You know what I hate the most about being active and getting healthy???
The scale!!!
I hate that little piece of "equipment" that is supposed to be used for motivation and track progress. You what that thing really does?? Makes women (and probably some men) go CRAZY!!!! Analyzing why that number is the way it is. Trying to figure out how to cut more from their "diet" pushing them to do double time at the gym.
The scale is annoying....it has a tendency to put such negative thoughts in people's head. I try to avoid the scale - because it tends to kill my self esteem at times. The thing about getting healthy isn't always watching the numbers drop drastically and sometimes the numbers change in inches around your waste or they change by the strength of your muscles.
Getting fit and being healthy doesn't always mean the numbers on that stupid scale are going to fall - but as long as your teaching your body what to eat and what not to eat and getting at least 30 minutes of activity a day - you're doing just fine.
It's time we stop letting the scale beat us up.....it's a terrible little thing that feeds too many lies.
How was your 4th of July?? Nothing I love more than spending an evening with my family!!
Off to finish getting ready for church - I love Sundays the fuel I need for the week.
