Though I tried not to, this AM, I hopped on the scale.  My next weigh in (for the contest w/ hubby) is Mar 1, but I succumbed to the urge to weigh myself.  208.6.  I started thinking - "Damn.  I’ve been up and down over these past few weeks, but I can’t seem to get lower than 208.6"!  And, It’s Highly Unlikely that my scale is broken. Yes, I know..weight isn’t everything.  But those numbers have become the yardstick for how I measure my progress.  My efforts.  My successes/failures.  It’s a vicious, self-depreciating cycle.  Yet, I still do it. I’m really trying not to make the numbers my life.  I’ve definitely gained progress in other areas.  I’m able to run more.  My endurance seems to have improved.  I feel myself getting a little stronger with each workout.  And, I’m making better nutritional choices overall.  Yet, the 208.6 still haunts me. Oh well.  Mar 1 is around the corner.  Let’s see if we can get that number just a li’l lower….
