Scale and product endorsement: which product did me in :(

Posted on August 6, 2014

Ok, so this is more of a vent and a "I know it's not real weight gain" post. So, yesterday and the day before 129.6.....so that's what I weigh since I wear a Bodymedia armband and I pushed yesterday I know I created a 1500 calorie deficit...so no weight gain.

Yesterday I ate two things I don't 'normally' eat. I had four bowls of the sugar free jelly belly snow cone stuff....now last week I actually was doing unsweetened almond milk and shaving that in my ice shaver as a fake ice cream with some splenda (by the way delicious and caused no side effects as I'm about to discuss) and yesterday I discovered in my parents house "slap ya mama" seasoning which tasted so very very good...however, high in sodium (which I haven't been putting salt on anything in the past two weeks). And this morning .... bamb 133.6. I know it's water weight but wtf...really. That pissed me off...really I worked out that hard yesterday and I gained 4 pounds really scale...really :P

So, if anyone hasn't picked up on my ocd personality: I couldn't sleep all that well after this morning 4 am weigh in when I discovered that unpleasant number: so here I am today determined. I'm not eating the jelly belly sugar free stuff today or slap ya mamma seasoning...instead I have almond milk freezing in the ice cups and I'm going to detox and hit another very hard day of working out. I'm determined to at least lose 1.5 lbs this week for the entire week since last week I lost 3. My rest day is Saturday so, I'm hitting it hard again today. Just completed T25 total body. I'm going to jump rope, do insanity pure cardio (or the warm up a few times) and when PiYo comes in today do the first dvd of the series. Oh yeah...its on like donkey cong scale :) You pissed off the wrong woman today.

So, until I know further data (which I will test one day next week) I'm not endorsing slap ya mama seasoning or jelly belly sugar free syrup for the ice machine :) Next week once I'm lower, I'm going to try the seasoning on a day all by itself (even though high in sodium) and see what it does to me the next day. And then if it does nothing then I might try the jelly belly sugar free stuff and see what that does (however, if I have no reaction to the slap ya mamma then I might just say its the jelly belly....stupid water weight.

Anyway, good thoughts and I'm eager to check out the PiYo which should be here around 4 today.

Okay, this might be a crazy but I have my husband hide the scale after my weekly weigh in Saturday morning. If he doesn't I would constantly be on that thing. Weighing in (especially if I gained through the week) affects my mood and personality in a not so positive way. Just a thought for all you daily weighers.

Whenever I eat Thai food, I always gain 2-4 pounds... even if I stay in my calories. It is always gone in about 2 days. Because of this, I avoid salty food the two days prior to my token an round weigh-ins. I also HATE weighing in around shark week... If you look at the chart, you can see some shark week spikes... boo

I am in the same boat! Maybe it was the pasta I ate Monday, but that scale is a creepin' in the wrong direction. I'm going to try to pick one day a week to weigh in, since I know our bodies can fluctuate a bunch. Still... easier said than done.

Hang in there and keep crushing it!

Oh wow that's a huge jump! Did you see all the crazy stuff I ate over the weekend?....and I only gained 3 lbs from that and lost 2 of it back overnight into Tuesday. That's crazy girl! How much sodium is in that stuff? lol . You know you shouldn't stress tho, but of course I'm one to talk because I'm pretty sure you and I are very similar in personalities =) It'll come right back off. Then again, maybe you're pushing yourself too hard exercise wise? idk. Could be so many different things. You'll figure it out. Or maybe I spiked your food with fat & salt so that I could catch up with your weight?! Muahahahaaa!!
