I'm sorry I've been so needy lately, and it's up one day and down the next. This is where the last time I gave up. Thankfully, this time my goal is one year, not X pounds.
I'm encouraging myself with a bit of logic and I would like to know if my logic is good or faulty. I think I want to know. Bah! I don't know if I want an answer to this or not, but here it is anyway.
Here's my battle:
I added exercise a few weeks ago. I gained, or maintained really, the expected 2 lbs or so. I knew it was water retention, blah, blah, but it doesn't matter. It's still hard! Being my typical self, I increased the exercise. The scale is of course not loving that.
Yesterday I had an amazing workout and did HIIT (high intensity interval training). It's supposed to burn some amazing calories for up to 48 hours.
Yesterday morning: 202.4
Yesterday evening: 203.4
This morning: 203.2
So I'm wondering...my legs hurt this morning, which surprised me because I didn't lift, I ran. But I feel like I did 100 squats. Would it be wrong of me to play a mental game with myself and tell myself I'm retaining maybe 2 lbs of water and my weight just might really be 201.2???? Or is that faulty thinking.
That kind of thinking might get me over this hump.
I just hate this!
