Yes it's Monday. Yes I'm finally posting about my weigh-in last Wednesday. But I have good reason for being late: I doubted the accuracy of my scale and had to figure out how to test it. The solution presented itself over the weekend, as I started my Christmas baking and a key part of baking is flour. So while shopping for ingredients I picked up an 11 lb bag of flour - which turned out to be the perfect thing to test my scale, as I know exactly how much it weighs.
Boo-yah!
I had convinced myself my scale was off and felt rather smug when putting the bag of flour on said scale. And the reading?
11 pounds. Which is how much the bag of flour weighs. Which means my scale works just fine. Which means my weight is what it say it is. Which is rather shitty.
So...the weigh-in:
Last week: 196.4 lb
This week: 196.4 lb
Okay, no change is better than gaining. I'll go with that. Still, I'd like to get that last 6.4 lb off before January 1. (Actually, I'd like to get 6.5 lb off so the scale reads less than 190 lb. Yup, I'm so splitting hairs on this.)
So there you have it. My scale works, my weight isn't dropping (but also not climbing) and I baked all weekend. Though I did learn something while baking: if you ever want to know how bad a dessert is, just make it from scratch. I'm looking at you, pecan pie with 1 cup of corn syrup.
