Weighing in - Day 2

Let me start by saying, yesterday was an odd one. I was very thirsty yesterday and I drank six liters of water. Usually this would mean I would either stay at my weight or gain upwards of a pound. For reference, I usually drink 3 to 5 liters, and each liter is two pounds. So, you expect it, but I don't worry about gaining weight from water, that is good weight in my opinion.

I stepped on the scale this morning expecting either no weight loss, or maybe up a bit. But, noooo, I am down again this morning. 226.2, or 3.8 pounds in two days.

Also, figure I should maybe post about what exercise I am doing, or when I am not exercising. Day 1, I did a 4 mile run, yesterday I did 8 miles. Today, I am hoping to get 4 or 5 miles.

I think most people who switch to a low-carb diet experience the same kind of thirst at first. If I remember correctly, burning through your stored fat dehydrates you somewhat, driving the thirst.
