I braved the scale this morning. It was time to confront the fear and face whatever the number might be. The number was 130. That wasn't the number that I wanted to see. However, after letting loose a string of expletives, I thought about it and it's not so bad. First of all, I have been doing less cardio in recent weeks. Second of all, my food intake has been far from ideal from a weight loss perspective. So it is what it is and when (or if) I'm ready for that number to get smaller more quickly I'll take the necessary steps to make it happen. Also, seeing that number on the scale does not diminish what I have accomplished in the last few weeks--particularly feeling stronger, healthier, and happier.
