It’s Not About the Scale

This has been a crazy last couple months for me for working out.  I got up to the heaviest I’ve ever been about 2 months ago, I a goal I was trying forever to reach and finally did. And you know what I realized? I wasn’t happy with the way I looked.  

Which brings me to a good point.  Sometimes (myself included) can get so wrapped up in hitting a certain number on the scale that nothing else matters.  The truth is that number doesn’t matter.  I worked my butt off to hit that number and then realized that wasn’t what I really wanted, so now I’m back to the drawing board and changing things up.  I am learning to go off how I want my body to look, not just my what my weight is at.  

Now don’t get me wrong still track your weight gains/losses, because we need to be analyzing and seeing if what we are eating, and how we are working out is working or not. But we shouldn’t become obsessed with the numbers.  So get that body you want, but don’t let the scale dictate your life.  Get fit and kick butt.  You’ve got this.
