76.5Kg

That is what the scales showed this morning. I'm not totally overawed by this, yesterday evening it showed 74.5kg (about 5 lbs difference) and as Tracy's blog well shows, digital scales can be your best friend one minute and worst nightmare the next, let alone 12 hrs after.  Still I thin 76.5kg is a realistic figure.  I got it this morning on the scales, so I'm putting that as the graph spikes up like never before.  But hey, it's 9:41 and already 2 glasses of water in, lol.

Yesterday's party was very good.  We enjoyed it.  The Euro conversion has now happened.  At 2:30am, David and I were withdrawing our own first ATM Euro!!!! It was freezing cold but we wanted to do it.  What was really funny was our Prime Minister going to the put-for-the-occasion mobile ATM of one of the leading banks to withdraw the first Euro on the island and the machine bailed on him not just once but TWICE giving him a technical error live on TV with photographers from Malta and Europe waiting to flash in.  What a blunder!!!!   Don't these things get checked that they work before the live event?  We had people from the rival bank with us - it was funny and humiliating of course but let's go with funny.  Then they whisked him, the Central Bank guy and a couple of other VIPs to withdraw money on TV from a regular ATM. It is a case of Only In Malta, or maybe not.

Big family lunch here - fried rabbit or rabbit stew. I go for the fried version cause I love it.  I will not eat bread and will not eat dessert so my commandments will be safe but the rabbit will go deliciously down.  I know most ofyou look at rabbit as pets but they are a national dish here. Did I mention they are delicious?

Hope you all are having a great start to the New Year.  May it bring you and your families joy and good health which pretty much amounts to happiness.

But....

You can feel good about the decisions you made yesterday to lose weight.  So, the scale is up some?  That's okay because you're doing something about it! 

That's funny about the ATM.  Yes, I can see a bit humiliating as well.  But funny, nonetheless.

Happy New Year!

As usual your posts teach us stuff..

Thank you for showing not only MY scale is psycho.

I tell ya, it bothers me less when MY scale does that but bothers me more when I see someone post on here that the scale showed a "gain" and then they want to cry, or binge, or give up, etc. And I want to scream, "NOOOO!"  It's the scale!  It's water weight! It's normal fluctuation.  Who knows. But its NOT a sign to give up!

Where I'm from (northern US) people aren't much for eating rabbit, squirrel, etc.  But where I live now (Southern US), they do!  I had rabbit once almost 20 years ago, and yeah I couldn't finish it because of the "pet" factor.  Heck I can't even eat deer meat!   I swear, if I saw cows on a daily basis, I wouldn't eat hamburger either.  LOL

Regarding the ATM, some technician probably got an earfull!  But hey, maybe the people in charge of defective ATMs are the same ones who calibrate digital scales!  LOL

Hey

i don't think I could eat rabbit but only because I had one as a pet.  lol.  her name was "flopsy".  I don't mind eating deer meat though.  It's very lean. 

That is crazy about the ATM thing.  I think I would be so embarrassed!  Happy new year to you!
