Another milestone

VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

I haven't posted in a while but that's because I've been waiting for this particular day to come.

As my FB status said today "funny...keep a food journal = lose more weight...who would have thought?!"

I hadn't weighed in for over a month, which was tremendously difficult considering I was used to weighing in every day for over a year. I have to be honest, there was a sense of trepidation stepping on that scale again for the first time in quite a while. I got that little pit in the stomach and all of those negative thoughts started creeping in.

"What if the number went up?" "What if I'm not doing enough?" "I hope I'm not wasting my time!"

Then I thought to myself again...wait a minute...you've been tracking everything in a food journal for a month, you've been CrossFitting 4-5 times a week, and you've been making good choices...that number is going to be lower...and really if it isn't so what...your clothes fit better, you've been in a better mood, etc. If you need to tweaka couple of things so be it.

Big deep breath...then the moment of truth...

I looked down and saw a weight loss of 5 pounds. A little over a pound a week...perfect. That's sustainable loss. Throw that on top of the results I've been getting in the gym and you know what...I'm on top of the damn world.

So here it is again...keep a journal, make good decisions and trust that you're making the right choices every day. Do yourself a favor and focus on those things and weigh in less often...keep your eyes focused on the work and then celebrate the successes when they come!

Keep on truckin!
