Friday Weigh-in

After the scale battle this week, you wouldn't think I'd actually weigh-in today, but I did. However, I didn't manage to remember to do so before I had my cereal. So, after my cereal, but before my shower I did my weigh-in.

Wednesday night, and again last night after my ride, I weighed-in to try out the new scale. Both weights came in at a gain of five pounds since I started this whole thing. Thrilling! Isn't it? Yes, I know "muscle weighs more than fat". Trust me when I tell you at this stage of the game, and when you really want to be showing even a fraction of a benefit from all of your efforts, this does not matter! I don't care. I need to see some sort of payoff for my efforts.

Well, the big girl panties are now on (thanks Trinity!) and I'll work at it a bit longer before crying defeat again. Notice I'm not giving you any exact amount of time. I'm sneaky that way. Please keep on asking me, and keep on working on me. If you won't let me give up, I won't and I'll keep going.

Anyway, you wanted to know about the numbers. Well, I don't quite understand it, but overnight I've gone from gaining five pounds to now a loss of 0.2 pounds. I'm not really sure how to record that! The way I figure it's a net loss of 0.2 pounds since I started. I know our bodies fluctuate throughout the day, but I'm amazed! I said I would be weighing myself on Friday and Monday mornings, so I will continue to do so and that is the weight number we'll use. Maybe I should work on staying off the scale except for those two times a week. And the obsession with using the scale is exactly why I hate having one and having it so conveniently placed. Stay tuned for Monday's weigh-in after the longer rides this weekend.
