Upside and Downside…
My clothes are starting to fit a llliiiiitttttllllleee better… but then again, I haven’t been 100% on my new eating lifestyle, nor have I been to the gym as often as I should.. but still my clothes are fitting better, I’m feeling stronger and I’m making better choices, one at a time!!! I’ve faltered, I’ve even scrapped my knee a good time or two, from stumbling…but I’m walking towards the light… (clean eating, consistent exercising…)…
Downside… the scale is telling me that the total of my bodyweight has increased by 3lbs… my mind tells me that the % of muscle has increased relative to the % of fat, hence the upswing in the numbers.. my heart is telling me that I’m just FAT… so herein lies the dicotomy of being me…. who’s report do I believe!!!!!!
And still …. I rise!

That damn scale will drive insane if you pay it too much attention!! Remember muscle has more density than fat…always gage your weight loss by the way your clothes fit and how your body look in the mirror…don’t give into the teasing of the scale…don’t
