Strange Happenings

There were some strange happenings last week with my weight. When I weighed in on Wednesday I was 9.10 which was a gain of 2 pounds – I didn’t worry about it too much as my weight/scales can act up like that some times. Then I weighed myself on Sunday and the scale said 9.13!

Well, I initially freaked out but then I thought about and realised there was no way I had gained 5 pounds. I have not gained 5 pounds at any point throughout this entire weight loss journey and although I had not been working out due to being sick I had been eating very well so it was just not feasible.

Sure enough I weighed in last night and my weight was back down to 9.9, still a 1 pound gain which is not good news – but much more acceptable than a 5 pound gain.

I don’t know if my scales were broken or if I was somehow retaining water, but I am glad it was just a glitch

I have no idea…

…how much I weigh right now. My scales seem to be on the blink, I only bought them at the end of last year I think.

I step on and they say one thing, step on again the same, step on again and they say 2lbs less, step on again and they are back up, step on again and I have gained 3lbs etc.

I have changed the batteries to see if that was the issue buy apparently not.

Last reading was 10.7, which would mean I lost 3lbs while I was away so I am pretty sure that is not accurate — given how naughty I was I would expect to gain 3lbs rather than lose it.

I am going to send them back, but for a scale obsessive such as myself this is very annoying.

Didn’t gain after all!

So apparently I didn’t gain weight after all, I lost weight. Hurrah.

Well, sort of hurrah.

I ‘gained’ 1 pound on Sundays weigh in, but today I ‘lost’ 2 pounds…so overall it’s a 1 pound loss.

The thing is though I can’t count it, because it’s still more than the old scales. I have gotten myself into a right old pickle here haven’t I? I just can’t wait until my new scales say 11.6 and then I can start counting the losses again. I have literally only lost 2 pounds since I have had them any way, but that in addition to not being able to log it makes me feel like I have done nothing for months!

Gotta keep plodding on, gotta keep plodding on.

Going on a short trip in December!

Woo, I just found out my fiance has booked us a night away in York the week before Christmas, we’re going to go shopping. Isn’t he lovely? Ok so it’s not a nice exotic getaway to somewhere like Mexico, it’ll be cold, wet and miserable in York in December no doubt, but it’s a cheap and cheeful short break and it’ll make me happy

If we do ever get to go somewhere more exotic like Mexico, then SeaSideMexico.com is going to be a site I remember to visit — they are a travel company with some stunning looking properties available to reserve in Rocky Point, including Baja California, San Carlos and Puerto Penasco reservations. So if you are planning a trip away, check them out
