Darn Weight Scales!

A few days ago I decided to weigh myself. I hadn't weighed myself in a month.

I stepped on the life ruiner and was disappointed at what I saw. I hadn't lost any weight. I've been stepping up my workouts and challenging myself, but the scale did not show my work.  Which brings me to why I think the scale lies.  

I measured myself a month ago around my waist and hips.  

My waist was 35 3/4 inches.

My hips were 43 inches. 

Today:

My waist is 34 inches. 

My hips are 41 1/2 inches

I've lost more than an inch and a half! 

I am aware that muscle weighs more than fat, which I am excited to be gaining muscle.  

I am a big component for healthy living and not just losing weight. Losing weight is important. However, if I'm so obsessed about the darn number on the scale, I will never meet my goals.  

I have a calf muscle starting to show. :)

Here's to more than an inch lost! :) I'm feeling accomplished regardless of the scale.  No more weighing for me. I'll leave that up to the doctor's office.

Always,

Leah

P.S. I did in fact NEED new running shoes. Ha! Just ordered some on clearance!! at Academy. (Texas sports and outdoors store.) All within budget, of course.
