Today when I got up I felt pretty good...until I got on the scale. It said 180.8! I checked it again- it was the same. After the third time I gave up.
One of my favorite fitness gurus, Bob Greene (Oprah's trainer) says what I named this post-the number on the scale doesn't tell the whole story.
So what is the story? Could be water weight gain. Could be muscle gain. Who knows? It's still a little discouraging.
Anyway, I know I'm doing all the right stuff with calories and exercise so I'm not going to let this derail me.
In fact, I had family over today for a special luncheon- an occasion where I would usually let myself overindulge, but I did pretty well.
Still though, if the scale keeps going up I'll have to cut more calories.
Since it was Sunday today I didn't work out. But I'm looking forward to tomorrow's workout. I'm going to keep trying to increase my speed and duration a little at a time.
In the immortal words of Commander Taggert- "Never give up! Never surrender!"
