Oh to be just overweight!

So, I went to weigh myself a couple days ago and the scale wouldn’t register anything except 0.0, so I called the company the next day (yesterday).  They said to send it in and they’d take care of it, so I am without a scale.  Let me explain something…I am a weighing nut.  I like to see how things effect my weight so I weigh at least 2-3 times per day.  That may sound nuts to some people, but to me, it’s research.  Anyway, I have been scale-free now for 2 days and I have not gone crazy, so that’s a good thing.  I am trying to go without a scale until I get mine (or a new one) back.  I have tried to weigh myself on my Wii Fit, but it’s not as accurate for me since I use it on carpet.  I will plan to weigh somehow before the end of the month to see if I made my August goal, but otherwise this is a good exercise in self control for me.  LOL   Can I eat properly without all the scale feedback?  Yeah, I think I’ll be alright.  Talk to me in a week and we’ll find out for sure!

On another topic, I was able to get a hold of the town doing the 5K race Saturday and get the info to register.  I’m so happy to actually get to do a race!  I love the race atmosphere and look forward to seeing how I do as a result of completing the C25K program.  I’ve never actually done a 5K, so this will be interesting.  I’ve done a couple 10K’s as a teen and I’ve done a couple sprint triathlons as an (obese) adult, so this is new territory…to race as a healthier, older person. 

Lastly, my son’s poor cat got his head caught in a gopher trap and was seriously injured and now we have to decide what to do with him.  I’m sure he’s in pain and can’t walk properly anymore.  What’s best for him?  I don’t know.  It’s a tough call, so if you believe in prayer, please toss one out there for us to make a good decision!  This is an interesting week in our lives…thank the good Lord for His peace through it all!
