2/365 - Resolutions
Man - I don't know what hit me but in the last month I've put on some serious weight. I have a scale in the bathroom that I use on occasion, but the other day I weighed myself and thought for sure the thing was broken. So needless to say, this means one of my New Year's Resolutions is to .... you guessed it .... lose some weight!
I guess it's pretty normal to gain some weight over the holidays, and it's even more normal for me to make resolutions that I don't end up keeping! But we'll see how it goes. Now the entire Flickr multi-verse knows exactly how much I weigh so there's some motivation to do something about it!
On a small side-note, since moving to the UK I've become accustomed to some new terms (as they say we're two countries divided by a common language). This scale is actually measuring kg's, but at the top you'll see "Stones" which is equivalent to 14 pounds. This comes from the units of measurement used throughout the Commonwealth in days gone-by. But it's still used pretty regularly, so if for some reason you're talking to a Brit and body weight is the topic, they'll say "I weigh 13 stone 4 pounds" and then leave it to your math skills to figure out what the heck they really weigh.....
