Lately, I find myself looking into WiFi scales. \u00a0You know, the ones that weigh you and then automatically upload that number so you can’t forget in the minutes between weighing and going to the computer to log. \u00a0The ones that make it so you can’t “forget” to log your weight.<\/p>\n
I use an app on my phone to track my weight. \u00a0I make it a point to weigh every day so I can get a good idea of what food and exercise does to my body. \u00a0It helps me see if there is a trend going on with my weight. \u00a0If I’m suddenly up 2 pounds in a day, I don’t worry about it as long as those two pounds disappear. \u00a0If I’m surprisingly down 2 pounds in a day, I can’t let that motivate me too much – I’m probably just dehydrated.<\/p>\n
But there are definitely days where I see the number on the scale and I just don’t want to write it down. \u00a0It’s higher than I want it to be and I know it’s because I’ve been eating poorly. \u00a0So I don’t write it down. \u00a0Because if it’s not written down, it’s not real, right?<\/p>\n
Wrong. \u00a0And maybe this is the problem that I’ve been having with losing weight all along. \u00a0It’s a struggle to find balance to properly fuel my body for training without overfueling, but that’s not the issue. \u00a0The issue is that I lie to myself. \u00a0“Well, tomorrow is my Weight Watchers reset day, so it doesn’t matter what I eat today because points reset tomorrow.” \u00a0Yeah, that doesn’t work so well, self.<\/p>\n
So the key here is to be honest with myself. \u00a0Because of my training, I don’t expect to lose weight fast. \u00a0I know that some of it is building muscle. \u00a0But the belly fat isn’t muscle and it needs to go. \u00a0And to encourage it to leave, I need to be accountable to myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
