I weighed in at 147 this morning, hoping to be back around 145. Felt discouraged & disappointed in myself, especially since I've been snacking (only on healthy food... well, and an ounce of dark chocolate) when I feel hungry. Hungry = eat, so I eat and try not to feel guilty about it.
Up 1.5 pounds from 3 weeks ago.
I looked at my belly this morning in the mirror. It's almost flat. The fat is going away so obviously the weight is coming from somewhere else. Hopefully it's all the muscle I'm building, given I was able to set PRs on half your exercises last workout without losing form. And I wore my khakis last week, which I haven't worn in a while, and they were pretty baggy in the waist. Those are my smallest pair of 10s I have. So I'm down to 2 pairs of work pants & 2 pairs of jeans that fit me properly, confirmation that what I'm doing is working.
Last time I gained weight & felt super-strong, I subsequently lost a couple pounds after 5 weeks of stagnation. It's coming.
