Scale Shenanigans
Ugh. So frustrating. I bought a new digital scale to replace the old dial one that I had--easier to read, less guessing if the needle was on the 3 hash mark or the 4, etc. I got on my new scale for weigh-in day, and was astonished to see that I had gained 8 lbs from the day before. I knew that was highly unlikely, so I checked my old scale. Yep, I was down a pound from the previous day on that one. As it turns out, my old scale was off by almost 10 pounds--underweighing.
It isn't the biggest deal, and I am down 11 pounds in two weeks (according to the new scale), but it was just one of those "could have done without that" moments. I feel, despite losing 11 pounds, I'm right where I started. I know I shouldn't focus on the numbers--I've made definite progress in lifestyle changes and am eating far better and exercising and these are all good things, but there is power in that number on the scale and it's a little disheartening. Well, off to adjust my ticker. Boo.
