I'm getting into that paranoid, "nothing I do is working" stage again. I haven't been super strict with my calories lately, so I started working out an extra 30 minutes at night, AND I'm going to be super strict with them from now on. I think my body is used to what I'm doing, so, yeah. Plus, I've really been knocking back the water. But every day, the scale only goes up. I've been doing a lot of weight lifting for my arms, but I wouldn't see muscle forming only a week in, right? My arms are pretty sore, too, so I guess I could be retaining water.
This is only one of the minor annoyances of everyday weighing. I normally don't mind it because I know my body's pattern by now, but this is newish. I've been holding around this weight since about April 9th.
I'm just so because I did so well last night, and it seems like getting back to 161 is soo much harder than it was the first time. I went up today to 168.6 when yesterday I was 166 exactly. I'm not due to start my period, either, so...water retention from sore muscles, you think?
