Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
I agree. Time to give the scale a break. Hopefully it will help us to focus more on hitting the workouts hard and eating right for the right reasons instead of just worrying about the scale the whole time. Good riddance scale!
ReplyDeleteYep, telling the scale to suck it, seems to be happening a lot more in my neck of the woods too. Enjoy the vaca from the evil metal monster!
ReplyDeleteGood girl. The scale isn't what is important in the scheme of things. You are making the right decision :)
ReplyDeleteSee ya later scale. Borrow a scale from somewhere and bring it in just to make your scale jealous-lol!
ReplyDeleteOne large princess straw needed for one bratty scale. The break will be good. I have an analogy I'm working on. When you boil water, there is a point where it just stays the same for a bit before it alters its properties and turns to steam. That's what you got going on baby! Your body is gettin' ready for the steam! And whoa its getting hot in here!
ReplyDeleteHugs.
I am sure if you did some measuring, you might see some of your hard work! I am also sure if you went up a flight of stairs and didn't pass out at the top, you would FEEL all your hard work. The scale may be acting like an asshole right now, but your body is getting healthier and that is a great thing!!
ReplyDeleteThat scale is a jerk, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI have given the scale the boot as well. No "scaling" for me 'til Halloween. I too was finding myself waaaaay too tied to it lately, so I'm going to break that habit.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea--stupid scale. Hope it learns its lesson and rewards you and the Mr. both the next time you pull it out!
ReplyDeleteI yanked the battery out of my scale 3 weeks ago so I wouldn't be tempted to go batty every day with it. I'm not going to put it back in until October 1st. We have our vacation next week and I have my meals planned for almost the whole week so far and have my workout schedule ready as well. We'll see what it's like when I come back, but the obsession was becoming too much. As you said, that stupid number would chip away at self-esteem that is far too precious to spare. We have value every single second of every single day regardless of what that !@#$$%# thing says. Believing it on the crappy weigh in days is a whole lot tougher though, eh? Big hugs, sweetness!
ReplyDeleteYes! Good for you! A very wise decision. You just took your power back from that silly scale.
ReplyDelete*hugs* I'm sorry this is happening and I absolutely, wholeheartedly, completely applaud your scale boycott.
ReplyDeleteIt had to be done...*sigh*
