Voila: The results on the scales

Sometimes in this weight loss journey it really is a mission of just staying the course.  On Friday I wrote a post about 'staying the course'. I was basically writing that because I was pretty happy with my week.  I had exercised.  I had eaten and stayed within my calorie count. I had a GREAT week in terms of living healthy.  I was sure that I was going to slay the beast that we call the scales.

So my official weigh in time arrived and I stepped onto the scales.  And voila......except it wasn't a victorious Voila!   
At least it wasn't a tearful weigh in.  I'll take the maintain.

I was actually halfway expecting the maintain.  It seems as if recently that I have been losing in a cycle.  One week I have a great loss and the following week I have a not so stellar weigh in.  Well....this past weigh in was an expected 'not so stellar' one.  And do you know what?  That is ok!



Regardless of what the scales showed, I AM living a healthy balanced life.  I AM making great progress towards being a healthy fit member of society.  I AM  doing what is good for my body, mind and spirit!  

Honestly, I don't even think I can write anything else....that pretty much sums up this blog...this journey.....this life.  Striving to always be better and making slow but steady progress toward the end goal!

You didn't lose, but you didn't gain - and that is the second-best thing that can happen in the weight loss world...and your overall weight loss is looking great! It's a long road and can be hard to see the results on a weekly basis, but over months it adds up and looks so impressive. You are doing great, seriously!

As my leader says, you held your own and it wasn't a gain. The check is in the mail.

Maintain is way better than a plus! I had a rough week last week but I am happy to say I am 100% back on track and feel great! Thankfully I stayed the course just as you did. Because had I given in I don't know where I would be today. Onward!

You're rocking the biking and yoga and your eating plan! I loved this video and I love your attitude.

Your body will respond soon. Are you having a cheat meal every now and then to help stoke your metabolism?
