Good Day, Bad Results

There are many ways to gauge how your body's health is changing.  We mostly think of weight, but others might be more important.

Body fat is a better determiner of health than weight.  It is also a more exact way to measure the composition of the body.  The more body fat we carry the more risk our health is in.  We could also look at sleep, energy, seeing more definition in the body, the way our clothes fit, etc. 

The scale can be useful, but is too often the only consideration.  Figure out what your body composition is and then work to improve that.  My goal is to be below 20%.  Right now I am at about 25%.  I can improve it by either losing fat (not simply weight) or adding muscle.  By the way, both would be best.
