When in college I took a Kinesiology class. It was basic, so it covered all the various ways to be healthy vs. unhealthy from diet to exercise to stress to occupations, etc. The class changed everything about how I looked at our bodies and really helped shaped who I am today. One thing the instructor told us was the 80/20 rule: If 80% of the time you're doing the right thing for your body, the other 20% won't matter.
Today I experienced that and am beginning to respect my body even more. This week my hormones have been heightened so I'm eating more, including more candy/chocolate than "normal." I was going to just skip weighing in as I wasn't in the mood the see the consequences. I decided to go ahead anyway and only gained a half a pound! It's amazing how the body is able to "ignore" a few bad days when the rest of your month has been good.
Happy Friday!
