Mislabeled

I hate scales. Just going to say that.
Today was a weigh-in day. My nerves were getting to me as I went to bed last night. I really hoped my hard work was paying off. My diet has done a 180. I haven't been to a fast food place since the 1st of the year(except for McDonald's Salads) and have been making a lot of veggies and fruits.
I woke up this morning anxious to get on the scale.... only half a pound gone. Really? How is that possible?! I was doing Pilates and Yoga but could only do it twice last week. That is the only thing I could think of to make a difference. I know the scale doesn't reflect me work, and won't most weeks. I know I am gaining muscle, which does whigh more that fay.
The weird thing is... I feel great! People are noticing and making comments which makes my days brighten. I was pretty down this morning after that weigh-in. When I got to work, Michelle looked at me and said, "I can tell. You look fantastic." Instant smile. I am not going to lie... that is why I am doing it. The health benefits are great but let's not kid ourselves. I am a single girl in the last remaining months of my 20's. I want to look better. Bottom line.
