Resolution Three: No scale.
I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a little bit obsessed with the scale. It actually is not as bad as it once was, mostly because I have figured out my bodies cycle of retaining water weight or putting on vacation weight, and then how long before it - more or less - works itself off. However, when it is just sitting there...next to the sink as I wash my hands...all shiny and red and cute...it can be so tempting to just hop on and check in.
This holiday season I really made an effort to maintain a balance between healthy eating and consistent exercise with allowing myself to partake in festivities that encourage some indulgence. It was really lovely actually....but that extra poundage came with it. The only way to not worry about it, for me, is to not let the scale get involved. I had a nice run today and Pilates tomorrow: aint no scale gonna bring me down.
While this resolution is partially in response to the holiday season, it is certainly an action - or non action rather - worth revisiting each month. Maybe by the end of the year, I'll get rid of the damn thing.
