This morning the scale went down just a little bit – it’s always nice to see that, even when it goes down just a tad. Tip of the day:  Keep a grocery list on the fridge and write down food that you need to get as soon as you run out, or know that you are…

My weight went up by .4 lbs – however, I ate A LOT yesterday, but I also was active a lot, too, so it almost evened itself out.  Even though I do weigh more than I did this time last week, it’s OK because the weight will fluctuate from day to day. Weigh In:  166.8…

This morning I got on the scale thinking that I was going to see a lower number and once again, it went up.  Same weight as last week, and there was a split second I was discouraged, but then I quickly reminded myself to not give up.  After my workout, I came back in and…

My body built up some muscle!  That is not the first thing I told myself this morning though.  The first thought that popped in my head was ‘The scale is going to be more and it’s going the wrong way.’  My body is still sore and exhausted from Saturday, which I believe has a lot…
