The scoop was at the TOP!

Today was my weigh in day, as I stepped on the scales today I was nervous and wishing that the numbers would be smaller, They were. This week ive lost 500 grams, its not much but im happy with it because at least the numbers are going down again.

I try not to get caught up stressing over the scales and yet every week i find myself stressing and hoping that the work i have put in has been enough to bring the numbers down and if it hasnt and the numbers have gone up or stayed the same i get very annoyed at myself and of course the scales.
Ive learned along the way that the numbers dont always come down and you have to learn to be ok with that, when losing weight it is important to build muscle and tone up at the same time or you will end up with lose yukky skin. Despite what alot of people say, Muscle does NOT weigh heavier than fat, 1kg is 1kg no matter what it is. The difference is muscle doesnt take up as much room, so if you weigh the same please dont be disheartened.

I had something very rare happen tonight, when i got home after the gym i opened my protein shake and the scoop was at the top, I know to those who dont have protein shakes you will probably think i have gone mad by being excited over something so small but those of you who do have protein shakes im sure will appreciate my excitement over finding the scoop at the top. 

Well in my last blog i did tell you that i am enjoying the little things in life, Finding the scoop at the top was a extra little bit of happiness today.
Anyway ive had a few people ask for my blog to have more photos in it so here is a new up to date photo of me, it was taken yesterday when i was shopping for my new knee brace, Which i might add is a total pain in the arse to workout with. 

 Love always
