Strawberry Roan Checking In

Hello all, thought I would stop by and say hi ! Although I don't do NO S in particular any longer having lovingly embraced intermittent fasting, I have continued to read and follow this forum. As I have said for years, the most supportive group of posters I have ever "met".
Still doing well, eating pretty clean and loving, loving, loving my exercise.
Still work for a law firm but get to work from home the majority of the time so that has been wonderful !
Trying a little experiment this week. I have always (since a teen, I suppose - and I weighed 98 lbs but my friends were all dieting) weighed myself daily. Morning and night, if a scale was available. I started noticing lately that not only was the scale always within a pound or so, sometimes I didn't even register the number enough to remember it a minute or so later.
So, I have taken a one week reprieve from the scale. Which is harder than it sounds, I mean the scale is sitting right there on the bathroom floor - anxious to flash some red digital reading at me! I even had to put a book on it to remind myself not to step on it.
I am doing the experiment to see if
a. I will take better care of myself as I don't want to see a dramatic increase in the scale's reading when I step on later this week.
or
b. I will abandon all control as I am not weighing daily as I always felt that kept me honest.
Just having fun, I suppose. Never hurts to change things up a bit. My weight is at about 152 which is maybe a few pounds above what I call my "perfect weight" of 147 but seems to be the weight my body wants to be set at right now. I feel fine in my clothes and have upped the resistance training so have probably added more muscle mass than this time last year which would, of course, weigh more than fluffy fat!
Added a Total Gym to the exercise room last fall and really love it.
Hope this finds everybody doing well.
