Rocket Surgery 4 Dummies-Griff's Musings

Good morning everybody.

It's finally Friday -whooo hoooo!!!

It's going to be a busy day but who cares, I can smell the weekend!

I have a lunch meeting with the boss so I'll have to try and eat as healthy as I can, we'll see.

I’m still frustrated with my scales! Mom bought a new one and it’s weird too. I thought I had it figured out but it changed. I stepped on the new one this morning and it said 223.2..cool. Then I tried my old one and it said 224.2. I tried both of them 3 times and it was the same. So I told Mom that I had the new scale figured out (how to zero it to get an accurate reading) and went to show her. The new scale then said 224.2 and my old scale said 223.8. Again I tried it several times and they stayed at those readings. So I am going with 223.8 based on my old scale for now. I want a scale that I can get on 10 times in a row and get the same reading 10 times in a row. Not that I want to weigh myself 10 times every time, I just want to be able to trust the reading the first time.

What scales do you use?

Have a great day everybody.

Griff a scale doesnt always say the same thing 10 times in a row...my doesnt - what i do is step on and step on it until I get hte smae figure three times and hten use that one...

I have a weight watchers one just the basic - here I think it was like 40.00 it killed me to pay 40.00 for a scale however I love it - it is extremely accurate and weights in the oz which my other scale didnt do...

But I think that it should!!! My weight doesn't change in the few seconds it takes to get off and back on the scale like some kind of obsessive-compulsive. I think mine is a WW too, I bought it when I started this journey. The new one is made by Taylor I think.

I am on a quest for the holy scale! lol

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.<-------ha ha ha

As far as rep ha ha ha - I dont get that but I get the you need to spread more around first before you give it to so and so again...I guess I have some favorites:rolleyes: LOL
 
Good Morning Griff,

I love Fridays!

Scales on the other hand they just piss me off. I was trying to find the perfect scale so I went to a store where they had sample scales... i took 6 or so they had from one brand put them all on the same floor and between them all my weight fluctuated a total of 15 pounds. It was really really frustrating:rolleyes:

I am currently using a sharper image scale... it was 50% off so it came out to 25 dollars.

The apartments next door (they're houses with apartments in them) have a doctor's scale on their porch... I'm tempted to go over there and use it but I'd thought they'd think it was weird if I showed up there every couple weeks hoping on their scale:rolleyes:

I hope your having a happy Friday!

Just do it. If they say anything tell them you are the city scale inspector and ask to see their scale permit:)
 
:) Just checkin in to se how your evening is going :) and how your day went :) Im supposta go out tonight but Im skippin it to get some much needed house work done nad to have some comp time :) I can stay up late tonight - yippee tomororw is saturday althought saturdays are usually my busiest days...
 
Thanks for stopping by Cinderelly. I had a pretty good day and this evening is going well...just busy.

I had lunch with the boss today (gotta love a 2 hour lunch that the boss pays for:) ) and I did OK with my eating choices. I had salmon, braised spinach, green beans, and a corn bread muffin and small sourdough roll. I checked it out on fitday and it looks like about 900 calories.

I gotta say the hour between 4:00 and 5:00 this afternoon went by soooooo sloooooooow. I finally got out of there and started my weekend. I usually work a half day on Saturdays but not this week since I got to get everything ready for my daughter's birthday party. I am going to hit the gym in the morning too and spend some calories.

I made it to the gym after work and decided to make it a cardio only day today and lift weights tomorrow. I rode 27 miles on the bike in 75 minutes. I held a respectable 22 mph average and threw in a 28 - 30 mph sprint for 1 minute every 9 minutes. I kicked my own ass!!!! Burned about 750 calories according to the machine.

I gotta figure out what I'm going to do about the birthday cake and ice cream tomorrow:eek: I may tape my mouth shut:)

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Go burn some calories!
