169 and feelin' fine!

Weighed in this morning and I stayed the same - 169 lbs. (76.7 kg.).  I might have lost a few ounces if I hadn't had popcorn last night after dinner.  Those 100 calorie snack bags of popcorn are my go-to food when I want something to much on.  I made it before I remembered I was supposed to weigh in this morning.  I don't usually eat popcorn the night before a weigh in.  Anyways...maybe I'll get on the scale tomorrow morning just for fun and see if I get a different reading.  I'm actually okay with the scale reading.  It has been bouncing around so much in the last couple of months (down a bit, up a bit, up a bit more, down a bit = no net change), it is kind of nice to see the SAME number week after week. 

I've been drinking water like a mad woman.  I drink cold tap water from my super-cool metal water bottle.  Here's a picture:

Now here's a picture of all the stairs I have to climb to go pee 50 times a day at work:

Here's some reasons I copied from some random website why drinking water is so important:
