The fourth came and went… and now it’s weigh-in day again!
Week: -2.4
Total: -35.4
I’m a little “eh” about this scale victory. Mostly due to my scale. Or should I say, scales. We have his-and-her scales and being curious as I am, I have been weighing myself on both. Especially after last week, when I was almost 3 pounds lighter on the other scale- which I measured right after loading my weight on MFP. So this morning I weighed myself three times on each. The scale I normally use was .6 difference between the three… and all three were slightly higher than the weight I recorded. I used the weight I used though because all 3 times I got on it was exactly the same.
I do hope this is truly accurate, since I worked out a lot (for me) last week. I will have to keep up with that. I took the last few days off because I was sore from Sunday, but today I am back on the workout wagon!!!
Anyone have any issues with scales like this? It’s messing with my mind! A half pound on the scale here and there makes a huge difference, and I don’t like that I don’t feel like I can trust it. Sigh. Advice appreciated.
So… my Fourth of July! B had to work yesterday, while I was off for the holiday, so I was alone most of the day. Womp. I decided to paint my nails but wasn’t feeling anything in the patriotic family using the colors I had. I did find a color I haven’t used in YEARS though. It’s called essie Brick Oven, and I bought it in 2003 or 2004. Actually, I don’t remember buying it. Maybe my mom did? In any case I remember wearing it on my toes at my summer job in 2004, and realizing how well it went with everything. It goes with red. It compliments pinks. It’s like a great darker version of a neutral.
You can’t tell very well from the photo, but the bottle is just less than 1/3 full. It’s my most used-up bottle of nail polish, and the oldest one I own! It’s not on the essie website anymore, but I’ve found it for sale online in other places. I think I’ll have to purchase a new one at some point in the future, since this polish was a bit hard to work with due to it’s age- very thick and gummy.
It’s won’t be up until tomorrow, but as usual I will be linking this up with the Nail Files with Tara and Vicki!
What’s your oldest nail polish? Any old favorites you’ve revisited lately?
Try putting a few drops of nail polish remover in your gummy polish, shake it up. It should loosen up a bit. Love that color!
I cannot wait to try this!!!!!!
Eeks, yes about the scale thing. it is really driving me crazy, because I’m losing weight VERY slowly anyway, and it seems like every few times I step on my scale it appears like I have gained 1/2-1 lb overnight, when I know that is impossible!
I would take any scale victory I get. It does seem like it fluctuates so much from day to day, and I never know why! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love finding new bloggy friends! I noticed you used to live in Indianapolis – so did I! Great town!
I second the nail polish remover idea. I do that all the time because I hardly ever buy new nail polish. (Usually requires you not biting your nails.) :)
About the scale issue I would suggest sticking with your weight on one scale; focus on that. Every single scale is different and will give you a different number so if you’re consistent about what time you weigh, what you’re wearing (heavy sweats, jeans etc. vs thin clothes), and what scale you use, that should help with the consistency. Our weight fluctuates so much during the day so it’s really a good idea to weigh yourself around the same time of day.
The nail polish remover trick works wonders! I was going to suggest that! My absolute all time fave nail polish is OPI “Oh to be 25… again” Unfortunately its been discontinued, but I love it so so much!!
And about the scale- I no longer weigh myself. I used to, but then I got super obsessed with the scale and would weigh myself like 3 times a day and become psychotic about it. I have been thinking about trying to weigh myself again, but I fear the mental aspect of weighing myself.
I love this color!! So pretty!
Visiting from Nail Files!
