I would be delighted.

This morning when I awoke, and weighed myself, I was 4 pounds lighter than I was Thursday morning, and 2 pounds lighter than I was yesterday afternoon [after a bike ride into Whittier with Rocky and Edgar].

I decided Wednesday evening to make a more concerted effort to lose weight, even cutting up some celery Thursday to munch on instead of the cookies, candy, nuts etc. I usually munch on in the afternoon, but 4 pounds in 2 days seems pretty dramatic.

I don’t feel bad, aside from having more and more trouble getting up in the mornings, so I’ll wait till tomorrow before panicking.

Hopefully I’ve just shed a little excess [and unneeded] water weight, and I’ll see a more controlled weight loss tomorrow.

  1. Has to be water. You can’t lose 4 lbs of fat or muscle in two days.

  2. Even if you’re sick?

    I lost another pound this AM, and that’s after stuffing myself with a bleu burger with fries, and 2 glasses of soda water at Red Robin last night.

  3. Even if you’re sick, unless you’re terribly catabolic and are breaking down muscle mass extensivly (I don’t think you’re that sick, you’d know it).

    Still think it’s a matter of water distribution. Maybe you were water overloaded previously and now you’re back to your dry weight?

  4. Don’t worry, I never believe anything a doctor tells me. :)

    But I do think you’re correct, and I am feeling a lot better than I did a half hour ago, so I guess I’d better get ready for my bike ride.

  5. Drink plenty of water.
