Day 13:

Another missed day of writing. At least it was only one day. Here's the scoop: it's official; The seaweed salad was a bad idea. As was the Naked Juices. The past 2 days have been odd. If you'll recall, Tuesday night, I decided to indulge a bit and had some seaweed salad for dinner. It was all of maybe 1/8 cup. When I woke up in the morning, I could feel the sodium in my body. It was the most disgusting feeling ever. The days biggest disappointment came when I stepped on the scale in the morning... Yesterdays stats:

Weight: 229.2 lbs (What?!)
BFP: 34.7%
Hunger 1-3

What do you mean I GAINED 0.2 lbs?! I'm ingesting MAYBE 300 calories a day. How is it possible that I've GAINED weight?! Oh... right... seaweed salad from a sushi joint... has salt in it. What does sodium make our bodies do? Retain water... got it. Fine. If nothing else, that number on the scale definitely solidified the fact that I need to finish out this quest without any further deviation, because I am not satisfied with 229lbs. I've grown tired of juicing, so I've been looking for an alternative. Like pre-juiced... juice. For example: Naked Brand juices. The ingredients clearly state nothing but fruit juices and fruit purees. And only 10mg of sodium! Excellent! So, I had one for lunch yesterday. Which brings us to todays stats:

Weight: 229.2 lbs (No way.)
BFP: 33.7% (Interesting.)
Hunger: Why bother. I'm not really hungry anymore.

For the second day in a row, I haven't lost an ounce. The only deviation I made was the Naked Brand juices. Using linear thinking:

Juice + Naked Juice + Seaweed Salad = No weight lost
Juice + Naked Juice = No weight lost
Juice = Weight Lost
Therefore: Naked Juice = No weight lost (?)

Interesting thought. Anyway, as I get closer to the end of this experiment, I'm worried that I won't reach my goal. I'm only halfway there, and in terms of stats, I SHOULD have been 226 lbs this morning. I'm 3 lbs behind! Am I gonna make it? Or have I hit the proverbial "wall". One thing to notice from this mornings stats is the BFP. It's below 34% for the first time during this foray of fatlessness. So, I may not be losing weight, but I'm losing fat? I know it works the opposite way when you're trying to put on muscle. Maybe this is just the peak of my water retention and everything that's left is fat. Time to start running? Maybe I'll try it out tonight.

Update:
Here's a thought: Intermittent Fasting. I'm thinking I'll run a mile tonight and if I don't see any change in tomorrows weigh-in, it's time to start ADF (Alternate Day Fasting). We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
