DAY 3

So far, this is my favorite eating day.  Breakfast smoothie tasted great, the lunch guacamole/tuna sandwich was awesome and I already made the stir fry (with chicken- not beef) so I know that it is tasty.  
I've lost 2 lbs in 2 days!  I'd guess that's because I haven't had any wine or alcohol and also because I've done a 1 hour brisk walk both days, and will continue every day.

I have not been hungry yet.  Its been hard to eat all the food, the exercise definitely helps burn through it.

Here's a question.
How can I lose weight while I sleep?  I weighed myself the last 3 nights before bed and then when I woke up.  I lost around .4 lbs each night.  No, I didn't wake up and use the restroom during the night and I haven't wet the bed either in case you're wondering.  The only logical conclusion I can come up with is drool.  I must drool .4 lbs each night.  Isn't that a sexy thought. If anyone else knows, please let me know.

I'm heading to Vail this weekend to ski.  I will most certainly miss eating at my good friend's Italian restaurant, voted one of the best in Denver, where he always has fantastic food, wine and port.  I shall also miss drinking brandy and beer on the slopes with my friends and sister.  I think the altitude and extra exercise will have an effect and help as well, I always lose weight in higher altitudes.   

3 days down, 39 to go!

  1. Drool is certainly a plausible explanation, or at least a contributing factor. But there could be others. How much does a "lovin' spoonful" weigh do you think? Was you palm red this morning?
    Of course temperature could be a factor if you're sweating.

  2. Wiki answers says you can sweat about a pint a night. .4 lbs is 6.5 ounces. a pint is 8 ounces.
    A zebra sweats about a gallon, but you can't tell on a black and white tv.

  3. No red palm"s", thanks for asking. I forgot about sweating. I'll accept the formula: drool + sweat = .4lbs. A zebra, huh? Oh boy...
