I took in 1582 calories and got on the Elliptical for 32 minutes. So stats wise, it was a good day and I should be encouraged. I made the mistake, though, of sneaking on to the scale tonight -- I do this more often than I should -- and saw more of a gain than I expected to see at that time of day.
I weigh myself frequently during the week, and then have one "official" weigh-in on Friday mornings. I know I shouldn't weigh myself more than once a week so I don't obsess about That Number, but I do it any way. And I know that it will fluctuate a lot throughout the day based on what comes in and what goes out -- I'm not the kind of person who flips out when I see a jump on the scale after eating a high-sodium meal and drinking a lot of water... :}
So there are a few things that would explain it. I did have a meal that was probably high in sodium last night; TTOM is threatening to start, and I haven't had a good BM yet today. (TMI, I know, but there it is.) So I'll drink more water tomorrow and hope things, well, "move along" before Friday morning.
And now I have to figure out how to narrow it down to only 5 Blogs out of the several excellent ones I follow to give this Award to! I'll probably post that tomorrow -- I do need to get SOME sleep tonight! :)
I'm a chronic weigher too! I like being able to "track" what foods affect me (like the high sodium) so I know to avoid them. As long as it doesn't upset you, I don't see anything wrong with Keepin an eye on it!
ReplyDeleteI posted about this exact thing recently! My thinking is that it isn't bad to weigh yourself all the time as long as it doesn't upset you. I like to weigh myself every day but I was getting a little obsessed so I'm taking a break for a few days. It sounds like you're doing well, t hough!
ReplyDeleteI weigh every day in the morning post-output. It is not to see a different number, but to gain control over the scale's influence on my mood and my motivation. The only one that counts is my official weigh in on Monday (although I send it in to Allan on Sunday for the challenge).
ReplyDeleteBut never, I mean never weight at night. Bad things happen when you weigh at night. / horror movie music
