A Smaller Target: New Scale

Categories

Weight: 165.8

Yesterday I went thrifting with Lisa Freemont (my backpacking buddy). We hit a couple Out of the Closets (where Lisa found me a cool pumpkin colored cord jacket) and St. Vincent's before going to Pho 79 in Chinatown. It had been a long time since I'd had that lovely soup. Too long.

Meanwhile, Paul had gone off shopping / picking up my synthroid at Costco. He brought me back a couple of things: my drugs, PowerCrunch bars and... drumroll and note that it's Saturday and yet my weight is posted.

Yes! I have a new scale. It was a surprise kinda -- I thought he was getting me a simpler, less expensive one that we had a coupon for. This thing is super cool. It measures body fat and hydration levels, lets you set goal weights and even keeps a memory of the last (not sure how many) weigh-ins.

The scale is by Health-o-Meter and is called the "Professional Body Fat Monitoring Scale." I think it must be their newest model because I couldn't find an on-line picture -- the one there isn't the right model number and looks nothing like it. The model I have isn't even listed on their website. It's very sleek and was a great deal -- $29.99 at Costco, which was only $10 more than the most basic digital scale I thought he was going to get me. I'll take a picture when I get a chance.

After spending some time reading the directions last night and programming WAY more information in then one would think a scale needed --including date and time-- I finally stepped on to find that I weighed 165.8, which sounded about right.

Anyway, I'm going to be keeping track of body fat % and hydration, though I'm also going to try not to make myself too nuts about it.

Weighing can get compulsive. Or so says the Scale 'Ho.
