Female Factor or Age Factor?

Hmph. We're on day 2 of this thing, and when weighing in this morning (which we do everyday to track ourselves) hubby has already dropped 5 lbs., and me? SAME WEIGHT. What's up with that? I have a couple of theories...
Number 1 : As always, HORMONES.** Could it be that my hormones are to blame based on where I am in my cycle? To be honest, I've kind of lost track as to where that is exactly...although I have a rough idea, and I am entering that bloated stage. Is that to blame? **#8 would likely agree as he often thinks , "Hormones are the reason for all things gone wrong in women...or at least isn't that what they claim?" He's joking....I think, but he'd get a kick out of that theory!
Number 2: Age. Or should I say, age difference. Hubby is 10 years younger than me, which used to embarrass me, but now I'm PROUD of that! Simply put, I'm over 40, he's not. So purely due to age, my metabolism is S-L-O-W-E-R , which in theory means I burn calories much more S-L-O-W-L-Y than he does. Makes sense.
Number 3: Newbie mistake. I waited too long after waking up to eat. Supposed to eat within the first hour of waking up, preferably in the first 30 minutes. I waited at least 90 minutes although I didn't time it exactly. This is the more likely of all reasons, and the only one I can do anything about, so I shall focus on this.
Today, ate my first meal 40 minutes after waking up. Prepping the meal itself wasn't long, but emptying the dishwasher and cleaning up the mess left by hubby this morning, was. It should be noted too that hubby did a terrific job of drinking tons of water so far....where as I did not. So that is my goal for today: Must always have a glass of water in my hands, and drink drink drink drink......I sense many visits to my favourite room in the house!
