The scale was broken yesterday... I didn't sleep yesterday night... Felt as if I would float away because of how bloated I was...
The end result was to wait until today to take measurements, compare with last week, and give a status report.
Days remaining: 213
Pounds remaining: 146
Inches lost/gained: -3.50 inches
Pounds lost/gained: +6.00 pounds
In a phrase, my efforts to work on this project for Week 2 were pathetic; no excuses. Will have to work harder next week... what a dumb time of year to try to lose weight. :P
On the positive side, I decided to start drinking more water today and ended up downing 3.5 liters in about five hours. Scary part... none of that liquid registered for hours!! Must have been more dehydrated than I had suspected.

Note: I have heard that the body needs to have enough water in order to turn body fat into energy, so chronic dehydration (easily achieved when nursing a baby) can actually prevent you from losing body fat. Also in chronic dehydration, the body's sense of thirst can sometime be interpreted by the mind as a feeling of hunger. Solution: if you feel hungry, drink a glass of water and wait half an hour. If your body was actually just thirsty, the hunger will go away. If not, then eat something after the time elapse. Then your body will already have the water it needs to digest your food properly.
