Scale In Hiding-Week Two

Happy June everyone!
It's getting really warm and beautiful outside, I hope you all are taking advantage! I'm trying to. It's getting to the point of planning when to take the girls out for a walk because I'm scared of them overheating. However, it is amazing to layout and read a good book in. By the way, if you are looking for a good book, Overseas by Beatriz Williams is so good! Took me only a day to read it.


So this last week, it has been a very busy week. T and I went to Oklahoma City with four of our friends. It was so much fun. We went to the Oklahoma memorial, took a boat tour on the canals in Bricktown, visited Coyote Ugly, walked around the mall, and went to the Cheesecake Factory.

I have no idea why I'm holding my stomach all weird. Just ignore. :)
T has been planning and getting ready for a bachelor party he is hosting soon for his best man, who is getting married next month. I've had an interview for a new job (cross your fingers, I'll find out on Monday!). I've been trying to work out and eat better, well forever, but especially since I have said goodbye to my scale. If you aren't familiar with the little experiment I'm working on, read about why I'm hiding my scale, here!
I've done well with my goals of walking the dogs and working out 3 days a week...not so well with the logging meals. Especially with us going on an impromptu trip, I wanted to be able to enjoy the moment and have fun with my friends. Not worried about food or the carbs I was taking in. I wanted to enjoy everything while still making good food choices. Such as at the Cheesecake Factory when we all ordered a piece of cheesecake and shared them, so good!

Saying goodbye to the scale has really helped and I've noticed myself being more aware of what I eat and how much I move during the day. I know that I have been more focused on how I feel, how clothes fit, how I feel self-esteem wise. On the other side, I have wanted to measure myself to make sure I haven't gained any weight. That's probably not the healthiest mentality-I'm continually working on making sure I have a positive relationship with my body and food.
It has been easier to forget about the number on the scale the longer I have gone without checking it.


I'm telling you, if you're struggling with being obsessive over the number on the scale-and don't say you don't because I know everyone does-give this a try. Focus in on yourself and how you feel instead of the number... It's hard. Really, really hard not to worry about that number, but I want to believe that feeling more confident and self-assured is worth any number.
