Me vs. the Scale

I waited about a week to step onto the scale again. If I stepped on everyday I think I would be more stressed out about the number, and fluctuations are bound to happen. I was 178.2! This means I dropped two pounds in a week! I am very excited and I am hoping the trend continues.

I have been doing very well with eating healthy. I feel like I just have a whole NEW mentality. Food is FUEL and that is it. I do not put things into my body that will make me feel worse, in the short or long run! My pants are fitting well again, so I must be about the same size as when I first purchased them about 4-6 months ago. Now to try and lose even more weight, I am excited and hopeful!

I guess the weight is not my BIGGEST concern, but I do want to weigh less. But some other goals that are important to me as well are more about toning up and increasing muscle mass while decreasing body fat. The main area of focus for me: my arms! I did not realize how they were slowly changing, they used to look strong and toned, now they have no definition.

In my toga picture is how my arms DID look a couple years back. In the other picture is how my arms look now. Ready, set, tone!
