I've been duking it out with the scale lately, and I've finally decided that a number on a scale is a really bad way to measure progress and to track one's fitness level. I've been beating myself up because I got down to my goal of 133, but have since gained 3-4 pounds. I was so fixated on being at some number that I set for myself (which was totally arbitrary), that I didn't look at the big picture. Firstly, who says 133 is where I want or need to be? That number doesn't account for body fat percentage or muscle gained. It doesn't account for my fitness level either. While I've been obsessing about the scale, I've missed all the positive things I've accomplished. I haven't gained body fat, I've gained muscle. I wasn't sure about this until my Taekwondo instructor pointed it out last night. He noticed that I've gained some muscle and seem to be in even better physical shape than when I started martial arts a couple of months ago. I've noticed more definition in my abs and more core strength (all due to Taekwondo for sure!). I've also gained flexibility. I've also been running more, and have worked up to 5 mile runs, something I never conceived of doing before.

So, screw the number on the scale! It may be a great measuring tool for people that need to lose weight, but not for someone with entirely different goals: running a 10k/half marathon, working up to my black belt, and increasing flexibility. Now, where's my bikini? I have a pool to attend to.
