Weight fluctuates, but it’s a lot more fun when it fluctuates down than up

While I was out of town, I didn’t eat that much but barely went to the bathroom at all. And I tried to drink water when I could, but things were pretty confused & I’m pretty sure I didn’t drink 2 liters in any one day while I was out of town. I’m sure this isn’t uncommon for travelers and people under deep emotional stress.

We’re natural walkers in our family, so I walked several miles every day. But, my routine was definitely out of wack. And I thought it interesting to see the immediate effects displayed graphically. My Chart from the past week illustrates The Hacker’s Diet Rubber Bag theory AND the way Moving Weighted Averages work. Take a look:

My weight these past few days shows what happened. Because I didn’t post my weight for a week, the increased weight REALLY had an effect on my moving weighted average. And for the first time it’s above my projected weight for my Diet Plan.

But (and I hope this makes Bombshell feel a little better,) didn’t take long for the Rubber Bag to deflate. As you can see from the chart, my actual weight is back to where it was before I went to California.

But what happens when travel and stress last longer than just a couple of days?
