so this morning just before my shower i decided to dust off the old scale and see how my relationship with gravity was going. i took those two steps with about 60% confidence, 30% uncertainty. that's a pretty "confident" ratio for me... so needless to say i expected good numbers...
but alas, i was wrong. i had actually gained back all 5 lbs i had previously lost. i felt defeated, and went about my shower.
after intense thought {which is what we do in the shower, right?} i decided i hadn't been defeated just yet. i needed more proof. i have been feeling better about my body and my clothes have all been fitting more loosly, so i decided to measure myself as well to just confirm that this was actual gain.
and then something weird happened.
i lost inches.
my legs, my hips, my waist... everything. smaller. just as i had been back when i was 5 lbs lighter.
water weight?
muscle gain?
i'm not sure what it is, but at least that small victory in inches has kept my motivation alive for another week of running.
