Day 87 April 29, 2008
And I’m back! And I had a great time! And I’m confused because I weighed in last night at 278, and this morning I was at 270. So I have no idea what to think. My ankles were swollen yesterday, and now they aren’t. Hmm. I will tentatively record 270 as my starting weight, but I don’t think that’s possible, and it’s given me this sort of false hope that somehow I survived out in the real world for a week.
But I had a great time. It was too short, really — I could have stayed for another two weeks to spend more time with my family. I feel like I ate a lot, but I didn’t eat as much as I would have six months ago, and I wasn’t fixated on food. I also got super trashed at a family bbq. I drank two glasses of wine, then almost 4 margaritas made by my brother-in-law. I think they were pretty much pure alcohol with a dash of lime juice. I blacked out at points, made some poorly chosen and regrettable drunken phone calls, and vomited all over my sister’s downstairs bathroom. It was pretty nasty. I hadn’t been drunk like that in … five years. FIVE years!!

WHAT I NEED TO WORK ON:
I can fluctuate as much as 5-8 pounds in a day - I always weigh more at night, even if I’ve eaten nothing and exercised my butt off. I find I weigh in at the lowest weight about an hour after I get up, before I eat anything or shower. Weird, huh? I don’t know if it’s closest to my true weight or not (I’m inclined to think so), but if I can wangle my perfect weigh-in conditions, that’s the one I take!
