What an insanely crazy weekend!
I didn't even think once about writing because of it. SO not like me! My weigh in was Saturday morning as usual and doing IP is all about the journey, that's for sure! I had a loss of 2 lbs and 1.5 inches but no body fat loss (actually, it showed a gain which means my water was low and it affected the reading). That damned scale is so sophisticated yet if I eat wrong or don't drink enough my BF percentage will read wrong!
My coach is so damn smart though. She was reading my food journal (and I can't believe I actually write everything I eat and drink down...this is SO not like me!) and noticed I had LOTS more caffeine than usual and did not compensate my water intake for it. I also shorted myself on veggies that day...again so not like me! It completely compromised my loss so I've learned a valuable lesson. I will not short my water intake no matter how busy my day is and I will remember to drink an exact replacement of water for every cup of caffeinated drinks I have!
So she said for all the caffeine probably still racing through my system, trying to find its way out I did okay! I am not going to forget my water though.... I really do notice when I short myself and yesterday I started out that way and boy was my throat parched! I made up for it by last night and I feel so much better this morning. It really makes a difference in how your internal organs feel.
So this crazy weekend included a wedding, a big reception and then taking my MIL to the airport and then cooking up a storm for what my friends and I call Scotchtoberfest/Scottish Prom. I can't believe I managed to cook up so many bad foods (bad for me right now) in less than 3 hours! I did a good job not tasting or testing out the foods since I couldn't eat any of it! I'll certainly remember to make these things again when I can eat them though!
Just a quick note about my losses. I've been showing 2 to 3 lbs of loss per week as of late which is considered average for women. I was holding on a lot more this week (in part due to my lack of water and/or veggies) but then I had a huge meal of steak and veggies and I do a 1.3 lb drop in a day! I keep reading that shocking the system with a heavier, fattier meal (not crazy fatty but just heavier than usual) every once in a while helps one to lose weight. Well, I sure did it this weekend!
So weighing myself this morning on the scale I weighed 170.3 and showed a BF of 36.6% My BMI (which I really hold no stock in for my actual goals) is finally not in an obese but a 'high' normal range! My BF is just a 1.6% away from normal! I can't believe I'm that close to normal!
