Camp Biche

Mr. Reyes said that he and Mr. Agassi learned not to let the scale rule your life. “We had a little bit of a phrase,” he said. “The weight scale to most human beings can be like a Ouija board. It can start messing with your head.”

We don't have weight scales at Camp Biche.  I don't want people to be made psychotic by a number that has no meaning.  

If you feel good;  if you feel comfortable in your clothes; If you can easily complete an hour of strenuous activity; then you don't need a scale to validate the current state of your body. You're where you should be.

The other quote I loved from this New York Times article:

Before he retired from tennis, Mr. Agassi would sometimes gain weight and then stop eating, trying to shed the pounds fast. Mr. Reyes discouraged this. “I said to him, ‘Why do you feel like you have to stop eating to lose that weight?,’ ” he recalled. “ ‘What if you were to eat 10 to 15 percent more, but train 40 percent more?’ ”

This has been my guiding fitness philosophy all my life.  Love food!  Love moving!
