Don’t Have a Keg…

I just couldn’t resist and had to weigh myself this morning to get a better idea if the weight loss was real. Why this morning? Because I had a pretty good day yesterday and knew that I wasn’t weighing myself after a day of virtual fasting since I ate more regularly and certainly wasn’t as dehydrated.

Good news - still down 3 lbs over the previous week and my bodyfat was much more consistent with where I was last week (229 lbs and 23% respectively). As I had discovered earlier my bodyfat is always lower when I’m not dehydrated from being asleep - even though I usually have a glass of water before I weigh myself (I take my medicine and vitamins upon waking in case you wondered) that never seems to be enough to fully compensate for 6-7 hours of no liquids. And yeah, the water is all still in my stomach and not in my cells where the scales electric impulse can be effected by it.

Feeling very good today, very good indeed! Maybe because of the extra hour of sleep the time change gave me? I know I don’t get enough of it - who does these days? And changing time zones at the end of this week is really going to mess up my sleep cycle, which is part of the reason to spend some time on the west coast before coming home from Hawaii. I handle the 6 hour time change pretty well going west, but not coming back. Or is it only a 5 hour change now? I’ll find out soon.

The real question is should I shave my back before I hit the beach?

What? Too much information? Real men have body hair - and based on mine as I get older I’m about as real as a man gets…(for you young, ie. less than 25 or so, guys here’s something that they never teach you in health class. The hair from your head begins to migrate down your back as you get older…scary but true!).
