And let me tell you, it has not been easy. I used to be one that got discouraged easily (to be fair, I did “give up” for like two weeks in December) and the fact that the scale hasn’t changed at all since November didn’t really help. In retrospect, this might have something to do with the fact that I’m building muscle at the same time that I’m losing fat.
Apparently, something changed, though. It all started with a trip to Walmart. I set off on mission to find two pairs of tights as my current work tights smelled horrible all the time. I needed one pair for working out and one pair for going out.
To my utter dismay, the largest size they had was only a Large for the work out tights. Begrudgingly, I picked up the large tights and the extra large going out tights and made my way to the dressing room, huffing and puffing the whole way.
Obviously, I tried on the extra large first. I was satisfied, although they were a little loose up top. I was worried they would slide around as I walked. Not quite figuring out what that meant yet, I tried on the large. And they fit like a glove. I did a couple lunges and squats to make sure they’d hold up, and they didn’t move one bit. Ditching the extra large tights, I grabbed a large pair of the same tights and made my way home.
So basically, this was a long, drawn out story of how the scale is a lie and how I’m super happy that I am no longer an extra large. Here’s to small victories.
