So
I did my weigh in today and I was 219.4, up from 216 last week. In
trying to find a redeeming quality in my pounds, I looked at my body
fat, which has decreased by .5% since the last time I measured it, and
my muscle mass which has increased by 2 pounds or .1% (depending on how
you figure it, fitbit wants it in pounds and MFP I just do the
percentage on the scale) I did think about what someone
said about it sneaking up on me b/c of bad habits and I honestly don't
think that's it. I do think that it could be that I"m just eating out
way too much and since I'm sensitive to sodium it's made me retain extra
water. I feel puffy, but my 216 clothes are still fitting great. So,
more water (that seemed to help when I was eating out a lot) and get to
the grocery store to buy more food...we've been kind of "out" for
awhile. The way my body goes, I may be back down to 216 on Monday, but I'd like to be lower than that. I also wonder if my body just gets "worked up" and hangs on to the fat when I'm not eating enough. Last weekend was pretty dramatic exercise, but not a lot of calorie intake. I have been coming home from rides lighter than when I left, but I know I didn't drink enough water last weekend because I was in such a hurry on the trail and didn't want to stop to use the bathroom. And it was cool, so I wasn't as thirsty.
Onward and Upward I guess...no other choice.
