I think Sunday might be the same so maybe I should exercise outside before my weigh-in Monday morning!

There's nothing wrong with sweating, I do it all the time in front of everyone in my Jazzercise class. No one who works out is going to think anything about it. If I don't come home dripping wet with sweat from class my husband doesn't think I worked out--ha.ha. If I see someone who is not sweating--I don't believe they're working out hard enough.
Consider sweat your "badge of honor" in your exercise routine-and show it off. Plus sweating gets rid of all the toxins in your body--and you have to feel sorry for those that actually can't sweat.
I used to play racquetball with a woman--and we had each other running all over the court. I was dripping wet--and the only thing her body would do is turn a bright red--and she complained about not being able to sweat.
Sweating is your own little body air-conditioner turning on. Because I could sweat I was able to cool my body down and she was just getting hotter and hotter.
If you're hot while walking or running outside--just get a baseball hat wet and wear it. It works great to keep you a little cooler for a little longer. But whatever you do--don't worry about how you look when you're exercising. It's the end result of how you will look--that will keep you moving and sweating.
