I "check in" on my Wii every day. (Side note: yes, I know the conventional wisdom says not to weigh every day. I have found that it works for me, and it actually doesn't bother me all that much that there are little fluctuations, as long as the general trend is downward. The Wii does a good job of showing the general trend on a nice little graph. Since my actual goal isn't weight loss, I'm not obsessive about the number anyway. Plus, I have recently come to a place where I respect and honor myself enough to do things the way I've discovered they work for me, regardless of what conventional wisdom says. Okay, end (rather lengthy) side note.)
So sometimes my weight will be a bit higher on a given day than it was on the previous day. Some of the times (but not every time) that this happens, the Wii fit "trainer" will ask me to consider the possible cause of the gain. It gives me a multiple choice list.
My problem is that the three choices I have legitimately thought were the reason aren't on the list of options:
- I'm gaining muscle mass
- I'm weighing in at a different time of day (rare, because most days I weigh around the same time - first thing in the morning)
- I'm a girl and it's that time of the month!
Someone really should update that list.
