Exercise over the last couple of days has been more of the same - time spent on the treadmill. I was busy all morning and afternoon, and it was early evening by the time I got to exercise today, so it was already dark and cold outside. I'm grateful again for the flexibility a treadmill at home is giving me, as I think today would have otherwise been a write-off.
I know I've lost some weight over the past six months - about a stone, I think - and hubby has been trying to lose some weight recently, too. Unfortunately, our old scales are hideously inaccurate and are always +/- half a stone, depending on how you stand on them/look at them/breathe near them. With this in mind, we've treated ourselves to some fancy digital ones. They match the bathroom(!), and their large digital readout tells your weight in stones, pounds or kilos.
I've never been terribly bothered by my actual weight - if my jeans fit, then all is good, but if the buttons won't do up, it's time to cut back on treats. That said, it's nearing time for my annual asthma check up, and the asthma nurse is far more concerned with my weight - and isn't slow in telling me when I need to lose a bit.
My first step on the new scales was a bit of a shock as I seemed to have put on twenty eight pounds overnight, but a quick recalibration gave a figure about seven pounds higher than the old scales. A bit disappointing, but not a huge surprise. It means that my BMI is about 24.5, which puts me in the 'normal' range - just.
I guess I could do with losing another 7-10lbs...or maybe I should just try growing 4 inches taller.
