Ode to a Scale

 

Last week 12 miles I covered of ground.

You said I gained 2 pounds.

I will not be blue.

Screw you scale, I’m better than you!

 

Last week a 5K race I did attain.

You said 2 pounds I did gain.

I say I ran an effin’ 5K.

Screw you scale, I’m better than you!

 

Last week a hill I scaled backwards on all four.

You said 2 pounds I did incur.

I say strength I will continue to pursue.

Screw you scale, I’m better than you.

 

Last week all my numbers did astound

And yet you said I gained 2 pounds.

I say muscle and pride I did procure.

Screw you scale, I’m better than you.

 

Today my morning 5K I am running.

Even though you say it is worth nothing.

I know the true value.

Screw you scale, I’m better than you.

 

From my lovely poem, you probably gathered my scale went up this week.  It’s ok.  I’m not a number on a scale.  America might think I am.  Doctors might think I am.  But I know I am NOT!  I killed it last week and some stupid little number isn’t going to change how proud I am of the progress I made!

I gained 1.4 pounds. My total loss since starting is 6 pounds.

I still lost inches on my waist!

My first 5k of 13in2013 is done.  Finished in 45:06.  Not exactly my best showing but a good starting point.

Still enjoying my new running club and strollercize group.

Goals for the week:

No sweets!!

Drink more water!

Be better at encouraging my Mamavation sistas!
