I thought I’d check the precision on my scale and determine whether there was likely to be any significant difference based on when I check things. The current data:

  • 184.0; 16.5% (before shower)
  • 184.0; 16.5% (after shower)

I guess I can stop worrying about it. Any error in either piece seems to be likely swallowed up by the other so it’s just not worth the effort (practical not persnickety).

185.5

19%

Pizza yesterday and well-hydrated last night and this morning. This sort of swing would probably drive me nuts if I had some weight pathology, but thank goodness I don’t. It’s about 2%, and I’m guessing my $19 scale is not really ASTM or ISO-anything certified. 2% I can live with.

181.5
18%

Notes: this was following a morning 5k race, so I might have been a little under-hydrated and had only eaten an apple by that time in the morning. 5K race report coming soon.

Ate a bunch of pizza from late-morning on and not much else (plenty of seltzer, though) and I’m sure a bag of popcorn as the requisite evening snack.

(This >5% swing from yesterday is the reason I was wondering about the precision of the scale I have.)

Breakfast today: poppy seed bagel with scrambled eggs & bacon; poppy seed bagel with cream cheese.

I don’t think I’ve eaten dinner (it’s about 2340 already), but I had some popcorn. (Can you tell I’m a big fan of popcorn?)

I’m thinking about a ham sandwich now. (Update: didn’t happen.)

What do you think I should be eating instead? (I have some hummus in the fridge and some raw vegetables I could chop up to bring to the office Thursday.)
