So, a couple of interesting things have happened since I was at the doctors and found out about my weight gain. Doug and I went to go see "Gone Baby Gone" on Sunday and it was quite good! There we're things that I didn't understand because the movie is pretty fast paced but I figured it all out after. You should definitely go see it and let me know what you think! But I digress. So, before the movie was about to start, I took one last bathroom break. As I entered the bathroom, I noticed a a digital scale that boasted "Exact Digital Weight and Lottery numbers" for 25 cents. LOL...I normally would be like "lame" but it was different this time. I needed more proof that I weighed what the nurse said I weighed. So I opened up my wallet, took out a quarter, put it into the slot and stepped on the scale. Soooooooooo..it said I weighed 135.5!!! Okay, so one of these scales is wrong!!
Then yesterday, as I was taking my "lunch" break, I had brilliant idea! Mochi recently went to the Vet for a little paw infection that he had. When Doug brought him home, he proudly announced that our little one was 10.5 pounds..more than he's ever weighed!! Mochi's weight is kind of a big deal around here because when we visit my parents, they are always asking "Are you feeding him?? Why is he soooo skinny?" I'm sorry mom and dad..but Mochi is just blessed with a fast metabolism..what can I do? So anyways, I digress again. Since I know that Mochi is 10.5 pounds, if I got on the scale at home while carrying him, I would know for sure if my scale is in fact wrong..or not. So, I weighed myself first and it read: 139.5 Not ideal but hey..I'll take it. Then I get on the scale with Mochi and it read: 150!! My scale is right then..RIGHT?? 139.5 +10.5 is 150!! So when Doug got home from work yesterday, I told him the great news! Then he said "you should tell the doctor's office." LOL....like I'm really going to call them and say "Just so you know, your scale is wrong! After you told me I weighed 146 lbs, I freaked out and did all these "weighing" tests and have proved that your scale is indeed wrong!"...uumm...I don't think so!
So after all that drama, do I still want to lose weight?? Yes I do! But now, the task doesn't seem as daunting. But I must admit that I was supposed to work out yesterday and totally flaked. I know..I know..but I WILL start..soon! I have one last wedding this weekend and then I have a little bit of a break. More updates to come!!

see missy, you freaked out for nothing! :)
luv, kal
those doctors scales aren't calibrated as often as they should be. A good test to do on your scale is to place a 5 or 10 lbs weight on it. You'll know if it's off then and be able to adjust it. I hate doctors scales!

Dork. You are a dork! Now you can drink coke. The real thing! Go have one to celebrate :)
lol. my other business is in the weighing industry, yeah... ultra fun. good advice from gaby. ALL scales need to be calibrated for accuracy regularly.
Trista, you are so funny! I wish my doctor would have told me the wrong weight just to make me happier, but that is never the case :( I am with you about hitting the gym and losing some weight. I woke up at 6am this morning to hit the gym! Hopefully, I will continue this for awhile. Wish me luck!
