No, I don't think I really lost 4.5 lbs in 24 hours. Nevertheless, that's what the scale said two of the four times I stepped on it this morning. I suppose I could have stepped on the thing 30 times to ensure large enough sample for a mean, but decided the median after four tries was good enough. Yesterday's reading was probably high, but it is common for me to pop up and down as I am one of those guys that loses (and adds) water weight rapidly. The 181 was also surprising given my clothes still fit, though they are not "loose" like they are around marathon time. My "true" wieght yesterday was probably around 179. The good news in all of this is that I am much farther from the "overwieght" BMI level (184) than I orginally feared.
My run yesterday was good. 40:04 for 5.6 miles. Anything at or under 40 is a good run for me at that distance. I'll do the same thing today, see how it feels now that I am 4.5 pounds lighter...
