When is the best time to...

I have always thought that the best time to weigh in was first thing in the morning because I supposed that all of my swelling and what not from the previous day had gone down. It has come to my attention, however, that first thing in the morning may not be the best time. I often weigh myself after a workout and just before I get into the shower. Even if I have eaten something post workout pre-shower and time has elapsed, I find that I weigh less than I did first thing that morning. I wonder why that is. What, if anything, have you found to be the best time to weigh in. Perhaps I am just tricking myself into believing that this is so. Hmmm.

Speaking of swelling, is it weird that I am glad at times to see that my ankles are swollen? Or that I am retaining water? In my strange and twisted mind I see that as weight that isn't fat therefore it is hard to lose, I see weight that is water that is easy to lose. Demented? Probably. Genius? Possibly. At least I'm an optimist!
