Much Ado About Nothing?

Happily, but surprisingly, I got on the scale this morning to read 155.4.  I didn't believe it, so I moved the scale and got on and off it four more times, getting the exact same weight each time.  Is it really possible that my scale moved 5 pounds in one day?  I guess so -- my stomach had been a little wonky for the past few days and was finally feeling better...  I am sure that had some impact.  Also, I went to yoga on Monday and hit a spin class on Tuesday, which surely helped as well.

I'll see how it goes tomorrow -- I'm not convinced this morning's number is the true number, but I'll see if it holds another day.  

What I like about this experience (short though it's been) is that it tells me how much I've changed over the past six years.  Pre-band, that 6 pounds would have become 10 in a blink of an eye... then 20, then more.  But now, by getting on the scale most days, I can nip a gain in the bud, get on top of it, and avoid derailing years of good behavior.  Feeling good about that.

I'm not going back.
