11 weeks remaining, and 11.8 lbs remaining. Tubby falls behind by a nose.
But, hey, hey! Do you want to see something cool? This is a screenshot from my weight tracking app:
.
The lower arrow was 171.2, on Sat morning. The upper arrow was 175.0, on Sunday morning. In between was coffee with cream* and sugar, eggs and snnnnausages, fucking bread!, a restaurant lunch, more doctored coffee, a margarita, and a restaurant dinner with more fucking bread. Bread is one of the most delicious substances in the universe. Regret not a single mouthful of Saturday.
Despite all the decadence, I ate right at TDEE for the day
$. Overall weight still went up 5 lbs. According to the math, I would have needed to shovel (5*3500)+2000=
19,500kcal into my mouthhole to actually gain 5lbs of mass. Since I ate at TDEE, science indicates the uptick was my body trying to chew through a hefty bolus of alcohol, sodium and carbohydrate molecules. By the end of my supper of mainly starch, salt, and alcohol, I was massively thirsty and could tell my sodium balance was out of kilter. But look at that graph. Look at it! It's taken a full 5 days to process the outfall of Saturday. Based on the teensy loss from 10 days ago, I might still be processing.
I've noticed this trend before. One meal outside of bounds makes a negligible blip in weight. Two meals in one day, or even 2 meals across one weekend makes a pretty big fucking blip, and takes a solid 5-7 days to be processed. It's pretty cool to see the data laid out before me. Though, the whole thing makes full days of decadence seem decidedly not worthwhile. Not because I think I'm gaining fat, but because the behaviour is obscuring the sweet, sweet data. The impulse to eliminate food options, based solely on not skewing the data will have to be watched. A little is fine, a lot is disordered. Right now, it's just cool.
*fine, whatever. Fake coconut based cream. Your pedantism is irritating.
$Maybe 20% above, maybe 20% below. It's hard to judge the caloric content of restaurant meals.
