The scale told me I was 171 pounds at the gym this morning after another night of pissing like crazy. I'm not sure if most people experience water weight loss like this, though I'm guessing no. My head was a bit foggy/achy when I woke up, but I felt considerably better after exercising and drinking a lot of water.

I biked and ran and then headed to lunch, and it occurred to me on the way there that it was considerably easier to haul 170 pounds of body on a jog than it is with 180. After lunch I realized that I felt pretty damn good, and was in a good mood all day. Looking at myself, I realized that it wasn't so much that it looked like I had lost a ton of weight, but rather that I felt and looked less..jiggly. It's a good thing. I'll try to post pictures soon.

My girlfriend, who was the one who asked me to do a week raw with her in the first place, hasn't been having as good of a time with the experiment. Her stomach and head haven't been feeling too hot, and she has informed me that her raw week ends on Friday, whatever the sidereal calendar may say about the passage of time. Also of note is that she has considerably less visible incentive, as she's already vegan and thin enough to not see any difference from the shift.

She came over for dinner and we feasted on some exotic fruit like starfruit and red bananas and kumquats before the main course. We also took a long walk, which I'm frankly too lazy to figure into my caloric expenditures.

That's all for today.
