I only weigh myself once a month; after my cycle. I noticed I would stay the same weight and then once my cycle was over I would suddenly drop pounds. That was when I was using the Bowflex regularly too. My doctor actually said not to weigh myself; just keep moving. So that's my whole exercise philosophy. Just keep moving. Taking the pressure of a scale or sizes off has done more to keep me going than anything else ever would. Following the scale too often is like staring at the top of a mountain from the bottom. I got down 30lb that way. I don't know where I am right now but I'm not going to check either. I'm at that time where my period is getting ready to start so I want to eat everything in sight time of the month.
I've also seen people post pictures of themselves side by side. One before starting to exercise with lifting and one after. They were basically all the same weight or heavier; but way more lean and defined. I'm not going to that extreme; but it does make me feel better about not wanting to watch numbers. Plus "inner" fat goes first so you don't alway see those results immediately. I feel good. I'm stronger and have more endurance. I like that my doctor agreed that was more important. She said the numbers would follow.

I'm dreading new frames because I hate the styles right now. They give me flashbacks to my first glasses in 2nd-6th grade...big colorful plastic ones that were too huge for my face so they sat on the end of my nose. No thanks! Last year DS and I went into the eye doctor at the same time and I didn't have to upgrade my glasses. This year I just didn't feel like it so I only made him an appointment once things opened again.Just a thought.
When my mom was visiting a few weeks ago, she said "Sara, you have been wearing those same glasses since the beginning of University way back in 2009". I told her that I liked them and I've just got my lenses replaced if my prescription changed. I never really thought about getting new frames, but maybe a change would be nice? It maybe about time
