Lose 3 lbs, Gain 3 lbs, Lose 3 lbs … Repeat

hot-on-the-roof
This picture reminds me of what it felt like when I was working on the roof today, between 11 am and 1 pm.

Today there was some necessary work to do on the roof and because it had to be done in time so that it would have a few hours to dry before the afternoon rain arrived… I had to do it in the middle of the day.

I weighed myself before and afterwards, because that’s a more reliable measure of dehydration than the feeling of thirst.  I was 3 pounds lighter after working in the sun on the roof, which translates to having lost 3 pints of water.

So I sat around in shorts after finishing the roof work and cooled off while replenishing those 3 pints before doing today’s rowing.

Today’s time on the erg was a very easy 10K.  After the 10K, I was once again 3 pounds lighter!  Though the rowing pace was very easy, the room was a wee bit warm…
