self-improvement: January 2003 Archives

Someone bought me a scale for Christmas. I dunno if this was supposed to be a hint. But if so, it backfired.

I was surprised 6 months ago to find out I hadn't changed weight since college. And when I was given the scale last month, I immediately checked again, and even in full clothing, I was in my college range.

This morning, I locked the doors, barred the windows, drew the shades, cover the picture of Jesus, unplugged the TV, activated the white noise generator, and weighed myself in the buff, to get a true measure of my weight.

178.5 lbs.*

so nyah!

(*When you you stand 6'3", this weight is not as bad as it sounds, thank you. Last time I checked, the ideal weight charts at that height gave a range of 175 through 195 lbs.)
