The Scale - Friend or Foe

When I first started, I would weigh in once a week.  I was excited to see the scale moving down.  However as weeks passed, I began to doubt myself and after one week of plateau, I began weighing in everyday.

What do you do?  Do you weigh in everyday or once a week?  My weigh in day is Sunday.  Is this good or bad?  That means I'm not goofing around with my points on Friday or Saturday because I know I'll be weighing in on Sunday.  Should I change my weigh in to Friday? Saturday morning? 

These questions are posted because I went out to eat, followed my points, but have very little shift downward.  Now, was it the salt?  The variation in what points figure for the restaurant and what actually happens on site?  I'm not sure.  I do know eating out is risky.  You can't guarantee what is actually happening in the kitchen.  So more oil or other fats may be added.  The portions may not be perfect.  I'm not really sure.

But, I do know that I have to watch it.  Refocus.  Remain motivated.  I'm in this for the long haul and I have to--HAVE TO--take my health seriously.
