Seriously.
I feel like a yo-yo.
Or, more accurately, my weight is acting like one.
If you remember last Tuesday -
I had gained a pound compared to the previous Tuesday.
So, this week, I monitored the number throughout the week.
First, it held steady for a couple days.
Then, it dropped slightly.
Followed, by a slight increase.
Sunday, I was super pleased to see a 181.8.
Which would have been the lowest number yet on this journey.
I didn't weigh myself Monday.
And today, weigh-in day, it was 185.
Seriously.
What happened between Sunday and Tuesday?
I don't know.
I have my theories.
But they don't really matter.
The number doesn't really matter either.
And, yet, it does.
Those are the two opposing sides to this journey.
The side that is focused on the athletic journey doesn't care what the scale says.
And the side that is focused on the all the other stuff does care.
All I can really do is look ahead.
I can do that.

I struggle with the same thing. I tried to avoid my scale, and it worked for a while. Like a bad habit, I hopped on about a month ago and after finding a number that I didn't like I have been lured back in. Yet, I know that I am stronger! I know that I can run longer and faster! I know I am making healthy choices and setting down good habits, but still. Somehow that all goes out the window when I jump on the scale and see that I am still at 185 pounds. Ugh. It really is just a number, but it's a nagging, mood determining number. I wish I had something witty to say, but I struggle with this too.
