weight loss is a mystery sometimes...

So... I had three weeks back on plan... eating exactly as dictated and working out 5 x's a week (walking dvd or Lateral Thigh trainer for 45-60 mins).

The first 2 weeks I lost.

The third week I stalled.

Then this week... I made cupcakes for work and had one cupcake and 2 licks of my homemade frosting to test it...

yesterday, I had a valentine's day cookie made by my friend.

I was doing so many different things this week (acupuncture last night, teaching crochet the night before, cupcake making the night before that)... that so far this week, I have only worked out 2x's.

I stepped on the scale-- and I'm down 2 lbs.

So is it that I wasn't eating enough and exercising too much last week?

or that this week the stubborn lb from last week was ready to finally go?

I'm not complaining... I ate a cupcake and lost!

but... kind of confused!

It is funny isn't it?

but as one who weighs herself every morning I've notice that I sometimes show a loss the day after a binge (maybe all that lifting of the fork burns calories ) but a few days later will show the gain (like maybe the traveling to my hips takes time!).

Hang in there, you're doing great!

Could be!

Our bodies are so strange sometimes that it's anybody's guess.  But, if you're working out a lot more than usual, you should also be eating more; otherwise, your body is going to go into famine mode & conserve whatever fuel it can. 

Congrats on your losses!!  You are doing great!
