Had a AHA MOMENT yesterday. Despite me feeling like death because of the flu, I had to take a mini road trip to Orange County to return my school books. While I was there I stopped at my Brother and Sister-in-laws house to visit my cootie patootie niece. Now, I’ve said many times before to not ask me how much I weigh because numbers do NOT define us or what healthy is. But, I can tell you the last time I had weighed myself was almost a year ago and it was right before I took the pictures on the LEFT – I weighed 151lbs (i’m 5’4). Well, while I was visiting, I decided to weigh myself because I knew they had a scale in their bathroom. That was a HUGE moment for me, I had to remind myself that the numbers mean absolutely nothing to prevent a triggering moment. Before I tell you what I came in at, the pictures on the RIGHT were just taken a few moments ago because I was SHOCKED at what I weighed in at and HAD to do a comparison shot for all of you to PROVE another point that NUMBERS on the scale do NOT define what healthy is. I weighed in at 148lbs yesterday, that’s only a THREE POUND difference between these photos. All the strength training through the squat/ab challenge has definitely caused me to notice some new muscle tone I never had before. I think this proves how much muscle weighs compared to fat.

So, ignore the scale. Listen to your body!
