And just because you're not stepping on the scales doesn't mean that you're no longer accountable for your diet, health and fitness! <br />I stopped jumping on the scales a few months ago and had to find something to fill in the void - so I now do 60 jumping jacks, 15 pushups, 40 crunches 30 mountain climbers and a 30 second plank before every shower (saw it on pinterest - actually I've increased them all, but this is what it started out as), nice and simple and gets a sweat up but you don't mind cos you're about to jump in the shower. My sister does it with her kids every morning - they think its hilarious! So yes, takes much longer than jumping on the scales used to as the water warmed up, but I feel so much better about it. I also don't stress if I haven't managed to go for a run/walk/yoga/bike session as I'm getting a bit of exercise in as a matter of course. <br />Its all about swapping out old habits with new fun ones.

Or every evening after your shower?<br /><br />How about down a big BIG glass of water in one sitting. As a new habit. Rather than the scales. Just a thought to put it out there.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903728734280874993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-26248882050952559982013-12-03T03:48:30.869-08:002013-12-03T03:48:30.869-08:00Okay Nikki are we leading parallel lives?

I came back from overseas weighing less than when I left, but since being back (only a scant week and a bit I've gained 2 freaking kgs !!! I'm glad you are still posting, being accountable. Now the whole not weighing thing obviously worked okay for me being overseas (and being relatively active sightseeing overseas). It worked for Myriddian Shrinks (do you read her blog?) So it can work for you too. Just stay vigilant with the choices (easier said than done) but okay we've done it before, we can do it again right? I'm saying this as much as to talk myself into it too.<br /><br />Good luck, you can do it.<br /><br />Carol<br />www.finding-carol.blogspot.comCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903728734280874993noreply@blogger.com
