Weighed in this morning at 152 pounds, down two from yesterday.

Yesterday my wife and I went out for lunch, I had a chicken salad with balsamic dressing, and some garlic cheese bread, as well as a 22oz bottle of beer. It was a big salad, I couldn't finish it all. I stayed full most of the day, but finally had a can of Low Sodium V8 Juice in the evening. Otherwise, that was it.

As for watching the superbowl, I didn't. I did get some updates via the web. I would have watched it on television, but I wasn't interested in watching it by myself. And my wife doesn't like watching football. I wasn't sure if any of my friends were watching the game, so we just went out for lunch and then stayed home.


I guess that helped me stave off a potential weight gain. I'm noticing on Twitter and Facebook that several people reporting themselves heavier. Most likely it's just water gain.

The more beer you consume, the less space you have for food. And if you think about it, the amount of space beer can take up in your stomach is far greater than the amount of calories it gives you. That is, you can get more calories from 16oz of chips than 16oz of beer.

So if you drank a lot of beer, or any kind of beverage, in large quantities during a Superbowl party, that's actually not that bad. It's better than snacking away on chips, chicken wings, seven-layer-dip, etc. It prevented you from eating a lot worse.
