First, and most importantly, my mom is reading my blog! Mom, next time click that comment button and say what's on your mind. You don't have to hold back. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and that's about to become my official weigh in day, unless I have a setback and have to hold off the weigh in until I hit calmer waters, or just forget. But, when you own a powerful new scale like mine, you can't help weighing in 7 or 8 times before you leave in the morning. Scales should be more accurate so that they can detect the weight lost through elimination. A before weight and an after one. In fact, there should be an incredulity button on a scale so that when you do something remarkable like lose a pound in five minutes it says, "Can you believe it? Check it out!"
There should also be an empathy button for those times when its numbers come in higher than they should. Hit it and it says, "Oh, man, sorry! Come back in the morning, and I'll have better numbers for you. I must be tired or something."
Anyway, I'm taking an old friend's advice and walking off a few calories today, but I have to go to LL Bean to get a cool pedometer. I bet I just coined the phrase cool pedometer, so I copyright that. Maybe I'll fasten it to my belt and check it every few minutes to see how far I've walked, how many steps, how many calories burned. I could turn into my dad who's walked for exercise for years, logging steps and miles. He has years of calendars that detail his accomplishments. Sounds like a job for LL Bean--just nerdy enough not to laugh at me when I ask if they carry cool pedometers.
I'll let you know how the weigh in works out in the next day or so.
