Weirdness
I am not sure if any of you have ever had this happen but I will go lets say a week of good eating and exercising. Then I will get to the weekend and I will stop eating as well *not horrible* and no exercising to really speak of and then Monday comes around and I assume I will have gained at least a little weight but instead I lost a couple of pounds. I really don't understand why this happens.
Really I just don't get how I can lose weight during times when I am eating worse then during the week when I am eating better. |
The reason you are losing is because while you are working out you are building muscle and muscle retains water. When you let go, you let go of that water. It's the water weight you are losing.
|
I really am not sure about that because as lame as this might sound I tend to drink way way way more water when I am not working out then when I am. So I am not really sure its water weight.
|
If you are eating too little calories during the week, when you eat more on the weekends your body will tend to let go of the weight easier. If not, then I don't know. But that's pretty cool. Don't question it, it might go away, haha.

I don't think you instantly lose weight eating correctly and excersising, it takes a few day to register. You might sweat out some water but it doesn't instatly disapear. Some weeks, I workout all week with no loss to show for it then the next week, I'll get back to my regular, 3 or 4 times, and I'll have a huge loss. Thats why its not good to weigh all the time becaue you want an over all look at your loss, not the daily fluxuations.

I have had the same thing happen to me before. I can have wonderful eating habits and live very healthfully or weeks and see very little weight loss, and then I'll get frustrated, so to Mcdonald's (or Wendy's or order Chinese or have a ton of pizza--you name it), and then that week, I'll actually LOSE more! I will never understand it, and I cannot completely explain it, but I know it only happens when those bad eating days don't last too long--like if I did it for a few weeks in a row, I would surely gain. I think it just wakes up our bodies, ya know? They say that to break a palteau, you should change your eating and/or exercise habits to shake things up, so I think that has something to do with it--you start feeding your body more junk food at a point when it has become used to much less, and it is therefore more efficient at burning that junk than it was before. However, it won't be able to keep up for long, so we have to get back on track before the bad eating takes its toll!

Have to agree with Jennie and Jillybean here. I think your loss is just the weeks good eating and excercise catching up to you. Although I agree that mixing up your excercise and cals a bit like Jillybean mentions keeps your bidy "on its toes" so to speak. If whatever you are doing is working why change it. SJ |
