This weekend I went on a mini-bender of sorts. Had my fill of cookies after my wife returned home from grocery shopping. Mind you, this wasn’t a “full force” eating festival. More along the lines of returning to the cookie jar every so often.
Still, I was surprised when I weighed in this morning and found my weight unchanged from over the weekend. I thought for sure, I would weigh at least a pound more than I have been. I’m speculating that my weight didn’t increase because I am loading up on water. One of my thirty day goals awhile back was to drink at least 64 ounces of water per day above and beyond what I would drink anyway. I purposely bought a one liter water bottle that I fill up every night and stick in the frig for the next day. During the course of the day – usually around noon – I would have finished that bottle and load up another liter worth of water. Recently, though, I have been drinking three bottles of water each day. That’s consistently drinking three bottles – over a hundred ounces of water – every day. And hold on for this, there are some days when I am drinking four bottles a day.
My “theory” of why I didn’t gain weight this weekend is that I was too bloated from drinking water to properly stuff myself. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
