Day 10 - Maybe My Scale Is Broken

Here's what I don't understand about exercising & dieting.  Correction, here's one of the many things I don't understand about exercising and dieting.  I have been doing everything right.  Exercising 9 out of the last 10 days (twice a day, even), watching what I eat, drinking lots of water, staying within my daily Weight Watcher points, and yet, today when I stepped on the scale, I was up! Up! UP! almost a pound.  How do you explain that?  What evil force is at work trying to throw me a curve ball?  I'd like to say that perhaps it's my newly formed muscles.  You know how they say muscle weighs more than fat.  But I just don't think that's the case after only 10 days.  Now, I did use a new delicious barbeque rub a couple of days ago and maybe it tasted so good because it was loaded with salt.  Lots of salt, of course, would make me retain extra water weight.  That sounds logical, but who knows?

Maybe my scale is broken.  I used to have a scale that if I stood with most of my weight on my right heel, I weighed about 2 pounds less than if I stood with my weight evenly distributed.  But, up until now, my new scale hasn't been like that.  Maybe, I should change the batteries.  

Maybe, I should wait until tomorrow morning and see what I weigh.  Maybe, I just shouldn't weigh myself every day.  Maybe, I should stop worrying about it and log off and go do my Ab work out.
