New Stupid Sexy Scale

So ...  my scale was on the fritz, therefore I had to buy a new one.  The thought of a new scale had me intrigued.  To be honest, I was secretly hoping the new scale would tell me I was five pounds lighter and that my old scale was just busted.  WRONG! This new stupid sexy scale made me two pounds heavier :(  I was super disappointed, but I decided to turn my gain into a positive.  My goal last week was to work extra hard to lose those two pounds, which I achieved.  Therefore, I am starting fresh this week!!! Woohoo!

The scale always seems to be a hot topic.  Some people get on the scale each day, while others get on it once a week.  Then there are people who don't get on the scale and instead use their clothes as an indicator.  My feeling is that it is a preference and a personal choice.  I normally check weekly.  However, lately I have been obsessed with my new scale and I have checked every morning.  I think that it is healthier for me to only get on the scale once a week.  I don't want to be obsessed with a number.  

It's only a number, It's only a number, IT'S ONLY A NUMBER!  

My weight isn't the only thing that is important with this life style change.  I want to feel healthier in all aspects of my life.  Now that I have been working out, I sleep better, feel more awake, and have more energy.  On top of that I love trying on an outfit that was tight and it feels loose.
