... and stepped on the bathroom scales this morning for the first time in 6 months.

What a relief! ๐Ÿ™‚

The battery had run out.

Must buy a new one within the next 6 months. ๐Ÿ˜‡

Haha. Maybe itโ€™s a sign to focus on non-scale wins?

Perhaps don't bother. You know if you've gained or lost weight - scales make us a slave to stats rather than how we feel or look, or how tight or loose pur clothes are! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Very true. I know Iโ€™ve put on weight. Just being in France is calorific. The question for me was simply, how much weight. Am I carrying one bag of spuds too much, or two? All my times are 5-10% slower than this time last year. I know that my legs are much stronger.

My one bag of spuds too much has slows me down about the same amount

It stands to reason. If youโ€™re running through an airport to catch a plane, a bag weighing 5 kg isnโ€™t going to help.

Yes, a week. I celebrated a bit much when I thought USA election finally decided. A bit precipitous as well!! ๐Ÿค”
