Stupid Sexy Scale

I told you all, when I started, that I would be writing about the highs and lows of reducing my calories.  Well today is definitely a "low" day.  I got on the scale this morning in good spirits.  After last week I was so excited to see the results.  But then I saw the results...

I did not lose a single pound...nada...zilch...NOTHING!!! WTF??? How did this happen?  What did I do wrong?  Why does the scale hate me?  Why did my body fail me?  All these questions...with very little answers.  My best guess is that having two high calorie days could have affected my weight loss.  Another reason could be that I didn't eat enough yesterday.  Who knows?!?!?!? 

I sulked back to bed and pouted.  I worked so hard.  I went to the gym five days this week.  I went without my gym buddy, before I went to a hockey game, over the weekend, and in between meetings.  Grr...Stupid Sexy Scale!!!  The weight goes on so easily.  I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I thought I could lose slowly.  One pound a week isn't much to ask for. 

But, complaining only goes so far. The scale and I are fighting at the moment.  It won this week. But I was at the gym before it closed due to the impending Blizzard.  I'm still counting calories.  I'm NOT giving up!!!

On the plus side, I had a snow day!  


 Fun Fact: You can burn 300 calories by shoveling for 30 minutes!  Bring on the snow!!!

  1. Don't lose heart! At least the number on the scale wasn't an increase over what you saw last time! And the body is a funny thing. If you feel better and don't let one number slow you down, that's what matters!

  2. You've seen it on Biggest Loser - the dreaded "week 2 weigh in". The body fights against change, so it adjusts your metabolism in the 2nd week. If you keep at it, you will see the results you want! Good for you for not letting the scale get you down :)
