I�m a little perturbed. I started this Healthy Diet thing a while back, as my faithful readers will know, in an effort not to lose weight but to gain life expectancy and (optimistically) muscle mass. I tried to increase my proteins and cut back on junk carbs like sugar and white flour. I still eat whole grain breads and oatmeal and shit, but I try to avoid pasta and stuff.
And then rather than getting all buff and shit due to all the protein and exercise, I instead lost about five pounds. Well, great, I guess. I mean, I didn�t really think I had a whole five pounds to lose, but I figured it was baby fat covering what (admittedly little) muscle I already had. I�ve got one of those bodies where I�m going to look like I�m about 15 until I die, but at least I looked like a well-toned high school sophomore.
Naturally, the holidays tossed a wrench into the diet machinery, and I ate pretty crappy. I counted it something of a victory that I pretty much maintained my weight during that time. I have to take a brief moment to bitch, here, and bear with me, about the fact that people (read: me) are using weight to determine health. Like, what the fuck ever about weight. Who gives a shit what the scale says, as long as you look good, feel good, and, most importantly, are taking care of your inner plumbing (cholesterol is the real enemy, folks).
Anyway, whatever. The point is that I�ve been monitoring my weight due to the fact that, regardless of whether or not you feel okay, it�s entirely possible to lose too much. Which brings me to my point. I just went downstairs to get something, and Tony said to me, "Have you lost weight? You look like you�ve lost weight." And so I hopped on the scale and found that yes, I seem to have shed another two pounds between my trip back to LA (Sunday) and today (Wednesday). Somewhere over the course of the last two days, I misplaced two pounds.
How?! From where?! I mean, I�m not in Scary Lara Flynn Boyle territory, or anything, but this is alarming to me. On the plus side, it means I do get to go out and eat an entire bag of chips at lunch, something I�ve been steadfastly avoiding, but even that doesn�t quite fill me with glee. I shouldn�t have to eat junk food to maintain my weight, y�all. It kind of completely defeats me in my attempt to be healthy and muscle-y.
Heh. Just watch and the scale was calibrated incorrectly. I�m probably fine.
