Weight 

 Few years ago, I read and interview with professional body builder, on the subject of using weight scale to measure the progress.

He suggested that you should use photos of yourself in the same light, same condition to more accurately assess your progress.

Your weight is a reflection of sooo many variables. Many fail to realize the number on our scale affected by what you ate the night before, the day you are on in your cycle, hydration, inflammation, digestion, muscle soreness, last bowel movement, fat and muscle composition, time of the day, stress, medication you might be on, and sooo on. Those who let the number between their toes control their mood, efforts, and self-worth are fighting a battle they will never win. 

Use photos (taken once a month) to asses progress. I take a bunch, I put them in separate folders, and I pull them up to se what I am making realistic and manageable progress. How I look use to be my main measure of the health, I am much more wiser now, when I looked my best I was the most unhealthy.

I use a health assessment tracker now a days, I keep tracking my mood, skin, hair, mental clarity, hormones, sleep, flexibility, lack of join pain, headaches, fatigue recovery time, …. And how I feel over all. What we look like is only one teeny little fraction of what it means to be healthy. So before you idolize someone with the physique we want, remember a photo doesn’t really tell you what’s going on with their health. My mission is to redefine what it means to be healthy. 

And out of curiosity, how often do you weigh your self. How much does it impact how you feel?
