Something is a miss, I got on the scale this morning and I am up in weight from last Friday and if I am being honest it confuses me, let me splain Lucy. Last week I was diligent with my eating and exercise and hit an all time low weight and then Saturday I went to a friends place that I had not seen in a while and had pizza for lunch and nothing for dinner besides some snacking and then Sunday I was over by a bowl of popcorn and I know that I had not drank right all weekend. Ok so you had a bad weekend? you recover from that all of the time right? Usually yes, and especially when I work out regularly on top of all of that, this week so far I went to the gym Monday and Tuesady and will go again this afternoon. My intake has been great post weekend, Monday 1530 cals, Tuesday 1640 cals and Wednesday 1760 cals and as far as fluid intake I have had at least 1.5 galoons per day since Monday so why am I up in weight? its just one of those weeks I suppose because there is no way that one day of eating off kilter and one weekend worth of not drinking nearly enough should throw me off this much.
Tomorrow I weigh in and will see where the wheel lands as far as my weight goes, From what I saw this morning I do think there will be a gain from last week on the scale, I just cannot believe that it is more than water weight or something though because to be up as much as I am and looking at my calories for the week it just doesn't add up. My stress levels are up a bit this week because I did schedule my gallbladder extravaganza and am not looking forward to it but that doesn't exactly explain a gain. It is what it is and as each week does Friday morning will tell the tale, this afternoon I will head off to the gym and get in a workout and the calories will be on target for the day as I am already off to a good start there.
Short and sweet is the post today and that's all she wrote, make sure to drink enough fluids and exercise as much as possible, Thanks for following along and don't forget to check in tomorrow to see what the damage is, whether I get back to the low or am up a bit.
You can now return to your regularly scheduled programs.

If I don't eat perfectly on plan I won't lose- it's so annoying :(
ReplyDeleteHang in there. It might take some time to recover from this little blip. Next week will be a sure win!
ReplyDeleteI understand your confusion and frustration.
ReplyDeleteI totally know where your coming from. Good luck on the scale tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteStress alone can have your body holding onto fluids...
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat it, just remember how far you have come so far...
I don't how you can not be incredibly discouraged. I am eating many more calories than you and discouraged that I don't see weight loss. I just don't know. It's still a lot less than I would normally eat. If I went down to 1500 I would surely lose. I would think, but then maybe not. How can you you not be is my question? Is this just a timing thing? Perhaps, right? You don't see a loss for a long time and then all of a sudden you do, no? I am so discouraged. How can you not be? What's the trick? What mindset, perspective do I need?
ReplyDeleteDon't give up- with all this working out and weight training, it could be your muscles are retaining water to help them repair - keep in mind that sometimes when working out regularly, our bodies might continue to lose fat, but also gain muscle... Have you tried measuring your waist/thigh/ hips/ chest? I think if you keep track of those measurements over time (weekly/biweekly), while you *occasionally* might get frustrated with the scale, the tape measure could become a friend...
ReplyDeleteI like what judipurple suggested. I think I need to start taking my measurements too. Hope you soon get the numbers you want.
