Okay. So we just got back from a great family vacation. Pretty much ate anything we wanted without so much as a second thought. Enjoyed plenty of take-out and tried lots of new restaurants.
Back home. Back to reality.
Hubby and I have decided to try and get back in shape, or something close to it. The scales in our bathroom have never been extremely reliable so when I was out yesterday I picked up a nice new pretty one. I am a Modern Mom and I like to shop.
Read through the directions, (Yes, directions for a bathroom scale...I know I'm blonde, but I know how to stand on a scale) and stripped down.
New scales say WHAT??
It's worse then I thought. Old Unreliable had me a good 5 pounds lighter. Did you know that finding out you are 5 pounds heavier can change your mood for the entire day?
Should have stayed with old unreliable. Knowledge is not always power.

Oh, it's TOTALLY the new scale. Yep. That's it. Are you SURE you calibrated it right? Try again. I'll wait................. ok?
Any better?
well...you have a starting point!!!! Good Luck!
Must be the new scale. Couldn't be the chips and dip, Popcorn, Corona or ice cream? LOL
MMMM Or maybe it just wasn't sitting flat on the floor? Maybe I'll go try again. If I exhale as I stand there would that help?
There could be worse things...try to remember that. (I can't, but I want you to!)
Vacation messes up all of us...you will get back to normal soon. Back to the housework, kids, etc...you know, the drudgery. :0
We don't own a scale...need I say more?
Thanks for stopping by!
It's definitely the scale's fault. Have the kids jump on it until it gets stuck at the number you like. :)
I always make sure that I go pee first, you know, just to make sure that an extra lb gets out before I weigh in. I'm kind of a weirdo though. When I get really obsessed I will weigh myself two to three times a day just to see if changes throughout the day.
I know- obsessive compulsive much?
Scales are banned in our house!
Stupid as it is ... the more the scale says I weigh, the more prone I am to eat more. Dumb Dumb Dumb. I need to console my fat ass, though.
I would have stuck with the old scale, obviously it has been around longer and cares more about your feelings.
LOL!
Scales are evil!:-)
