Lord that was not funny or That scale is a piece of cwap
If I truly believe that if I eat right and exercise that I will loose weight, how come I still want to weigh everyday. I am going to have to figure out how to enter the gym without going by the scale. Unfortuneately the damn thing is right behind a door in a stairwell in the hallway that leads to the weight and cardio equipment room. I have to go right by it. Maybe I need to pray as I enter the building. I want to loose weight and I want to loose it now! I don’t give a rats a$$ that I feel better and my clothes fit better. I want to see progress every minute of every day. Awah! Awah! Awah! Can you tell the scale lied to me this morning? Piece of cwap! This is one of those scales that doesn’t lie though. It is the kind that they have in the doctor’s office with the sliding weights. No springs and no electronics. I had a great work out yesterday or so I thought. Burned over 1200 calories. Ate salad for lunch and dinner. Nothing sweet. No sugar. No alcohol. No carbs. And the piece of cwap said I gained a pound this morning. What is up with that? I went into shock. I immediately reached down and checked my anatomy and confirmed that I am of the gender that isn’t supposed to retain water. When I regained consciousness I went into the gym and hopped on the eliptical and did my usual 35 minutes/ over 600 calorie workout. Then I went back by the piece of cwap and up the stairs to my Reebok cycle class. I rode like I was in the Tour de France. I was pretty frustrated and angry for the whole time I was working out. After I got off that bike I figured I would give that piece of cwap one more chance. I usually weigh every day before and after I workout. I consistently loose three pounds every day if I work out for a little over an hour. So I go back down the stairs, kick off my shoes, peel off that nasty soaking wet t-shirt, look around drop those shorts real fast hop on the piece of cwap and voila! Redemption. It showed a four pound drop. So God was just testing my faith this morning. It had to of been divine intervention. Now if he would be so kind he can award me the pound I should of lost instead of holding me at the same number. By the way one of these days I am going to be em-bare-assed and get caught weighing like that. Until then I feel the need to be consistent. Maybe I will suggest to the manager that she move the scale out by the front desk. That ought to cure me from hopping on that piece of cwap so often. It is just too tempting in the shadows of a stairwell.
So over all I can’t complain too much. I have only been back on this wagon a little over a week and even my DW, the one who I woke on Monday and shouldn’t have said she can see a difference. Bless her. I must bring her more gifts.
It is almost time to gather nuts, berries, twigs, and grass for lunch. I wish you all a very happy healthy day.

Hey, could be water from muscle swelling. Give yourself a break. Plus losing that much every day isn’t healthy. Try and only weigh once a week, the up and down fluctuations can be really depressing, I know. But you are doing awesome and I congratulate you!
Lordy Lordy, how you DO make me laugh. I absolutely LOVE your sense of humor John Boy.
Leave the scales ALONNNNNNNEEEEEE. Hopping on them 2 or 3 times a day is going to drive you mad. They WILL show a drop, trust me. You are doing all the right things, probably putting on some muscle tone with all the exercising. As long as you stick with it, they will move. Maybe not on your “instant gratification” schedule, but when they are suppose to. Besides, you said yourself that your clothes are fitting better, etc. So trust me, when the scales do show a drop, the elated feeling you will have will have been worth the wait.
Now I have to ask, do you really drop your shorts to weigh? In public? LOLOLOL
Have a great day buddy, and keep up the excellent work, and especially that excellent attitude!
Hugggggggggs,

John boy, if you’re going to ride the scales each day all day you have to be ready to really ride the ups and downs and just get to know your body and what the #s truly mean for you. Time of day is different, food intake, metabolism, water, etc. It WILL vary on that you can depend! I know it’s frustrating when you’re doing all the right stuff and the numbers don’t cooperate. Keep gong they will and someday you will believe what you say about living the life and the numbers will follow. it all takes practice and patience
OMG John Boy…I am wiping the tears off of my face, because you made me laugh so much…I could just picture all of that, and it was hilarious to say the least. I can sympothize with you. I weigh myself every morning, and I swear that the scales are going to go flying out my window on most mornings. All I care about though is that on the “Day of Reckoning” AKA “Weigh-In Day” They better show some weight loss…I dont know why we go up and then down, other then our bodies must shift the weight that much…Just keep up the good work, and I know that you will continue to see great results…I am here for you…
Hilarious! Yes, one of these days, you will get caught with your pants down!!! LOL!!! Maybe it was a good thing that it showed a gain…It made you work out really hard. I am glad you were redeemed after your workout though. It is hard to refrain from weighing yourself so much but Just MAKE yourself walk past that scale. Just think of how surpirsed you will be at your losses if you only do it once or twice a week. It feels like Chrsitmas!!!
Too funny!!!! I am still laughing. ok ok (trying to type a serious message..eh hem) I agree try to MAKE yourself go past the scale. You will make yourself NUTS!!!! and just be careful that you do not get caught with your pants down when you do weigh in..hahahaha
Lol…you are too hard on yourself! I too fight with the scale. Just know that EVERYONE has daily weight fluctuations (sometimes more than we would think!!) I once weighed myself in the morning after working a 12 hour shift. I slept for 6 hours, went to the bathroom, re-weighed myself and had “lost” 4 pounds! Just goes to show you how we fluctuate! Pick a day and a time (preferably morning if you work days). Only weight yourself once a week and try your very hardest to stick to it if you can. It will be MUCH more rewarding in the end! Hang in there - you are doing great!! : )
Ok dude . . . put the damn scale in the closet and ONLY pull it out on weigh in days! You are gonna make yourself nuts! Keep up the good work though! You are doing great!
