R1P3D10 (A Fluke?)

Weight: 173.8 (+1.8, +0.2 LDW, -24.8)

Okay...so...obviously if you compare the two numbers (weight from today, weight from yesterday), you'll notice that there's a HUGE difference. Now, I find it very hard to believe with my calorie intake yesterday and my calories burned that I managed to gain that much weight. That being said, I think it's more likely that:

(a) my body is holding water, with my weird TOM
(b) the weight from this morning isn't entirely accurate since I didn't have a proper morning bathroom visit today
(c) maybe the weight from yesterday was a fluke

All that aside, I'm not too entirely bummed out about where it is, except that it's up so far from what the scale reported yesterday. I mean, let's look at it logically. It's only 0.2 lbs up from my LDW, which is very good. That means I'm still maintaining well. Another thing that makes me think the scale may be having a wonky day was what I said about weighing myself at night. Last night at a relatively early time (10:15-ish?) I weighed and the scale said 174.4. Normally whatever my weight is at night is usually taken down by at least 2 pounds the next day. That would put me at at least 172.2. So I'm not sure about that either. I forgot, but yesterday I used a but load of Splenda, which I found out contains a lot of sugar alcohols that can actually cause you to retain water. Greeeeat. So I think that's my problem.

Anywho, I'm not sweating it, just wondering what's up. I found a great quote in an e-mail update from an HCG forum that I'm a part of that perfectly describes how I feel today:

"If you think of this as a marathon, with hills and valleys, you'll do much better with the little gains than if you think of this as a sprint"

So true. So I'm not gonna sweat today, we'll see how tomorrow fares.
