Say What?????????????????

So for my birthday, my son got me this really cool bathroom scale. It has all the bells and whistles. It can estimate your %Body Fat, %Body Water, recommended calorie intake and how much methane is in the gas you pass. So I get it all programmed in with height, age, sex (I tried to answer yes but that wasn't an option, so I chose Alpha Male) and activity level. I get on it and WHAT?! It says I weigh 13 pounds more than my old scale!? I go back and forth a couple of times and that's the deal. Then Sweetpea tells me she had e-mailed Blondie and gotten the scoop on which scale to buy.......... SOOOOOO, now I know who to blame.

Actually, I knew that the old scale was weighing light and had been contemplating when I would switch to a new scale, I wanted to soften the psychological blow of the perceived set back. Well I have to fret no longer. I am encouraged though, I thought it was around 15 - 17 pounds light so 13 pounds doesn't seem as bad.

On the road again,
Alpha Male

PS: It registered 0% Methane, go figure?

    Now that was a good scale! Lousy Dr. visits but in the between time- yeeha! I think you better give it away fast before you and sweet pea get nostalgic for it!
