So, this week has been stressful but I have been pretty good food-wise...to a point. I will admit to an Oreo binge after a pretty bad day at work on Monday, but it was 6 Oreos, not a whole packet. On Tuesday I started working out again, and while my fitness is still not what I want it to be, I'm building it up. I worked out again on Wednesday.
I weighed myself this morning and I had...put on a kilo. WHAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?!?! I've been so vigilant with my diet (apart from the slip-up), so it was bewildering. But then I recall something I saw on the Dr Oz show and he said that after exercising you can hold water for up to about three days so might be heavier because of it. That's never happened to me before but it's entirely possible. And besides, the scales aren't that accurate- you can lose a pound just by having a decent poop!
So I will start taking my measurements as well because that's more important than a number on the scales.

Always weigh yourself AFTER a poop! LOL. That's what I do! Oy, it is so hard to lose. I couldn't go to the gym while attending these all day classes, so I ran up stairs instead of walking slowly and took a longer, harder route up the hill from the subway home. Not really losing, but at least the gaining seems to be stopped for now. Tomorrow back to the gym. If I gain the next day (NOOOooooo!), I'll think of what you just said.
ReplyDeleteEvery little bit of activity counts. I found that when I was losing before, it was when my incidental activity was up. When I wasn't doing as much, boy did I pack on the pounds!
