I had a visit from the weight-gain fairy last night. And she was extremely generous too. Could someone please point her to someone else's house next time? :/

I gained 1.7 kgs(!) (that's more than 3 lbs to you Americans) overnight! I'm not even sure how that's possible. I am, however sure how it happened. Only one meal can really have done it, as it's out of the ordinary.

Wife and I had a little date night yesterday evening. Nothing big and fancy, but we did end up eating at the local Chinese restaurant. She had a few Chinese dishes, and I went for the Mongolian BBQ. It's pretty cool for me, as it's basically a salad (I choose to not add meat) that you mix, and then they stir-fry in a little bit of oil. They know of my weight loss journey and put a lot of effort into NOT drenching it in oil. I really appreciate them for that. I didn't eat a lot, about 5 cups of salad (after frying, probably around 2 1/2 cup), so that's not really ANY calories (food log says 55 cals) and then a little oil and soy sauce. And here is the kicker. The soy, which is relatively low calorie, was SUPER SALTY. I didn't realize until I was a good chunk into the food, and it didn't really bother me. But it's the only thing I can see really could make a difference like this.

Sure, I had my ice cream. I always do. It doesn't affect like this. I also had chocolate. It's calculated. I went for my 1800 calories and I did just fine. Soy sauce is the culprit, I think. Even if I have miscalculated something, it would never equal the weight gain. To miscalculate and have a 1.7 kg fat gain I would have to miscalculate around 10,000 calories. Not very likely.

I'm perfectly fine with the gain, other than of course the fact that it's highly annoying. It'll be gone in a few days. That's the bother - I was hoping to record a new low again for Saturday morning, but it's not very likely to happen now. Then comes Indulgence Day through Saturday and I can start over, and hopefully reach a new low NEXT Saturday. I'll just have to suffer the consequences and wait another week for a low. I'll survive it, I'm sure.

The main thing to focus on here is that it's NOT a fat gain.

So, today I changed my morning schedule around. It's not as comfortable as what I normally do, but it works.

I have changed it to spend more time with Wife in the mornings. I have missed our little talks and laughs as we get ready, since we started doing our morning exercises. She needs to do hers first, so she can shower and get ready. Normally, I'd do mine right after and get ready, and I would finish about the same time as she leaves to go to work. This took away our talk in the mornings. Oh, how I missed it.

Yesterday I simply skipped my exercises to get to spend time with her, but this is of course not a good long-term option. So instead, I get ready with her, as much as I can. I cook breakfast for us, and shave, go to the restroom, weigh in and everything pre-workout that I can do. Then, when she leaves, I will do the workout, shower and get ready for work.

This of course means that my journals we be coming a little bit later than what you guys are used to. Sorry about that. I know that some of you actually stay up and wait for it. I can't say how proud you guys make me. It's so weird to know that there are actually people WAITING to read what I write. It, of course, keeps me super dedicated to my journey, but it also puts a lot of pressure on me. What should I write today? What would be interesting? What if I can't come up with anything? What if nothing really happened yesterday that triggers my thoughts? I hope I don't disappoint you guys too often.

Today is a BUSY day.

I got some extra tasks at work that I need to do today, along with my usual interviews. I am off at 1:30 PM today (as I do every Friday) and then I have a few off-duty meetings that I need to do this afternoon. After that, I'm gonna hit the gym. I haven't been there since Monday, as I went for a nice, sunny walk on Wednesday instead, but I want to make sure to do a session today to not get out of the habit of going. I'll be there around 3:30 PM, and done at 5. Then home, eat, and be picked up to go rehearse with The Black Peanut at 5:40. Damn, that's gonna be a long, intensive day. It BETTER burn some calories!

Maybe this will also make me drop some of the water that I seem to be holding on to. I hope so. I want it gone ASAP.

Today I am thankful for
- Not getting a chance to get bored today. :)
- Meeting new, exciting people at my afternoon meeting.
- Morning chat with wife as in the "good old days". How I missed it!
- NOT getting a visit from the Weight Gain Fairy tonight. She better stay the heck away!

So, let's all cheer and root for me losing 1.7 kgs of water AND some fat by tomorrow morning! :)

Life is good!
