New Milestone with Back
I did back today and I can do a single DB row with 35lb. It’s just so crazy to me that you can get stronger without looking like a body builder!
My other new thing is that I’m giving up the scale. I have decided it messes with my mind, and I don’t need the frustration. It’s like you get on that scale, and your frustrated if you gained, and you are happy when you lose, but then, you celebrate and you get back on, and your like - darn it! So, no more. If I’m eating healthy and exercising, staying in balance - numbers don’t mean a thing - and I’m getting stronger, so there is absolutely no reason to get on the thing. I just want to live happily, healthy, and peacefully, and stop trying to worry about numbers - because truthfully, it’s how you feel. And today, I feel great - and I don’t care what the scale says. I got my workout in yesterday and today, and yesterday, I was very healthful - and that made me happy today!
I remember when I was a kid and had no worries about food and weight. That’s where I am going.

If you want to track progress, using a measuring tape is much more accurate than a scale.

Good for you Kathy. You’re right, the # on the scale is just that. And not a reliable measure of progress with changes in both BF & muscle, as well as when you ate last, etc.. If you like how your clothes fit & how you look, you’re good to go. Keep charging.

Way to go on the DB row Kathy and you have the right attitude about the scale and the way you feel and look. Rock on!!
