One flu/cold bout later! Well, it’s about a ten-pound loss in weight, but not much change otherwise. If I disregard all the changes that were only 1/4" then there’s been basically no change at all. I mean a frigging quarter-inch could mean I was pulling on the tape too much or not enough to register that small of an amount. I boldfaced the stuff that made a significant change. My shoulders took a dump. One entire inch. And I lost 8.5 pounds between those two readings. Bah! Actually, the scale registered at 186.5 since that January 7 posting, so that’d be a whopping 12-pound loss. AAARRGH!!!

I’ll see tomorrow and through the week’s training how much strength I’ve lost. I’m sure my squat is down and probably all other lifts. Still congested and my throat is not right, but I’m heading to the grocery store today to stock the fridge.

Update: 1/28’s numbers were 246 grams protein, 3548 calories, 387 grams carbs, and 4360 mg sodium.
