Biiiiiiig mistake.
I did something really, really stupid this morning.
I stepped on my husband’s scale. This is stupid for a few reasons:
- Weight doesn’t matter. Depending on my body composition, I could span 2-3 different sizes *at least* at the same weight. With T-Tapp, I’m building muscle, so of *course* I’m going to seem heavy.
- My jeans are still tight. See item 1, combined with item 2, and not only is my body composition more muscular, but it’s also taking up more space.
- Mike’s scale weighs in a good 3 pounds or so heavier than the one I was using before
The end result? One hundred fifty-five. What? I haven’t weighed that much in more than 2 years! Seriously, people.
I love what T-Tapp is doing to my energy levels, my muscle tone, and my overall sense of wellness. But that said, I’d really like my clothes to fit. I bought some lovely slacks at Eddie Bauer back in November, and I’d wager that they won’t fit me right now. Granted, my body shape is better now than then, but I want my clothes to *&^%ing fit!
Earlier, I re-read Jeanne’s success story (may not link to the correct story after April, fyi) — one the covers a span of 2 years — and it was encouraging to me. But for real, this is turning into a total act of faith on my part. Will my body ever get the point?
is it almost that time of the month?
I wish I could blame it on that, but nope. I shouldn’t be PMSing for another week, at least.
Besides that, I’m not feeling “puffy” in the way one might at PMS-time. Instead, I just feel bulky, as if I’ve gained muscle, but haven’t managed to lose fat.
