A Tale of Five Stones Too Many

Yeah, I thought new scales would be a nice thing. They’d be pretty and shiny and just generally lovely.

My beautiful, Evil scales of Doom

That is not the case when you discover that your old scales are out by possibly as much as 1/2 a stone…. that means I’m about 7lbs heavier than I thought I was. My BMI is still above 30! The sky has fallen and an apocalypse is upon us! Well, maybe not that last one, but that’s certainly how I feel about this phenomenon.

So now I’m just about to go for a run as I suddenly have approximately another 7lbs to get to my next mini goal, which was why I brought new scales in the first place, as a reward for getting a BMI below 30, *sigh*. On the plus side I have new exercise trousers, size 16, that are cut off at the knee - now I’m not claiming they’re a perfect fit, but this way they will hopefully fit for longer :D. Very sporty looking, that’s me
