My scale is back in the bathroom. It was banished for a couple weeks while we were trying to train our new kitten.
I had been really obsessed with the scale before it was taken out of the room. I'd weigh myself when I got up, after I dressed, before I peed, after I peed, before I drank/ate, after I drank/ate. It was ridiculous--and self-defeating. It was like I never even saw the weight come off because I was so busy watching the tiny ups and downs.
Now it's been back in the bathroom for a few days and I can already see myself falling back into that old routine. I think I weighed myself at least 4 times today! Did it do me any good? No, not really. (Okay, I did discover that I could fart out about .5 lbs in gas.)
I wish my scale was built into my treadmill. If I wanted to step on the scale, I'd have to put the treadmill down, turn it on and walk 30 minutes before the weight would measure.
Maybe I should just head to the treadmill when I want to weigh myself. I need to start exercising. I tell myself I don't do it because my leg feels like it's popping out of my hip and my sciatic nerve bothers me. But it's starting to sound more like an excuse. I see my PCP in a week and half and I know she's going to ask about my exercise routine. How wild would it be to not have to LIE about my level of activity?
