Update on a few things...

[slat1]

I was away on vacation for two weeks. Before I left I decided I had enough of the dreaded scale. Its been about three weeks now and I have not stepped on a scale. Its been awesome!
Now when I am done working out I feel accomplished, motivated etc. Its amazing how seeing a random number on a scale can ruin that.
I'm doing even more cardio now that I am not staring at the scale looking for results.
If you hate the scale try it. Its a game changer.
On a different note it was awesome getting some sun. A small tan and everything started popping out.
Working out in the heat was great too. I got really vascular.
This summer should be great. We all have plenty of time to make changes. Lets do it and make it a good one!
I have no clue what I weigh. At last check I was 250. With a little bit of a tan I am seeing my abs come back in. They are not far off at all from where I want them to be.
My waist is a bit wider than I would like. That seems to be coming down too.
No scale and I am all positive with my workouts again!!!

Sounds good!! I hate the scale too!! Everyone always talks about how it doesn't accurately measure your weight and is usually just discouraging... and so I was thinking of taking a picture of 'before' and 'afters' for reference instead. Good luck with your training/tanning, lol.

I used to take a progress picture once a month and have a 7 point body fat caliper test done. I was so much more motivated back then. Got to get my mojo back!!!

Good for you Slat that makes a world of difference!
Also a mini vacation doesn't hurt either.

As a former scale junkie/addict I made the decision not to step the scale about a year ago and just be free from wasting my precious thoughts on a silly number...and it turned out to be a great decision. Lol in fact, I was asked my weight last week and I honestly had no clue what my weight was. It was awesome, the man that asked me looked really surprised I had no idea what I weighed and I was happy with myself, too.

I stepped on it last night out of curiosity.
