Weighing in

Sunday, January 31st 2010

So, i put the scale away for the entire month of January. It felt great. I could focus more on how I felt, how my habits were developing, and quit worrying about how every little choice I made was going to affect the number on the scale.

I did real well at some points this month, but even without the scale, I can still run into a rash of bad days. BUT, I have pretty faithfully tracked those bad days. 'Fessing up to them rather than trying to avoid the numbers on the page.
