Relative Humidity and Meteorites

As Alice so graciously explained, we're going on a reporting basis where weight loss starts at zero, and gets reported in negative numbers from there. Unless of course, YOU DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT THIS WEEK AND INSTEAD PUT ON 1.4 POUNDS! To borrow a phrase I learned from one of our regular readers, &$%# my *@@ with your uncle's *#!#. I apologize for the vulgarity, dear readers.

I could not be more shocked, since this definitely was a week where I behaved myself, ate right, and worked out. So for now, I'm chalking this one up to a wee fluke in the system, one that can be explained by a host of factors including the relative humidity in my condo after a morning of rain and its corollary effects on the water loss (or lack thereof) normally contained in my exhalations as I sleep. Plus, I put on some muscle mass this week after hitting the weights pretty hard. And is it just me, or does the relative gravity of the Earth seem to be a wee bit greater this week? Perhaps we've seen some meteorites around the world with particularly high concentrations of heavy metals? We got any amateur astronomers out there in the reading public? I'll give you a dollar if you back me up here.

No matter, this is why bets of this nature aren't decided in the short term. I'm going to the gym early tomorrow, and attending my first ever exercise class on Wednesday night (Beginner's Yoga with CT). I'll ride my bike in the mornings and lift weights at night if need be. There's no way this can happen two weeks in a row, right? Perhaps Mundy will get to hear about the effects of the master cleanse from an unexpected party this month. At the very least, we'll get some amusing posts about how badly I injured myself in yoga class. Maybe some poor lass will take pity on me and strike up a conversation about how to best extricate yourself from shockingly basic yoga poses locked into place by shockingly painful muscle cramps. There's the silver lining I've been looking for.
