Day Five Hundred and Twelve - Weight in #73 - A Horrible Way to Lose Weight

I have had another successful day of sitting around in bed trying to get better.  I feel much better than I did for the past four days.  I'm still really tired and moving around wears me out extremely quickly.  I did eat a delicious side-salad with my soup tonight, so I definitely see an amazing improvement from the pudding, popsicles, and soup that I have been eating for the past few days.

So I went ahead and weighed this morning, and I was beyond shocked by the results.  I knew that after being very bloated at my last weigh in that I would be down some from having the flu all week.  Little did I know that I would drop so much weight.  When I stepped onto the scale, I was down 14.8 lbs.  This brings my total weight loss to 162 lbs., with a current weight of 204.2 lbs.  I know that is a lot of weight to drop in a week, but I am also realistic about two things.  First that a lot of what I lost was bloat from the week before.  Also, as soon as I start eating and moving around again, I will put back on some of the weight I've lost from being immobile and hardly eating for the past five days.  Regardless, I am going to keep my focus and as I get better I will keep my focus and lose my butter half.
