I just came from the gym and if you're following along, I just reported how I was tossing 2 pounds per workout, twice per week. All my workouts except one since the new year have been fasting workouts, i.e., at the tail end of a 30-hr fast. It took a couple of fasts to get going, but then the last four times have been -2 each time save last Friday where it was -1.5, so I was down to 212.5. I weigh myself twice per week under the same conditions -- right at the end of my workout after I've stripped down. That cuts down on the normal water swings. But today, 28 hours into a fast and after a hard workout, I had gained a pound: 213.5. Setback? Well, I can think of three explanations. The simplest is that this kind of thing is never linear.
