What is My Scale Trying to Tell Me?

Okay so we started this yesterday -- 3/1, right?! My meetings got cancelled, so I was working from home all day. I thought, "great! I can start the exercise thing today!" NOT --the day got away from me. I looked at my ski machine and I looked at my sneakers several times during the day and said to myself "you need to exercise - you have no excuse not too." Well apparently I don't need an excuse, I just didn't! UGH What I need is some dicipline! But here is the weird thing -- after a week or so of being just sort of so/so about the whole diet thing (because I knew I would get serious on 3/1) I got on the scale yesterday and I had lost 3 and 1/2 lbs -- without really trying! Wow! That's like winning the lottory without buying a ticket (and they said you had to play to win - HAH!)

So this morning I get on the scale and it is speaking arabic -- the first two characters looked sort of like "ba" and then the next two characters looked sort of like upside-down Fs. Hmm -- I haven't seen this one before. (And then it alarmed me that my scale had room for 4 characters! YOWSA!) So now I am hoping that my 3 and 1/2 lbs was not a battery malfunction -- I was feeling so good about it!

Okay - I am out of town tonight. I should be home by mid afternoon tomorrow -- I AM GOING FOR A WALK (I'm pretty sure of it!)
