Day 6: Anomoly Detected

Weight: 245.0
Total change: -4.2
Change since yesterday: +5.0(!?)

Okay, I'm not going to freak out.

...

Okay.

So, yesterday I did house chores, kung-fu, some shopping, and cooked dinner. I had planned on being a little bit bad, because I know that starving yourself is not the way to make it in the long haul.

I didn't think I was out of line, and I didn't feel guilty at all when I went to bed. Maybe I should have weighed myself last night to prepare for the shock of this morning. I considered lying to save myself some humiliation.

Yesterday I consumed two boiled eggs, a glass of milk, a lot of popcorn, a salad, two bowls of (admittedly high-cal) tortellini soup, and a pudding cup. I have a number of theories based on this morning's result, listed in order of best case to worst.

1. Hulk's theory- I gained five lbs of muscle, for no reason. Okay, I worked out on Friday night, humor me.
2. Windows ME theory- the machine is broken- I either don't weigh that today (though I triple checked) or I didn't weigh 240 yesterday.
3. Ron White theory- Maybe my bowels contain enough matter to lessen my pants size.
4. Sponge theory- Water weight retention, from the salty popcorn (most likely).
   
5. Please Don't Be This Theory theory- it's all fat, even though I didn't eat five lbs worth of calories yesterday.

Anyways, I'm going to guess #4 is the right answer and plan for a longer, lower impact workout to sweat out the excess. If I'm lucky, I'll be back on track tomorrow. Otherwise I might need to consider eating more and exercising much more in tandem to offset the shock from having a full meal once in awhile.

See you tomorrow!
