Week 3

Week 3:

Weight Change: +.8 lbs

Wow, I gained this week. I'm pretty pissed. I worked out even harder than last week, and did very well on keeping tract of all my food. I have talked to a couple of people about this and there are a few ideas:

1. I'm just starting my period

2. I've been a little swollen w/ the extra working out

3. I was a little constipated

4. I didn't work out on Friday night (this is my idea, no one else thought this was the problem)

5. I didn't keep track properly and I really should have gained the weight

6. muscle

So, after a small inital meltdown (yes, sobbing in the car), and a minor food binge on Sat night, I am still on track. Even with the extra food on Sat, I have been doing well and working out and keeping track of all my food. I am definitely nervous now for my next weigh in, which is unfortunate since last week I was practically looking forward to getting on the scale. My counselor reminded me that this is a long term committment, and there will be weeks that I don't lose and I have to be able to move past them and not dwell or "fall off the wagon". So, I'm trying hard not to freak out.

This is a short post, but I didn't have a chance to write earlier, and it wasn't a great week, so I'm not feeling too motivated to write.

Wish me luck next week.
