I realized just how good it was to put it away because, obviously, I had gotten into the habit of getting on it every morning.
No good.
When it passed through my mind this morning and I remembered it was gone and reminded myself why, I then thought to myself.......F*ck that thing. 
The wife and I were talking about how many calories make a pound and how many calories, on average, I burn due to exercise and general activity; and gaining 3 pounds in 3 days is RIDICULOUS and does not make sense. It's just one of those weird body things going on, and I don't need to subject myself to all of that on such a regular basis.
So that's that!!! |
I think that's a great way to look at it, and putting the scale away is a good idea in your case. You're right....gaining 3 lbs. in 3 days is crazy unless you were eating an additional 3500 calories a day worth of food - which I think you'd notice!
Our bodies do odd things....some days they hang onto water, some days they don't. Hormones play a huge role that I'm not convinced we totally understand.
I think it's easy to make ourselves crazy over things we don't have understanding of or control over.
If you know that you're eating right, exercising well, getting enough sleep....I'd say you're on the right track, and your body will organize itself around and find its own best place. Health is the goal...and you're doing GREAT!
