Balance Basic Body Composition Scale

The calendar flips to 2021 and health resolutions abound. While I do believe in a year-long focus on health, I'm like plenty of others who slack from time to time during the year, notably from mid-November through December. Therefore, when I glanced down in my bathroom and thought of a recent attempt at capturing my goals for the year, I realized the perfect manual was staring back at me: my scale. Enjoy!
