www-d19 (2.19.2026): ...and that's why we do AVERAGES

weight fluctuates, and you & i know why

thursday, feb 19, www-d19. 207.2; 40.25

we often lie (uh, 'modify reality') when discussing personal weight loss -- by remembering our ultimate heaviest measurement and comparing it to our lowest. while true on scale: a more accurate account would be to compare averages.

men (or those who do not have menstrual cycles) would be best served to weigh-in daily (same time, naked, at wake-up) and to average that weight (per week). women who have menstrual cycles (as silly as this may sound at the outset) really weigh what they weigh for the cycle. yes, average the 28 (or so ) days.

a more important topic might be: 

why do we call them 'men-strual' cycles, 
and why do we label "fe-males" as wo-men

but i digress... 
;)

averages... better account for fluctuations: in hydration, respiration, behaviors (e.g. toxins), etc. the wellness hummingbird knows that his 'weight' is not that silly number that shows-up on the scale. he just uses that number as feedback, as awareness, as a diagnostic, and yes, as a re-mind-errr of what he did the day prior. 

the scale is feedback. nothing more.
a smart-scale is more accurate feedback. nothing more.

feedback is worthless (without contemplation).
