How I lost 1.6 pounds in less than 2 hours

LOL, okay this was strange and made me wonder about exactly what our bodies go through in the morning.  The other day (day 6 of my journey to be exact).  I woke up about 7:30, went to the bathroom and er did #1 only giggle (I only share this because it makes what happened even more strange).  So I got up, relieved myself of some liquid and hopped on the scale 235.2.  WHAT? I had gone up 1.8 pounds from the morning before.  Okay okay calm down, back to bed for awhile. 

I began to read over my log book to see what might have caused this sudden and big jump back up.  Okay, the day before I had ramen noodles for lunch (poor planning but only 190 calories) however it is very very high in sodium and I had drank a good amount of water that day too.  So I looked at the day before and saw that I had had pizza for lunch (didn't have time to pack one and my son was with me at work so we ordered pizza) and I hardly consumed 2 glasses of water all day {the excess sodium from yesterday and lack of water the day before that most likely caused me to retain excess water}.  So it could be the downfalls of those two days (yes I can be a tough on myself) and/or the increase in physical activity (I had started to workout on the treadmill this week).  I then proceeded to read until about 9. 

At 9 I went into the bathroom and took a shower (didn't use the toilet again) and got on the scale.  I'm not sure why I felt compelled to do that but I did and I'm glad I did lol.  It read 233.6 I had gone back down 1.6 from that morning.  Phewww

Okay, but then I also had gone up .2 from the day before.  Let's see increase in exercise, body will hold water a bit for the first couple of weeks and then my food choices for the last two days ... okay I can accept a .2 increase.  Then I remembered when I was on this journey before a small increase like that when I was doing relatively good, meant I had a good drop coming within two days.  I put that out into the universe and told a couple people.  Yup I went up a bit today but expect a significant drop within 2 days.

Next day - down.4 and the day after that - down 1.4.  :)))

Does it seem like I'm getting too overboard on the details? I thrive on details - always have so I'm in my element.  I just love to watch how my body reacts to different situations and be able to predict what it will do.

But really just what did my body do internally to drop 1.6 pounds in less than 2 hours.  I did nothing, didn't drink any water, didn't go to the bathroom, didn't exercise nothing.  Strange but fascinating too.  At least I think so.
