If you can't weigh first thing in the morning, then don't bother

Start Weight: 168 lbs
Goal Weight: 138 lbs
Weight after two loading days:  171.7 lbs (3.7 lbs total gain)
R2P2D24Inj20: 153 lbs  (-18.7 lbs gross, -15 lbs net)



Well, I'm sorry... I dropped the ball this morning and did not weigh.  I had a very early morning and was running late.  And, I know better than to weigh in the afternoon.  It just isn't going to be a good comparison -- like apples to oranges -- and can sometimes cause some unneeded stress since we tend to weigh more later in the day.


Today's tip:  if you can't weigh first thing in the morning (right after you get up and use the restroom) then just wait for the next day because otherwise it will not be a valid comparison.

Reflections on my menu:  I tried to spread things out more, but I'm still eating too late.  Gotta do better there!


Reflections on my day:  I have felt a little "off" today.  A little shaky and a little short of breath.  I've also felt dizzy when I stand up too fast.  I know that both yesterday and today I haven't been drinking nearly enough water, and that may be the problem.  So, I'll try to up the water intake tomorrow.  'Til then -- later losers!
