did you miss me?

No, I wasn't really gone any longer than usual. It was one of those weekends, though, when I didn't get much of a chance to post, and when I did have time I didn't feel like it.

I had a moderate-to-bad food weekend. I decided to make Saturday a free day after I crossed 35 points and showed no signs of stopping. I didn't get totally crazy, but I'm pretty sure I ended up somewhere around 50. But you know what? Sometimes you just gotta do that. Yesterday was better--29.5 points, due largely to a lot of fruit. I have rediscovered my love of the kiwi. Good thing they're a point each--if they were free, my kiwi addiction would get completely out of control.

I had every intention of biking this weekend, but I never made it. On Saturday I was too sleepy, and the house was too messy to be ignored. On Sunday, it was raining and I was at Rob's most of the day. I would have walked, but I didn't bring workout shoes (how conveeeeenient). We spent the night, so I couldn't even get out there this morning. I suppose I could have actually gotten out of bed and out the door by 5 am, and still had time to bike an hour....but I just don't do that.

Here's a moral dilemma, though. I can't decide which scale to use for my official weigh-ins. When I started losing weight, I didn't have a scale at my house. My initial weigh-in was at Rob's, and it was 217. A couple months later, I got a scale at my house, but it was crap, so I eventually traded up to the one that I have now. When I weigh throughout the week, I weigh on my scale. The last few weeks, I've been at Rob's on official weigh-in day, so I've been using his scale. This wouldn't be a problem, except that my scale consistently weighs me about 1 lb. heavier than Rob's scale.

So am I cheating by using that scale for my official weigh-ins, when I've used mine in the past? My starting weigh-in was on Rob's scale, and I imagine it weighed light then, also (a depressing thought). And does it really weigh light, or does my scale weigh heavy? I'm nearly always at his house on Tuesday nights, staying over till Wed. morning...so weighing in there is more convenient as well. It's messing up my progress charts, though, because I have a 1 lb dip on weigh-in day. Since no one sees the progress charts but me, this isn't really a big deal. *sigh* I don't know. I think I'm going to continue to use his scale, if for no other reason than that it had me down a pound this morning to 187. If it stays there till Wednesday (which I'm not entirely sure it will, since I had some bingeing issues on Saturday), I'll be officially 30 lbs down! That would kick much ass. So what do you guys think? Weigh-in on the daily scale, or on the original scale?

In other news...I am really digging the Old Navy pants. They're super comfortable, and they're flattering on me once I've worn them for an hour or so. They make me feel feminine, as opposed to my frumpy khakis. And best part--they come out of the dryer beautifully unwrinkled, with their crease intact (though I don't know if that will be true after multiple washes). I wish I had bought more than two pairs, even though I know that I'll be shrinking out of them in a month or so. They're already a little looser after a day of wear than I'd like. My only complaint is that they don't have front pockets...though with as fitted as they are on my hips, that's probably a good thing.

Aanyhoo, I have a departmental lunch meeting in about 5 minutes, which will involve much TX barbecue. I'm going to try to be good....promise.
