Hello, friends. If we were having coffee, I\u2019d tell you that two weeks ago, I decided it was time to start tracking my food again. After a lifetime of a disordered relationship with the scale, I have found myself in a good place mentally, but, as I talked about recently, some bad habits have been creeping their way back into my life. It was time to get ahead of it all.<\/p>\n
I downloaded the My Fitness Pal app and have been dutifully logging every morsel. It\u2019s really easy, I pack my lunch and snacks for work and then while I eat breakfast, I log in the food for the day. It\u2019s a helpful reminder to me to not grab mindless snacks and to also remind myself that I eat a good amount of food each day and therefore dinner can still be lighter.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s day 12 and I feel so much better. The initial water weight feels gone and I feel my pants getting a little roomier. However, yesterday I made the mistake of getting on the scale. I think it\u2019s actually unhealthy, to weigh ourselves and am considering tossing it out. It gives a skewed perception to progress that I felt was on the right track.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not about the number on the scale, it\u2019s about being healthy and balance feeling good. I\u2019ve enjoyed a date night out one night and some wine here and there and really feel a good balance. Goodbye scale.<\/p>\n
If we were having coffee, I\u2019d ask if you\u2019ve been to Fitbloggin and if you\u2019re thinking about going this year. Fitbloggin is a way to connect with like minded people through blogs, social media to inspire each other and others. There are yearly conferences.<\/p>\n
Roni (the mind behind Fitbloggin) and Carla, wrote a book called \u201cWhat You Can, When You Can\u201d and they have a podcast, that is great and informative. Listening to these two inspiring ladies is like having coffee with your friends every week. Seriously, go and listen, it\u2019s on iTunes and they publish weekly. You\u2019ll be so motivated to choose healthy habits and to not get down on yourself for not achieving someone else\u2019s definition of perfect.<\/p>\n
Alright, my coffee is long gone, it\u2019s time to wrap things up. So, thank you for stopping by and be sure to visit some of the other blogs that we have linked up.<\/p>\n
