This morning I got up to weigh feeling very hesitant to step on the scale. I’ve not been doing so well with my food intake at night and I’m also on my period so I knew I was bloated and the number was going to be off. I’m hoping that next week has a better number and think that most of what is there is bloat anyhow. But here it is. My weight this week is:
318.5
Yup, that’s up 2 lbs from last week and 3.5 overall. I’m hoping this trend does not continue or all of my hard work from 2 years ago will be reversed. I can’t and won’t get back there.
Good news though, I did do my 65 mins of exercise for last week, so I get to put $5 in savings for a futon! Next week’s exercise goal is also 65 mins. If I can do it again I will begin to add strength training back in. The more muscle I have the higher my metabolism. Right now I know that my metabolism is really slow. I’m making progress!
My food was pretty good for calories, but for balance it was crap. This week that changes too. I’m making a meal plan for this week that will make certain that I’m balanced daily so that this weight will come off and next week’s weigh in will be in the right direction!
Next week I’m going to do a change in the way I distribute my calories through the day. I’ve found that by the time I get home from work that I’m starving and it’s a disaster for my eating as well as late night metabolism is already slower. I’m going to flop the bulk of my calorie intake to be breakfast and lunch times and have dinner be a lighter fare. This should help me in several areas. I shouldn’t be voracious when I get home from work and my daytime metabolism has to be higher than in the evening so I should be able to burn what I’m consuming then. This means larger breakfasts and lunches with snacks at work during break.
How did I do?
Average Calories: 1813/under 2000 (goal met!)
Average Water: 50 oz/80 oz ( I need 80 or more!)
Minutes of cardio: 65/65 (goal met!)
Next Week’s Goals:
Average calories under 1900
Average water at or above 80 oz
Minutes of cardio at or above 65

It’s impossible to get the balance and the calorific intake right 100% of the time and you’re going to have fun with your weight at that dreaded time of the month.
You’re doing fine and I think that you’ll have lost all of that 3.5 lbs by next week 
Go girl!
Thanks Alex, I will keep working at it. We’ll see what next week brings!
I know that when you start exercising more than usual your’re more likely to retain water, that might be part of your gain this week. As for increasing your water intake I find that if I use a straw for my water I drink more – might be worth a try. Keep up the good work
So I’m retaining water because of that time of the month, and because of more exercise, and probably because my water intake was down last week. Yay for me. Water weight is easy to lose. Thanks for the tip!
You are on the right track with switching up the bulk of your calories towards the earlier part of the day. To keep that metabolism stimulated, you are better off eating every 3-4 hours (3 meals and a couple snacks). I know when I finally started eating my largest caloric intake at lunch versus dinner, I started seeing the weight drop. I clearly do better this way. Hang in there – time of the month sucks and honestly you have to ignore the scale. Good job on the exercise!
Thanks Robin. I know that something has to work sooner or later. I’m not giving up on living a healthier life!
