    I'm showing signs of addiction. *deep breaths* Tomorrow morning is going to be the worst. I keep walking into my bathroom & looking at my scale longingly.

    I usually weigh just once a day, every morning at the same time. I might skip it if I've had a really bad or high sodium day (if I just don't want to see it) because I know that's not real weight . Having it just be part of my morning routine keeps me from getting nervous about weigh-ins. In the past when I've only weighed weekly, it has bothered me to the point of wanting to give up if I have felt like I had a good week and then ended up not losing much or even gaining. I was debating just not doing this challenge, but then I got to thinking that if the scale doesn't really matter that much, then what difference does it make if I just don't weigh for a week? I'll probably give it a try ... one week won't make or break anything because I'm NOT giving up. But next week I will go back to weighing every morning ... it works for me and keeps the scale in its place (not a big, looming thing to dread or be excited or nervous about once a week ... or to play games with my food intake a day before weigh-in, etc.)

    That's just my take on the scale issue ... :wink: I think it's a great challenge to help break a scale addiction!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Andrew, if you DO decide to glue the scale to your feet or hang from the supermarket scale, PLEASE post video! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Gotta get back to work ...

    Uh oh...

    I just had a 1300 calorie lunch. (Sorry guys!!! Mcdonalds got me.)

    Well, I either have no dinner (:laugh: yeah right)

    or I find some way to work out tonight.

    My back is feeling much better, but not 100 percent yet and I don't want to slow the healing at all so maybe I just won't eat dinner...

    ... We'll see.

    Rode my bike for 30 minutes, am really sore today, probably from all of yesterday's exercise, was going to go for a walk, but a hair appointment came open. So guess where I am going?

    Sarah, I have already wanted to look at the scale, like a dozen times. This is going to be hard.

    I asked hubs to hide it this morning and I have checked to see if it was gone and there it sits in the bathroom waiting for me to step on it! :noway: :grumble: :laugh:

    Oh Sam, it is in the 30s in FL? - that is so not right. I guess I will have to set my warm weather dream state a bit farther south..

    What's the weather like in Hawaii?

    I just spoke to an IT tech in Costa Rica - it was 75 there... oh, yea, and my computer works again...

    I think I have this challenge down, I have the flu and don't have the energy to eat or weigh myself. Normally this would be pure torture. Best of luck to all Black team members this week!
