Hahaha....OK so I ate a late dinner last night and boom my weight goes up??? Lol. Not panicking...this is probably due to the density of the meal...calorie wise I did OK. the bottom line is that this is my new ceiling and 219.8 the new floor. Let's see how I do tomorrow and during the weekend. Same thing happened the last time I hit a mini goal...lol.
Morning Update:
I laughed when I saw the scale this morning. I knew that eating a late dinner would cause an issue. Now, I know what the root causes were...I had a hibachi style meal with chicken, lettuce and zucchini. The soy sauce has sodium, the ginger sauce also has a little sodium and I had two bottles of water with the meal. All that equals late night volume with a propensity to gain water weight due to the salty sauces. Now, is that actual weight, nope. Just my body reacting to a salty intake. I expect the numbers to keep going down as I eat better today, tomorrow and on the weekend. Either way, today's weight is the new ceiling...and yesterday was the new floor. As I push towards my next mini goal, the weigh loss will get tougher, I know that what is left of the body fat is old fat, that fat that has been with you the longest...when you hit those levels of fat then the body will really fight you on that weight loss. But guess what, I AM READY. Let's throw down...I am so tired of that fat...time to break through.
Thoughts for the day:
1) Manners - As I was in-between dosing off and awaiting my stop on the subway, I saw that this woman walked towards a young guy with a semi mo hawk and asked him to scoot over so she could take a seat. This young a-hole made pretend she wasn't even there...he didn't even scoot. The lady next to him got up and gave her a seat. This young piece of you know what could have accommodated her by moving about three inches and everyone would have had a seat. Why have manners disappeared? The breakdown of society starts in moments like that, where most people are civil, the worse part of society seeks to counter the politeness. If we are not civil, we start to move away from a society and go back towards a individualism that could tear the fabric of our country apart. All it takes is a nice act, that act can set forth a stream of nice acts with great consequences...pay it forward.
2) Keep it light - Given my dense meal for dinner, I have to say...pay attention to what you eat. The true indicator of whether that change in your weight may not be calories but may be the volume/density of what you eat. If what you eat weighs a pound, when you consume that meal, you will add a pound to your weight. When we evacuate, we lose bulk and liquid weight. Now, when you eat salty food you tend to absorb and retain more water...adding to your weight. So do not freak out after a large meal when you see a weight gain, as long as your caloric intake is less than your caloric expenditure, ultimately you will see a weight loss. Remember, the weight of what you eat may temporarily affect your weight loss...but don't be scared...as soon as you visit the bathroom, your body will regulate the effects..
3) The Time is Now - If you are looking in doing something different, there is no better time than now. Many times we hesitate or we give excuses as to why we don't do things we may need to do. Stop, take a breath, and say to yourself "Either I am going to do this or I am not. The time to decide is now." The longer you delay the longer the effects of what you decide take. Believe in yourself and make the call...you owe to your future to take action now..

Late Afternoon Update:
For some reason I am positively ravenous today. Had a great Protein packed lunch, had my apple and now I just snacked on some almonds. Usually, I don't snack on the almonds till Dinner. I wonder why I am so hungry. Day going well so far....can't wait till Football tonight...I am not a ravens or Browns fan but I love the NFL and the Real Refs are back! Go JETS this weekend!
Still Cloudy and Cool in NYC!
