I celebrated my birthday the first part of February and was blessed because both our sons were able to join us for an early birthday celebration. After enjoying breakfast together, my husband presented a box for me to open. Almost immediately, I could sense nervousness and almost ‘back-pedaling’ on behalf of both my boys. They even said things like, “We were surprised that this is what dad bought for you.” Needless to say, my interest was peaked.
Upon opening the box, I knew exactly why my boys were so uneasy about the gift selection, and I kind of smiled a little inside because I knew we had raised them well. They certainly understood that it generally would not be wise to buy your wife a bathroom scale for her birthday, even if it was an electronic scale with bells and whistles. Of course, what they didn’t know was that I told my husband earlier in the year that I’d like to purchase an Omron Full Body Sensing Scale in the near future.
It’s a bit early for me to share a full opinion about this scale, but I can tell you, it uses a hand to foot technology which is supposed to be more accurate than just taking measurements through your feet. It measures 7 fitness indicators including body fat, visceral fat, BMI, skeletal muscle, resting metabolism, body age and body weight. I’m certainly a person drawn to data, and while I may find the data this health monitor provides is overkill, at this point I’m enjoying tracking the numbers.
Whether you use your bathroom scale, the size of your clothes, your overall energy level, or other health indicators, I would suggest you need some way of tracking your progress. After, all if you have no way of measuring progress, how do you know you are moving in the direction you desire?
Pretty cool scale. I’d take it haha.
