On Weight and Weight Results
See that last result? Yeah, that’s above the trend line. I’m not staunchly in the throes of self-flagellation though. I’ve changed my baseline because I discovered a snag in my previous methodology. I’ve been exercising in the morning pretty much since I started this gig, and I’ve been weighing in every day after I’ve walked or walked/ran over six kilometers. A few weeks ago, I started weighing in before and after exercising to determine how much water I’m losing in the Florida heat. The fluid loss tends to knock between 1 and 2 kg off of my weight value for a day. Now this hasn’t affected my overall measure of weight loss since I’m measuring from the same baseline every day, but it makes for a real problem when I don’t exercise in the morning. My solution, then, is to make sure I weigh in before any exercising. This led to a sudden shift in where my trend line should be. The next couple of weeks will be an adjustment as the smoothing trend adjusts for the new baseline, but rest assured that I intend to be gung ho hardcore while it adjusts.
In more positive news, my Katamari Damacy soundtrack came in the mail today from Hong Kong. Paired with the copy of Erotic Tales of the Victorian Age that I picked up from UPS today (late anniversary present from Allyson), this CD has helped create an excellent mail day for Rusty.
