Bad week

So I went to the gym Monday.
I did a bit of walking to warm up and then did my weights (added in the bicep curl machine for variety) and finished with some cross trainer.
Ended up rather dizzy and light headed so went and sat down for a while before doing my stretches.

And then I weighed myself.

Talk about a downer... and I don't mean my weight. That was not down at all. That was up 5 fracking kilos is what that was.

I was soooo utterly depressed by those stupid numbers.
And part of me wanted to disappear into the nearest junk food supply and chow down until the year ends.
A completely irrational and stupid response, I know. And one I didn't end up indulging.

But it kinda knocked the wind outta my sails, so to speak. And last week was a bad one - I didn't get to the gym at all after Wednesday. And I ate more than I should have. ARGH! I'm fighting major stresser-triggers for emotional eating at the moment. Stupid work. Stupid uni. But... gym tomorrow. PT with the little blonde nazi... I'll tell her and she'll get me moving.

And my arms really hurt - the muscles on the inside bend of my elbows... talk about OW!

Ohh crappy!
But don't you always gain before you lose? It's like some sort of cosmic joke...

after conversation/email with my sister and Phish, I'm thinking the scales were previously stuffed and have now been sorted and I now have a more realistic starting point...

that or I've been eating the bricks Phishez mentioned...

Don't eat bricks. They're bad for your teeth.

Hey...they are after all, just a bunch of stupid numbers. And you wrote about it....and you are keeping on going to the gym. Stuff is happening girl! You didn't go and pig out HUGE pat on the backs for you..I couldn't have done that.

keep going to the gym! keep eating right. if you sweat and work hard consistently and don't eat too much you will get thinner. if you could be your 'goal size' and still weighed the same - would you give a shit?

fuck the scale.

you can do it sister. just focus on the inches and how your clothes feel.
