I just don't get it. I'm keeping my cals below 1200 daily, eating clean, and exercising 5x per week for 45 mins. I don't understand why the scale is up again a half pound today. I went for drinks after work today with the girls, had 2 vodka cranberries and a dozen steamed shrimp for dinner. I really wanted the nachos but got the high protien, lower calories steamed shrimp instead.
Unfortunately, I ended up over my calorie limit today: coffee for bfast, PF Chang's shrimp dumpling appetizer for lunch, and of course the steamed shrimp for dinner along with drinks. Got home and I gave in and ate cherios, butterscotch chips, and walnuts b/c I had a major sweet tooth. I'm disappointed in myself for giving in. I also didn't work out today. I'll make up for it tomrrow and Saturday - so I'll still make my 5x per week. Just gave in today.......ugh!
Tomorrow I'm off, except for one conference call at 3pm. I plan to spend time outside, clean the house, maybe hubby and I might even go out for breakfast and enjoy a little time alone. We need it!
This scale has just GOT to move, I'm doing the right stuff. I realized tonight, however, that I'm very hungry between meals. My stomach growls. So I could use a fill. I'm going to get over my embarassment for not having lost more weight and schedule one. Fills cost me 150.00 each, so I only want to schedule these when I really need them. I thought I was in a good place, but now that my period is over, I'm realizing I probably could use a fill to get me to the next level.
I hope all of you have an amazing Easter weekend. I look forward to posting a lower weight soon!
Tomorrow...have a pig out day. Well...of course within reason...but that advice has worked for me every time!
ReplyDeleteWhat is up with us? I was up this morning to.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday weekend - we'll get there.
I have a fill scheduled for next Thursday - I don't need much just a little drop to give me a kick start.
Ahh hon,
ReplyDeleteThere might be a few factors to the scale going up again. Muscle - with all that exercising, maybe your muscles are streamlining and you HAVE to be toning up! Maybe it's hormonal - we carry water so darn easily, or maybe its just you showed from going over your cals (if its any consolation? I'm right where you are. I am up a half kilo which was tenuous to begin with .. I ate like a grot yesterday. Sooo bad.)
Knowing you though and how committed you are - you will jump right back on that wagon and that small gain will be gone. xx Have a happy easter.
Gilly - I pigged out - but only 'cause you said so!! LOL - I don't need much prodding for that! And Linda - this is really crazy for me. This kind of stall has never really happened to me before.
ReplyDeleteCara - I am toning up - for sure. So I know some of it is muscle building but sheesh - I should be losing SOMETHING for working this hard, you know? I KNOW that if I REALLY and HONESTLY do the right things the weight HAS to fall off. That's what is frustrating me. I'm NOT cheating. I'm exercising when I don't WANT to do it. I just don't understand why this has to be such a struggle!
Sometimes when I am frustrated with the scale I try on clothes that were too tight and see that they fit better, which proves the toning/building muscle mass thing that I know inside my head!
