Your Favorite Workout Music
While I usually put my iPod on shuffle, I find that The Black-eyed Peas and Breaking Benjamin are a couple of my favorites to workout to! Oh, and Timbaland is always a good bet.

When is the best time to weigh myself?
It is really common to retain water during a workout (even if your workout is doing housework!)... so naturally, you'll weigh more right after. I weigh myself first thing in the morning since water weight doesn't factor in as much. In the evening, I almost always weigh a couple pounds more than I do the following morning.

I'm Dying to weigh in!!
@weirdangel - I agree, it's more about how you feel than what the scale says. To be honest, I *feel* skinnier these last couple of days which has pushed me to go to the gym more and eat better. I'm glad I haven't let the scale consume me and ruin my optimism. Smile

That being said, I think we all need a reality check, whether it be once a week, twice a week, once every two weeks, etc. Do you workout at a gym? If so, weigh yourself there instead of getting your own scale. If you get your own scale and don't want to weigh every day, maybe store it in an inconvenient place so that you're not tempted to weigh yourself all the time.... just take it out on your weigh-in days.

I'm Dying to weigh in!!
I am addicted to weighing in too! I haven't stepped on the scale for 2 whole days and it's killing me! BUT, I think giving myself a specific day to weigh in is helping. I'm more likely to "be good" the entire week if I only have one weigh-in. Plus, I just get way to frustrated when I lose over a pound one day and the next I've gained it all back. Once a week helps me see the big picture. Smile

After Work Work It
I DID make it! No cyber-smack for me (this time Smile

)...Decided to go immediately after work instead of waiting until after dinner. That made a big difference. I think I pushed myself harder than I would have at 7:30 or 8:00 at night too.
