Forty by Forty update

Most of what I posted yesterday was actually written on Monday. On Tuesday morning, we I got up for the official weigh, the scale stopped cooperating. For one thing it said I was at least three pounds heavier than I was on Monday morning, and for another, it couldn’t give me the same answer twice.
Sandi had the same problem when she weighed in– she was 2 pounds heavier than the day before, which we knew couldn’t be true.
So we decided to replace the scale. True to the spirit of our goal, we decided to walk to the local Bed, Bath and Beyond to buy the replacement. Round trip, the walk is 8 miles, so it was good for our diet!
The net result is that since I’ve changed scales, the original start weight I listed the other day is no longer valid. I weighed in this morning with the new scale and it said I was 266.8.
So my new forty by forty goal weight is 226.8.
I have 149 days to get there.
