I usually weigh myself four times a day. Sounds like a lot. I know some people say only weigh yourself once a week or once a day, but here's why I choose to step up four times a day:
#1: I weigh myself first thing in the morning, to see the "true" weight as some may say. Theory is, after your first urination in the morning, that number is your TRUE weight. I don't know if that is for sure, but I normally see a 1-2 pound difference from the night before.
#2: I weigh myself mid morning, because usually it's a pound or so lighter than my morning wake up weight.
#3: I weigh myself mid day, to see how I am doing with staying on track for the day. If I am already pigging out, the scale will show me in numbers.
#4: I weigh myself at night, to see how I ended the day to keep track of foods that may or may not have worked well for me. For example: maybe I ate a lot of sodium, I can numerically see the bloating on my body.
Now, something weird has been happening. I have been weighing myself at night, and in the morning I have actually been weighing MORE. Now keep in mind, I usually see a 1-2 pound "weight loss" over night. Basically over night I finish metabolizing my food, sweat and move around like a wild cat. So usually I see that I don't lose any additional weight on average, but I definitely am not use to GAINING weight. I am slightly annoyed and curious.
Curious, because I am not sure what the trigger has been.
ANNOYED, because it's no fun to wake up in the morning and face that stupid scale.
I am not a fan of this new trend occurring and hope that it is just needing a new battery.
because surely it's nothing I am doing, right?
Oh well.
The next three days, my husband and I are getting our hike on. We will be going to HaHa Tonka State Park today to hit the trails. Wednesday and Thursday, we will be heading to Elephant Rocks, Johnson's Shut ins Park, as well as Taum Sauk Mountain.
Expect pictures of our conquest to be posted soon.
Have a great week!
