    @Avidkeo ooohhhh! Did you finally get that watch? I dont remember if strava was different or not, its been forever ago.

    It got held up by customs for a week, then 2 days ago they informed me they wanted me to pay $170 (around $85 USD) in duty to have it released. A couple of emails later they released it free of charge and its now finally in transit to me, probably have it Monday. I cant wait to use it! The watch this morning I used is an old Garmin forerunner 15 that a friend lent me until yours comes in (I was fuming about customs), though that one is on its last legs with cracks in the strap. I don't want to use it too much on case it breaks. Its a great watch but would drive me bananas long term, having to connect it up to a PC all the time.

    Runners are so incredibly generous, seriously!

    Wow! Guess next time i need to send something that-a-way, i should just hire a mule! Haha!

    I was thinking the other day, yup on a run.... @Avidkeo reads my posts (and everyone's) with a New Zealand accent. And @Orphia with an Australian accent and @kgirlhart was it? In England? Hilarious, since all yall talk like okies or Texans to me.

    G'day mate... Cheerio, pip pip, and _________? Haha! How sophisticated i sound now! Oh "eh?" (For the Canadians). Eh. Poutine eh.uhhh gravy?

    Yeah I'm floored how long its taken. heck it took 5 days to go from Chicago to Auckland. Either someone lost it, or they put it on a boat haha. Then customs, who usually clears things fast, took about 5 days as well.

    And yep I always read things with a kiwi accent, except when people say Mom. lol

    How can i weigh xx0.6 before bed, and wake up at xx2.6? Magicness in bodily functions.

    Oh i got stronger! Haha!

    Is it Friday yet?

    Definitely got stronger. Fat converted into muscle that is why you weigh more.

    Yeah magic reverse pee. You should sell it to NASA, they could use it as inverse gravity ballast.

    I know "they" say not to weigh more than once a day, but if you're capable of not obsessing it can be really good info. For example I can tell if I'm about to have a lupus flare if I retain a larger than usual amount of weight overnight. My overnight drop reliably goes down before any other symptoms, giving me a chance to jump in with my meds and avoid the flare.

    Or in your case, you can tell your scale is inaccurate within three pounds, which is also good to know. Almost all home scales due to the way they're made cannot be accurate within about 1%. But they also have a built in memory that conceals the inaccuracy by giving you a reading the same as the most recent one if it's within a pound or two, and then resets after a certain amount of time. You can usually force this kind of scale to give a new reading by picking up a heavy object and weighing yourself, then taking your weight again. It's a good idea to do this at least once to get an idea of the range of variation - for example I know my scale varies about three quarters of a pound from moment to moment. So any weight loss or gain within that range may be purely the scale messing about.
