After a day of bad eating, when people get on the scale and see they "gained," I'm always the first to remind them that it's just water retention, and to eat clean and drink water and their weight will stabilize. I really believe it when I say it to them, but it is so much harder to accept when it's me!!
Last week I got off track in several ways. I missed workouts on Wednesday and Thursday, so I did go to the gym on Friday, my usual rest day, but I didn't feel like I worked as hard as I could have. I ate pretty badily on Friday. I had a planned YOLO meal for dinner already, but I also indulged at work with all the goodies brought in for Valentine's day--a couple chocolate chip cookies, two Fannie Mae candies, and a piece of chicken, some fries, and biscuit from Popeye's for lunch.
I knew the scale would be bad yesterday morning, and it was. It read 5 lbs higher. I knew this was water and not a good judge of my real weight. I ate well yesterday, I did a killer hour and 15 minute workout.
I was looking forward to the scale this morning cause I felt lighter, but it only showed a 2lb drop. Still up 3 lbs from the beginning of the week. Just gotta keep doing what I'm doing, and hopefully tomorrow or the next day everything will stabilize. I'm just so impatient and I want it gone now!!!
Oh well, off to have a healthy breakfast, go workout, and finally after saying we were going to for months, go and look at tuxedos for the wedding!
