Daily fitness check in đŸ’Ș (Part 2)

Good morning everyone! Up and at it again. Not gonna lie I am feeling a bit frustrated with myself as the scale is not moving at all and hasn’t in about 3 weeks. I mean I’m definitely feeling better and that’s good but that number on the scale is definitely getting to me . I’ve been doing all the things I’m supposed to I weigh and track absolutely everything I eat and staying within my deficit . Strength training 3-4 times a week & staying active but it just doesn’t budge . I actually made my daughter get on the scale the other day to confirm it wasn’t broken :joy:. Considering hiding the damn thing away for a bit before it drives me mad. I can’t let myself be defined by a number on an evil device in my bathroom after all.
Anyways 
.
This morning was upper body that consisted of 3 sets of 8 different exercises + 15 minute jog on the treadmill .

You are not alone! The number on the scale can be so frustrating. Especially when we don’t see it go down after all our hard work. I started trying to focus more on how I feel, the way my clothes fit and my body fat % versus the number on the scale.

With strength training you are most likely building muscle and burning fat (which is great)! Downside is muscle weighs more. Could be why you aren’t seeing results on the scale? Try not to get discouraged, and know you are not defined by the number on that scale.

The PT I used to see often would tell me tracking body measurements was more important than the scales but I certainly get the frustration

Tried weighing myself again this morning and today it’s up!! @RR160416 @Seb you guys are both right and I just need trust the process at this point. That rat bastard bathroom scale is being moved to our creepy unfinished basement until further notice. Got up early and did my thing.

Spent 35 min on the treadmill
First 10 min was a leisurely pace then 25 min of walk/jog intervals

Was feeling Mondays workout A LOT yesterday so took a rest day. Like barely got 7000’steps in kind of rest day . Got up today and did 30 min of walk/jog intervals followed by an extremely busy day on my feet at work. Now it’s not nearly as impressive as @Tito23 ‘s numbers but feel like I definitely made up for yesterday’s lazy day.
