The totally irrational thoughts I tell myself when my weight won't move on the scale.
-I need to change the batteries.
-Maybe I need to pee?
-Maybe if I reweigh later it will move.
-Maybe if I move my scale to a different spot it will change.
-What if I stand on it a different way?
-Are my clothes to heavy?
Hallelujah! That sucker budged. It's official. My scale does work. I don't need to change my batteries ( I did this on day 1), or try something different. This also tells me slow progress or not the small changes are adding up. My fear is it shoots back up. Slow progress is still progress.
I'm still feeling slightly under the weather and checked my workout program before heading to the gym this morning. No crazy running, or burpees or anything that would make me have a coughing fit. I did have pullups, and shoulder rows and 3 sets of 400 meter rows and 3 one minute planks.
Last night I watched my daughter and husband roll in their jiujitsu class together. It made me smile. It's funny how much changes in just a few short years. 3 years ago we did zero activity as a family. None. Zero, Zilch. My kids hated even walking outside. Today my husband is off at my sons elementary school coaching the boys running team. He will leave there so we can watch our son play soccer. Tomorrow is another class for he and my daughter to practice jiu jitsu. They do this 3 to 4 days a week. He actually runs. FOR FUN. Craziness. When I first tried to get him to run 8 years ago he told me I was crazy. 5 years ago we walked 1.4 miles at the park, (well...... jogged) and he was sore for days. 3 years ago he started running with me and when I asked him to finish a 2nd lap he told me we were moving too fast. It wasn't long ago we finished 6 laps and have run 13 plus miles at once. He loves it. He tells me he loves it and I try not to say " I told you so" although he does admit I was right. We originally set our hearts on a marathon ( we finished our first timed half marathon last year) but we don't actively train as much for that due to our schedules.
I started this journey with the intention of getting healthy for me. I didn't anticipate my family would act as a sponge and absorb it all and want to be so involved. It makes me wish I would have started sooner.
Today has been a good day. I did have to skip a planned meal. My travel blender broke. I was more upset at not being able to drink the smoothie I started to mix and couldn't because I was hungry. :) I packed mason jar salads and my plan is to focus on healthy eating, water intake and prepping to avoid bingeing as much as possible. I've noticed since diet bet started snacks are lasting a whole lot longer in my house as I am not eating them! It also makes me more aware of just how much snacking I was doing!
