wassonc's Journal, 10 May 12

I am getting so discouraged... first I bought a new scale because our old analog one was starting to act goofy (I think the springs were worn out) and when we got a digital it read almost 5 lbs. higher than I thought I was!

I still can't stand the way that I look in pictures- and it is soooo frustrating! I think one main reason is that I have a chubby/rounder face- I always assumed it had to do with my weight but now I am beginning to wonder if I just have a chubby face...

Wow- could I be any whinier? Probably. Ish, I can't stand whiny-ness even when it comes from me!

Ok, enough of that (for now- the day is still young, lol)

Good things:
- I finally learned how to make a cold bean salad. It takes like all of five minutes, and it is fabulous.

- I ran 6 miles at a pace that was under 9 1/2 minutes per mile on average.

- My legs are looking leaner

- My skin is still looking cleaner/more glow-y (I dunno how to describe it but apparently it is the same "glow" that pregnant women have because ever since I started running I keep getting asked if I am pregnant. Not an ego boost when you are trying to loose weight FYI)

- I am enjoying the new cute work clothes that I had to buy since I shrunk out of my old wardrobe

Goals:
- I want to start doing Pilates twice a week to help tone. Starting tonight.

- I really want to be running 7 miles in two weeks from today, I have been running 6 miles for going on 3 weeks now.

- I want to learn how to cook new, easy dishes. I have already joined a challenge for this and did a new meal yesterday. It was 2/3 successful- but it was a freaking awesome dinner anyhow.

Does anyone else but me read other's journal entries on this site? I read other's journals and I am beginning to feel like a stalker... not that it stops me from commenting but still....

You aren't a stalker as evidenced I read yours :). I understand about the scale. I think mine is giving out too and am dreading buying a new one because my old one says I weigh about 4 lbs less than my gym's scale says. I also am dreading buying new running shoes because of the weight difference. Silly huh? Anyway sounds like you are on the right track. You can do it.

I read others journals too. It helps me to stay motivated myself and realize that I am not the only one that struggles sometimes. I also find myself shooting for some of the same goals.

Yeay! thanks hobo :) Now I feel way less stalker-ish. Yeah, new scales suck- you have my sympathy. It's like going backwards without actually doing anything! So lame. And I totally get the running shoes worry. I guess we are both silly :)
