One month ago, for the first time in my entire life I bought a scale. I had been using a scale at a friends house to monitor my weight so I never was able to weigh myself at the same time each day. So finally I decided that with my new firm commitment to working out I needed to be track my own losses. So I went to target and bought one, it wasn't fancy, but it wasn't that cheap either.
So I went home and jumped on it and it read 259.
I knew I had gained some weight but I hadn't thought it was that much. Then a week later I tried again. 267.
I couldn't believe it...could I have really gained that much weight in such a short time?
But it was motivating, I upped my exercise and dropped the cookie dough stash and really started to feel good about my life. Then came my victory...
I was at my friends house again last night, and after a celebratory glass of wine and a huge meal (unhealthy of course
) at Ruby Tuesdays, I got back on the scale I had been using earlier in the year.
248.
So I'm still happy, still motivated, but man does my weight make a lot more sense now that I know that my scale is off by 19 lbs....
oh yeah...and now I'm in the market for a better scale.
