Ok, so maybe I'm just venting my frustration... the logical part of me knows there could be a million different reasons that my body likes to lose and regain the same 3 pounds... BUT the illogical part of me is frustrated. LOL.
I've just recently started working out (last week) and I know I need to give my body time to adjust. However, that didn't stop me from hoping that my new level of activity would show some losses on the scale. Before I started exercising I was slowly, but steadily, losing weight. Now my scale is stuck and inching up...
My caloric intake should be fine. I range between 1600-1700 calories a day (while my Fitday says I can eat 1770 with a sedetary lifestyle.) So I don't think it is that...
I've heard people retain water when they exercise so their muscles can repair themselves... so it could be that. But it's still discouraging. Mostly I'm just trying not to think about it. The exercise itself really is making me feel great and my clothes aren't any tighter... Patience is a virtue, right?
I guess I just knew I could vent to you guys. Thanks!
