The Skinny Kid

I have held as faithfully as possible to my 1,500 calorie limit. Yesterday I was way ahead of the goal by evening, which was nice as I was able to help myself to a cheeseburger and beer while watching the College World Series without busting my diet. And to top it off, my weigh-in tonight was 229 and 28 percent body fat. Compared to when I started the blog on June 11, I am down 8 pounds, and 4.5 of those were fat. That is 18 sticks of butter that I am no longer carrying around.

I still recognize that todays reading was probably a little of an anomaly, particularly for the weight itself. I did not lose three pounds in one day, other than a difference in the amount of water I was carrying when I did the weigh-in. It isn’t something that can be controlled, as I try to weigh myself at the same time every day. It is just something you have to deal with it. And if, as is likely, I weigh a pound or two more tomorrow I won’t take it too hard.

Volatility is part of the process.
