HI!
I am taking Gareth (the 8 year old) to the dentist this morning. The toddler is actually happy to be up this morning. Finally. As much as I hate to admit this we really have to get used to this schedule.
Also I am no longer speaking to my scale. After working our hard all week it shows I gained a pound. jerk.
Are you on speaking terms with your scale?

TGIF!
I am off work today to try to get some more packing and errands done. I am running like a chicken with it's head cut off.
Muscle does weigh more than fat, so if you have been working out, you may be building muscle
I don't use a scale, I have a weight issue so if I weigh myself it starts a horrible cycle of weighing multiple times a day and not eating. I always suggest to stay away from the scale and go by how you feel and how your clothes fit you.
Muscle does weigh more than fat and also burns extra calories for the extra muscle you have!
I also have an issue with the scale. If I weight myself once, I become obsessive about weighing myself more than once a day, not healthy! So I just go by how much clothes fit and how I look in the mirror. That being said, I do think the scale is an asssshole.
I agree. I used to have issues with weighing myself obsessively, but finally got past them. I don't weigh myself more than once a week and go by how my clothes fit instead.
Muscle truly does weigh more than fat. Try to stay away from the scale. You don't want it to discourage you.
We cleaned up the cars yesterday and got parts ordered since they are having minor issues. I extended the pool since the ice cold water feels awesome on my back that's been horrible lately. We pick up my stuff at the tailor and are having a date night to see "The Ides of March." This looks like one that should be excellent.
I have no idea how to use our scale. When we were doing our registry, it was one Zach wanted that can calculate BMI and all that junk, so you can't just stand on it, you've gotta push a few buttons and it brings up all your stored info, THEN you stand on it. This is what I get for marrying a rocket scientist - I get a scale that's smarter than me. Mostly is sits on the floor, collecting dust and whatever toys (usually hair ties and rubber bands) the cat shoves under it.
I figure if my jeans fit, and the twins stay in their VS sling, I'm set. Shoot the scale if you like - might make you feel better.
