This is the one I call Toes Cat....well, because in the summer when I have on sandals or flips, he licks my toes! He's a neighbor's cat who is so gentle, so well-fed and groomed and he loves to come for a visit. He got caught in the rain this morning so stuck around awhile to figure out what might be going on.....in my head!
What was I thinking this morning when I responded to my sister's email question about what was going on with us. I gave her the usual 'nothing much' then decided that truthfully, there was a lot going on (in my head). I've been desperately trying to loose a pound without having to manage my calorie intake or having to exercise. So, here's my method:
- First rule is to do your #1 before weighing in.
- Second, goes without saying, don't weigh before doing your #2.
- It's okay to shower while waiting on #2, but don't weigh with your hair wet. If you've ever picked up a bucket of water, you know how much water can weigh.
- It's a wise choice to leave off deodorant.
- And by all means, skip the hand and body lotion, and very definitely body powder!
- Step on and off the scales very quickly....when the numbers change, they almost always go higher.
- I won't make that mistake again! Didn't get a thing done the rest of the morning. TeeHee ~
- Pull your blinds before you weigh.

Some wonderful advice, but now I need the best way to remove the coffee from the keyborad!
ReplyDelete(Obviously the coffee hasn't killed the keyboard, so I guess that is a plus!)
Marty, Marty... how entertaining you are today!! I might add to ALWAYS weigh BEFORE you start drinking your morning coffee... coffee weighs as much as water, and 2 cups = 1 pound!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I've tried some of those myself! ;)
ReplyDeleteMarty, I've been watching what I eat since last summer with the intention of eating less and dropping a NUMBER of pounds. I weigh myself probably seventeen times a day. No, that's not how I lost weight but it does take time, time I'm not hanging at the open refrig door.
ReplyDeleteI do know that morning is best time for me to weigh and fancystitching is right! ! ! ! ANY thing we drink weighs, and you're right on the money with the pre-weigh in routine.
Happy to say I've lost twenty percent of my total body weight in this past year. Sounds like a lot but honestly to me that thirty pounds makes a wonderful difference to me. Mentally, yes, but it does mean I am a might healthier.
Thanks for the great chuckle - I'll be reciting your guidelines every time I step on my scale.
hugs
