It's kind of fuzzy...

...the scale that is.  I weighed myself the other morning without my glasses (or contacts) and it took a bit for me to focus and see the number on the scale.  Then it hit me.  I'm focusing too much on the number.  I have lost weight, inches; I have gained muscle and strength.  My wedding rings are loose and I don't have to struggle to take them off, or put them on any more.  I am down a pant size, and that is getting big.  I need to focus on what is really important...ME, not the number on the scale. 

I might not be super consistent with the exercise, I might "cave" into cravings, but I am still a healthier me than I was 3 months ago.

My hubby asked me one day "If you had the body measurements (clothes size) you wanted, would you care about the number on the scale?"  I had to think about it...and No, I don't think I would care about the number on the scale if I was the size I know I can be.  That is what I need to aim for, not a number on the scale that can't tell me if I am healthy or not.

Remeber, it isn't about the number on the scale, it is about how you feel.

Really? Now you tell me?

Let me start at the beginning...well, beginning of today anyway...

I weighed myself this morning (my obsession, I know) and I haven't lost or gained, so I'm pretty happy about that.; and off to work I go.  Before lunch I get a message from a distant coworker (same company different state, we met at a training class) who told me that I had been encouraging her to get back on the exercise wagon...she also told me that she was proud of what I had been doing.  Well, I'm riding this high about what she said and went for my walk at lunch.  Ell, her is where my day turned crappy...I was talking with hubby on the phone and we were discussing baby girls strength and fitness.  I mentioned that she will have some well defined abs if she keeps going with the cheer...and he states that he doesn't like that look...that is one of my goals for my fitness...and he doesn't like it!  Talk about crushing my dreams...so if I have the abs that are well defined, will he still find me attractive?  I'm having insecurities again...and doubting the working out...

He said that he would always find me attractive, but now I don't know about keeping it going...I know I set these goals forme and what I want, but what do I really want now...

September's Healthy's Goals

So, on FaceBook, I have decided to particiapte in a couple of different challenges, and one of the challenges is to make goals and post them.  I have done that on FB, and decided to do that on my blog also. 

September's Goals:
1.  Lose 10 pounds
2.  Workout 6 days/week
3.  Complete a 5 minute plank and a 2 minute wall-sit
4.  No eating 2 hours before bed
5.  Eat fruit daily.

Where am I at at the start of these goals? Well, I am down 10 pounds, as of today and I am not as dedicated to working out.  My personal plank time is 2 minutes 38 seconds and I can't do a wall sit for longer than 30 seconds. I am sure I can not eat before bed and I generally eat fruit when I at the office, but when I work at home, I don't eat so well. 

I will keep the blog posted with goals and where I am at on them.
