I weighed in this morning, so excited to step on the scale after a 4 mile walk yesterday. Imagine my disappointment to discover I had gained a pound. What??!! That walk had to have been worth a gazillion calories! lol Good thing a few weeks ago I started measuring myself. I may have gained a pound but I lost 2" in my hips and 1" in my thigh. Hmmmm...whatever could have caused that? Perhaps all the walking I've been doing lately? :) I was talking with my friend Ruth yesterday who reminded me to keep it simple and that muscle weighs more than fat. How funny I really needed to remember that this morning on the scale :)
I'm not discouraged. That muscle gain is going to be worth the gain on the scale because it is going to work for the real estate it took up in my body by helping me burn calories while I sit around and write blogs :) I will say this; weight loss is as much a battle of the mind as it is a battle of the bulge. Staying in the Word and having people in my life to reinforce right thinking are huge guns in my skinny arsenal. When I read what the Bible has to say about me, and when my friends and family are rooting for me - it just makes me strive harder. I want my body to reflect the way I feel inside and that is: forgiven, loved, strong, new, happy and of course....skinny :)

AuthorMy name is Kat and I'm a single mom of two young adults. I have not always been overweight but after having children and going through some personal hurdles, let it get out of control. My philosophy about eating is this: Eat real food. Real eggs, butter, veggies. Eliminating processed junk as much as possible. I eat butter, not faux butter product because I believe my body can better process real food rather than chemicals. Archives
