R1P3D9

Weight: 172.0 (-1.2, -1.6 LDW, -26.6)

So I had a big weight loss today! I woke up this morning because I had to use the restroom reeeeally bad (TMI, so sorry!). I usually take milk of magnesia every other day or so to help me...you know. Anyway, I weighed myself afterwards, as you're supposed to, and I weight 172.0! That's a big loss, but I'm not surprised after yesterday. I took in around 1500 calories, but with my bike ride burning about 250 calories and all that walking I did burning almost 500, my net calories were less than 1000. I know that I'm not supposed to do that, but I can't help it. I like riding my bike in the morning because it gets me going for the day. I may hold off on it tomorrow morning depending on my weigh in. I did bike this morning, not as long, only about 20 minutes. I wore my pedometer to work again today. Here are today's stats:

Steps Taken: 11,326
Miles Walked: 5.362
Calories Burned: 305.8

I didn't work as long today, that's why it's less than yesterday (my 11 1/2 hour day...geeeez.) but I still think it's pretty respectable. Those calories burned plus the about 200 from my bike ride this morning still put me at about 1,000 net calories for the day, so we'll see how the weigh in goes tomorrow morning.

I sometimes weigh myself at night, just out of curiosity. Usually when I weigh, whatever that weight is goes down by about 2 1/2 pounds the next morning. It's gone down as much as 3 before though. When I weighed myself tonight right before I got in the shower (about an hour ago) the scale read 174.4. I imagine, unless I retain some water or something, that my weight will be about the same as it was today. I have to be careful not to lose too much weight though. If I do I may have to start easing up on the bike riding and maybe focusing on some toning exercises, which I should probably be doing anyway. I feel like my stomach is really flabby and that bugs me.

Tomorrow I only work at lunch, so I'm going to write a post about my latest wonderings: homeopathic drops vs. injections. Should be inneresting.
