Couldn’t leave well enough alone

I had contemplated not getting my new digital scale until I felt like I was back on track losing weight because I didn’t want to be too bummed out about how inaccurate my mom’s scale was. I just couldn’t resist, though, when I saw the scale at Target. It’s so high tech it even tells you how hydrated you are. I don’t know what any of that means yet, but who cares. It’s sleek and mostly glass, wheh-hew. I was very eager to no longer risk getting tetanus from the rust on my mom’s 20 year old scale.

I was so excited and happy. Until I saw… and realized my mom’s scale was off about five pounds! That blows. So I weighed in at 169!

To make myself feel better I keep saying it could have been worse. It really could have.

Right now I’m all dressed and ready to go to the gym. The bigger challenge is getting my daughter ready to go to Kids Central to be baby sat. She’s not into it and has no concept of the fact that I’m running out of time before I need to go to work. I’ve even given her pizza for breakfast to ensure that she would eat it in a timely manner. This is the first time she hasn’t scarffed it down in two seconds.

The stars never really align in my favor.
