10 Days of Weigh-Ins

I want to start off by saying that I think weighing yourself everyday is just a bad idea. More or less I just think it's really bad your mental health.  Some people decide how good their day is going to be based on what the number on the scale reads- and I think that's not a healthy way to live.

However, with all that said, I decided to weigh myself everyday for the last 10 days. Also, it was 10 days ago that I started going back to the gym and trying to lose some weight. So everyday for the past 10 days, I have gone to the gym, workout, and weighed myself (always before my workout). Here's what the scale read:

Day 1 (Monday 5/28)

Day 2 (Tuesday 5/29)

Day 3 (Wednesday 5/30)

Day 4 (Thursday 5/30)

Day 5 (Friday 6/1)

Day 6 (Saturday 6/2)

Day 7 (Sunday 6/3)

Day 8 (Monday 6/4)

Day 9 (Tuesday 6/5)

Day 10 (Wednesday 6/6)

The time of day I went to the gym varied, just like my weight. My lowest weigh-in is done early in the morning but most day I can't get to the gym until after work. 

I did this experiment to prove a point- you shouldn't put to much "weight" on what the scale says. You really shouldn't let it make or break your day. It is just a number.

Do I wish that after 10 days of working out that I would see the scale go down? Sure- that would have been nice. However considering heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes runs in my family- I know even though the scale didn't move, I know I'm doing something good for myself.
