I have a digital scale at home, and it is usually in pounds as that is what I weigh myself in. However; it does have the option of both pounds and kilograms. Lately, I have been all into the kilograms. I don't know why. Partly I think it is because pyschological it is easier for me to see the smaller number of the kilogram. Well this morning, I weigh myself (I have problem and weigh myself everyday). So I weigh myself, I weigh 61.7 kilograms. Sweet. I know that is around mid 130's, likely around 136/137. I decide to switch the setting on my scale and do pounds to find out the exact amount, instead of getting a calculator and multiplying it by 2.2. Switch the scale. And what is the number that is shown?!?!?!? 142 pounds. Huh? I get a calculator 61.7 * 2.2 = 135.7. I'm confused. Is my scale broken? What do I really weigh? Did I gain weight? Or lose weight? Now I realize it doesn't actually matter what my scale says, it only matters what the weight watchers scale says on Thursday evenings. But I just want to know! Annoying.
In other news. It is an absolute GORGEOUS day here! So I am going to go for a walk and go to the gym. I LOVE the autumn weather.

I tried switching to kg once just to get away from my mental blocks around some pound ranges. In kg, I didn't have a clue. ;-)
Maybe you should just stick to one or the other? It doesn't matter what it says, just matters if it's going down or up, right?
