For The Record, Scale Check

This is something of a "false positive" here. This is from July 4, taken the morning after I came back from a camping trip. Normally, I lose weight when I'm on vacation, so there's no real surprise that I would hit a new low mark in the immediate aftermath of that. However, on this occasion I was driving home from a camping vacation in Nevada, on what was generally a hot day, with the sun beating through the windshield most of the time (traveling almost directly west). Hence, my car was a sauna most of the trip, and I sweated out a lot of moisture.

So most likely, this number is the result of a lot of lost water weight--not necessarily actual body mass sent away. I've since rebounded a bit (weighed 267 on a different scale yesterday), but not a tremendous amount, so that's good.

I'm off to Disneyland on Tuesday, and should spend five whole days walking miles around those two parks, which may hold the promise of more weight lost. The questions then will be: Can I hit a new low mark when I get home? Can I keep any lost weight off thereafter? We shall see.
