In Fine Form

This past Saturday morning, I tentatively stepped on my scale.

Adam and I had gone out the night before. We went to a restaurant called Ember's. I ordered a fun, fizzy cocktail, and we split an order of spring rolls for an appetizer. Adam had a steak, and I devoured the most amazing burger with a side of duck fat fries and aioli.

Obviously I wasn't looking forward to my weigh-in that following day. Even though we had followed dinner with a trip to Half Price Books—which always includes me practically sprinting down every aisle in glee—I figured the scale wouldn't be too pleasing.

I closed my eyes. Opened them. Closed them once more. And then finally, I looked down.

"What? No way," I said, seeing a beautiful, low number on the scale. "That can't be right."

I stepped off the scale and back on again.

The same number appeared.

I picked the scale up, released the batteries and blew some dust out of its insides.

And yet? The same number.

I am now down 12.5 pounds!

And I could not be prouder.
