Ditch the scale

I'm serious. Get rid of the scale. Or, just quit weighing yourself every day. Did you know our weight naturally fluctuates up to 2 lbs daily?
Those 2 lbs used to drive me CRAZY.

I was recently told by a sister that she couldn't believe I weighed as much as I do. I'm 5'7, I weigh 147, and I am between a size 4 and 6. When I was in high school, I weighed the same. BUT, the big difference was my size. I was between a size 9 and 11. Weigh is on the scale does NOT matter, and I know it's SO hard to focus on that. What I work with people on is measurements. Measurements are SO much more accurate of fat loss than weight loss is. So, if you are working on losing weight. Focus on fat loss, take pictures, and take your measurements, and use those as a guide, not the scale. 

First 5 mile run

This is what your face looks like after a five mile run when it's been WAY too long since you last did a five mile run. Pretty sure I was dehydrated thru most of it because I had a pretty nasty throbbing in my right temple... But it could have been the allergies as well. Still smiling though, because I CAN run 5 miles!   #triathleteintraining #istillhavetolearntoswim

Sometimes your plan will change... Just don't change the goal.

It used to really bother me if I missed a day of a particular program, or if I did a different workout than the one scheduled. It would make me feel like a failure. Today was scheduled to be Plyo Fix Extreme(lots of jumping), and with my fatigue, that was not going to happen. But I still wanted to get some kind of workout in, so yoga it was. The older I get, the more I realize yoga's importance. And the more I do it, the better I get. My Crow (top pic) is getting better. I don't feel like a failure for switching things up. Sometimes your plan has to change, but the goal will always remain the same.
