Motivation and Project no-scale day 5

So I made it through the weekend. I made a conscious effort to focus on being happy and healthy and not worrying about the scale. Granted, Friday night I tried to get on a scale at Ikea in the bathroom section and my boyfriend rammed me with a shopping cart to stop me. He's the best.

Yesterday started a new week and I won't lie, I really wanted my scale again. I wanted to know what "damage" I did over the weekend and how hard I would have to push myself this week to make up for it. It is a weird feeling to not know. I feel like I've lost, for no other reason than my clothes seem to be fitting better. Maybe it is all mental? Honestly, I can't wait for Thursday to weigh in. Can't come soon enough.

In other news, I found this idea on Pinterest and thought it would be a nice change from obsessing over the scale. In the jar on the right are 50 pebbles. Each pebble represents 1lb. I used my last weigh-in from last week to decide how many stones to put in the jar. After my weigh in Thursday I will either move stones over to the "PoundsLost" jar (*crosses fingers*) or add more stones to the "Pounds To Go" jar. I'm hoping it will be a fun and motivational way to watch these last 50 lbs come off.
