I wasn’t hiding from you guys. My phone went into some sort of coma the other night, and yesterday the Internet was down all day at work. It was a massive conspiracy to stop me from blogging! Or…maybe just an old phone, plus a thunderstorm, combined with a crappy Internet company (looking at you, Comcast).
Did I work out yesterday morning? *womp, womp* Nope! But hear me out. It’s not entirely my fault. No, seriously. My husband was up about 4 times the night before, doing lord knows what, getting water, sleep-walking, who knows. He woke me up several times. I know if I was really determined, I’d have gotten up anyway, but I decided to work out longer tonight to make up for it.
On Saturday, ready or not, I am going to face the scale. I skipped weigh-in last week. I’m dreading it, because I know not only will it be a gain, it will be one of those “OH MY GOD” gains. I can do a lot of damage in two weeks, which is how long it’s been since I last weighed in. I won’t be surprised if I am back over 170, after getting down to 157 before the wedding.
I’m an idiot for letting it go over a month. No doubt about that. I knew better and slacked off anyway. So whatever number the scale gives me tomorrow morning, I earned it, pure and simple. No one to blame but me. I accept that.
I started this journey at 217 pounds, and I never want to see that number, feel that way, or look like that again. I loved the feeling of buying smaller clothes, feeling my body getting smaller, feeling muscle build in my arms and legs. I have come too far to fall on my face now. I can’t give up.
Tomorrow’s number is going to be a slap in my face, but I need it. I need to let that number burn into my brain and say “No more.” It won’t go any higher. I am starting over and heading back in the right direction on this journey, toward my goal and not farther away from it!
But first…I still have to weigh in tomorrow. Blech. I don’t want to, but I will.

It's hard to face the scale after being off for awhile, but its the only think that helps push me to get back on track. Good luck 🙂

Rip the bandaid! Step on the scale – It is what it is whether you see the number or not… and once you do it, you know you'll be back working hard to lose whatever it is you've gained… You may even find it's not as bad as you imagined… Oh, please remind me the next time I take a few weeks off and start avoiding the scale!!!
