The Dreaded Scale

Yesterday I had to work on some homework on campus so Matt and I worked out at the gym. We rode the bike first, me for 2 miles, him 2.5 and then did some arm exercises. I know, a lame, short workout but I had a big headache (still do).

While there, I went to weigh myself and see how I have improved. I haven't. Matt has lost a few pounds but I seemed to gain his lost weight.
It was really discouraging to see that I wasn't improving even though I have been eating healthy foods and exercising regularly. I took it really hard. My dear husband just kept telling me that it's okay, we just need to continue to stay focused, keep our good health habits going, and even improve on them further.

I have been trying desperately to drink less soda. I was doing better at first but have been slipping back to having more (maybe that's why my head has been pounding). He suggest we only have ONE soda on Sundays and that we add doing crunches and other exercises after we run. I really hope to see improvement of any kind. Being healthy is not always easy, I am just having to remind myself constantly that it's worth it and to not give up! Ask myself, why are you running in the first place? What do you want to accomplish?
I want to feel comfortable in my own skin and to be better than my weaknesses. I can only accomplish this by continuing to do the same things I have been doing and keep my eye on the end goal instead of the bumps along the way.
