The scale is too old to sync to our new internet connection. The company even says that software won't be updated on these 'older' models. Grrr.
A change is as good as a rest, says Lynda's mom. Well, I am forced into change. I can still stand on the scale and get a number; but I have no way to check the battery level or review a record so neatly compiled by the software for me.
So I deleted the software. And the worry over the recordkeeping. That was a weight off! I record-keep all day; sometimes too much is just too much. I also started to eat 'no sugar' again. Sometimes anger can be a good motivator. Mad at the scale? I'll show it! I don't need its stupid self to lose weight!
I released a LOT of water the first couple of days. My theory is that sugar retains more water than salt. And, lo and behold, my blood pressure decreased. Hmmm.
This morning I felt like the wind had been taken out of my sails. Oh, yes, we are past the peak of the full moon; and sometimes I feel like I can 'feel' when it's over. Do any of you "feel" the moon?
DD's partner's mom's funeral has been set for Monday. We'll travel up this weekend and back on Tuesday. I am so grateful to DD's coworkers who covered in her absence these last two days. Her young man needed her there. The go fund me has been doing well, although I think they underestimated the costs of the end of life in the U.S. I can immediately think of 3 people who could not afford a cemetery plot and were cremated. It still cost their survivors in the thousands of dollars.
Sorry if this blog is too much of a downer. Thanks for letting me get it out of my system!
Sometimes the best thing you can do is write it all down so that you can move ahead again. Huge hugs!

ReplyDeleteI can relate to things sometimes being sub-optimal.
You’re right about the body scale, BTW. It’s more of a convenient confirmation of healthy decisions, than anything else. I think my *food* scale and nutrition tracker are a lot more important in the scheme of things, at least for me... If I don’t remember to step in the scale before breakfast, I just skip it and weigh tomorrow. No harm done. But if I don’t track my food for a day or two, then I usually am headed for a real gain.
Speak freely. That's why we check in.
ReplyDeleteThe scale is only a tool. So is the software. You are the wielder of the tools. Buy new ones.
Hugs! I think you need a sister walk! See you in a couple of hours!
ReplyDeleteHugs.
ReplyDeleteDang electrons! I feel the moon vibes too.
