Here is something to cry about
Posted by madamlight on December 1, 2008
After a long holiday weekend without exercise, less the 5K on Thanksgiving, I think a cold tear drop rolled down my cheek as the numbers popped up on my scale. I saw the big 170.8 pounds. Yes, 4 days of no exercise does matter. I had company and work filling up my complete schedule and did nothing but sit on my hindquarters.
I quickly put on my work-out clothes and did the 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels on my new Digital T.V. Boy Oh Boy was it hard again. I completed the work-out, grabbed my water and jumped on the treadmill afterwards. A full hour of working out was needed both physically and mentally.
After a 300 calorie workout on the treadmill, I headed for the shower and that crappy scale of mine.
You see, I generally weigh myself after working out, never before. Thus, why you only see one reading above. I never even scanned the other numbers.
Here is what my scale read: (don’t look if you can’t take disappointment)
- Weight 167.0 lbs
- BMI – 24.7%
- Water % – 52.9%
- Bone Mass – 6.4 lbs
- DCI – 3045
- Metabolic Age – 25
No trainer and the scale just keeps going up and up. If I hit 25% BMI……….
Just think, Christmas is coming. Cookies, Fudge, sitting on my rump due to a big huge jam packed schedule.
Could I be setting myself up to see all my progress melting away?
