I know, easier said than done.  |
Thanks Anne... it's just SO hard to understand how a couple hundred (MAYBE 1000 at most) kcals can do this to the scale. I know some is water / salt / hormonal crap, but... c'mon!

I think it's that trending thing again, meaning the low (for me) is a little unrealistic, so the gain from the "mistake" seems ridiculous. Hopefully you'll even out somewhere in between. Or just keep losing on the good track that you've been on and not worry about it! |
I'm trying... I'm really hoping that tomorrow's scale reading is better. And I'm trying not to cut calories even further when I KNOW that would be too far under for my health. I lifted today and did karate, so I have (right now) about 100 kcal left to eat and part of me wants to "suffer" and starve, but I should eat. I probably will... not so good at suffering without food!

Ok....this freaked me out...130?! Some really nice numbers in there in this workout! Makes me wanna work harder...
Don't be upset about the lbs...maybe it's just the salt!! You're doing so well...and as long as it doesn't go the other way...you've still LOST that 1#!!! |
Thanks Sidonia... I was a little freaked about "forbidden" too! And the 130# - it's less than I weigh, right? I can pull some heavy weights sometimes, but I do think it's because I've been lifting for so long - even if I wasn't doing it as effectively as I am now.
And you're right... 1# is better than gaining a pound, right?
Ugh.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE scale, give me a nice weigh-in tomorrow... I could use it...
