me. The first week went well and I was able to stay off of it and I hope I can continue down that path. The scale stresses me out and I need to overcome it.

The first week of the year was very busy and I did not take the time to track everything that I ate as I should. We ate out a lot because I didn't feel like going to the grocery store after working late. I finally sat down and made a grocery list and am planning on going to the store tomorrow and actually eating at home. Today at lunch Dad asked if I had started jogging yet and unfortunately the answer to that is no. I did learn that it helps to be held accountable for something. If no one is ever checking in then I don't have to worry about giving them a negative answer. This blog really helped with that when I first started it so I need to be more consistent with blogging. Tomorrow morning the plan is to get up and get on the treadmill. No excuses, it needs to be done so I can be the better me that I started searching for when I started this blog.
