You're killing me scale.

Went back to work today, and it wasn't so bad. Despite the fact that I started my shake a bit late today, and made the mistake of taking my vitamins without food. I took them around 10:00 when I got there, and I usually eat them with a protein bar. Well, we were pretty busy up until around noon; that's when the nausea began. Ugh--by that time I was ready to hurl. I quick ran out into the office and scarfed down a bite of the bar. Wish it was enough to work, but I stayed nauseous most of my shift. Oh and my ice melted too, bummer. I always make my shakes with ice, goes down easier.

Fine. I know I'm not supposed to be weighing myself at home, but I do. So freaking sue me! The problem I'm having, is getting an accurate weigh. We have two scales at home. One that sits in our bathroom, and one that is in the foyer. I know weird, but the foyer has a pretty flat surface--so I thought. My scales are never in the same range as the other. Both are digital. The one in the bathroom is 4lbs light, and the one in the foyer seems to be in the same range as the doctor's office. Here's the problem. Lately I've been weighing myself on my usual foyer scale, and the numbers are coming up different EVERY TIME I GET ON. I have this OCD rule; if I weigh the same number 3x consecutively on the scale, then it should be accurate. I hop on and off 3x, each time letting the scale zero out.

Unless the foundation shifted in my house, I'm pretty sure something is wrong. Tonight when I got home from work I tinkered with the scales a bit. I made my dad help me. He knows his exact weight. He weighed himself on both scales and they were BOTH off. We ended up putting the foyer scale in the bathroom. When he hopped on, his weight was exactly accurate. Guess I'll be ditching the other scale, not like I really went by it anyway. 

I bought the "foyer scale" at Wal-Mart a few years ago. I know what you're thinking, I totally cheated on Target. It was a late night purchase though, and I really needed it. Then this see through glass one appeared out of nowhere. My mom had bought a Weight Watchers scale. Not knocking on the brand, but it's totally inaccurate. Or at least I'm pretty sure it is. The big test is to see how the scales compare to Dr. Cusimano's. I know her's is calibrated and accurate, so at least tomorrow I'll get an idea of where my home scale stands.
