My love/hate relationship with...my scale

*Warning- Before reading this post, I KNOW that I am breaking Wish #12 (and possibly #11)*

So, I started this workout program called P90X about 3 weeks ago. I haven't done it perfectly but I sure as heck have been doing better than before. I am working out more consistently, training for this triathalon, and trying not to fill my body with all of the garbage that I have in the past. I quit smoking and everything! Well, this is where I get discouraged...I have GAINED 4 lbs! Yup, I said GAINED. I know what you are thinking...muscle weighs more than fat, don't weigh yourself all the time, it's how your clothes feel... Yada, yada, yada! I don't want to hear that! I want to see those numbers on that darn scale going lower. (Like that song, low, low, low, low, low <---who sings that song anyway?) Also, my clothes are feeling tighter. I have also tried to stay away from the scale but I always succumbt to it's chants and teasing. "Maybe..." I think to myself, "Maybe today will be the day that I will see the numbers going down". But no...I fall for it's false promise only to see the number rising like a thermometer on a hot summer day! I feel like that teenage girl with a mad crush on the captain of the football team. All I need is a smile sent my way (or one lost pound in this case) to make me love you! Someday, I will see those numbers falling. I will probably take a picture of it, frame it, and put it on my nightstand. Look up, my sweet scale, and smile!!! Until then, I hate you!
