Who wants TMI from Thistle?
Anybody? You in the back? No? Oh. Well, I did promise I would post the results of my cheat day so I shall share regardless. I hadn't forgotten about posting it; I was just putting it off waiting for a clearer answer one way or the other.
T - 1350 - 158.4 (NROLFW, bike ride)
F - 3200ish - 158.8
S - 1660 - 159.4 (Zumba, NROLFW)
S - 1180 - 159.8
M - 1540 - 159.0 (Bodyflow)
T - 1560 - 157.8
W - 1740 - 158.6 (NROLFW, short walk)
Today - planning on 1500ish - 157.6 (planning on 5k walk/jog)
It looks to me like the weight went up due to sodium and came right back to 158ish. The 157 doesn't really excite me as I've seen it a few times here and there the last few weeks. It always goes back up to 158-159.
I should be eating 1665 on non-workout days and 2058 on workout days to lose weight according to the NROLFW book. I haven't been able to follow this advice on account of I have a mental block about the size of Pluto. (Demoted or not, it's still big.) I have managed to up them in general. I was eating in the range of 1200-1500. (Seriously, that 1700 day yesterday was a big victory for me.
)
So right now my problems are these:
1. My plateau. Possibly it is broken? Possibly not. If today's weight holds then, yay, I'll finally have lost a pound! If it doesn't, well, on to week 7 and MOAR PATIENCE!1
2. I honestly think my body needs more fuel. There are days I feel exceptionally weak and exhausted. Sometimes I feel lightheaded, my concentration tanks, and I haven't been sleeping well which for me is a sure sign something is up because my sleep is generally pretty blissful. I think the NROLFW recommendations are closer to what I should be eating if I'm going to continue.
My plan going forward is to eat at maintenance for a week starting Sunday. I am putting it off until Sunday simply because my period ought to be over by then and thus won't be further mudding the waters. (Oh, yeah. I didn't mention that, did I? I've had mid-cycle bleeding from May 14th to June 1st when my real period took over. Usually when I have mid-cycle bleeding (which my doctor has assured me is nothing sinister) it does not continue after my period proper.) Anyway, after that I plan to try to stick more closely to the NROLFW numbers.
6/8 ETA - Weighed in at 156.6 this morning! I'm not convinced it was the cheat meal or not but I am so thrilled to see a new number!
for you all!!
Of course you can join in. Glad to have you. And look at you so close to moving on to the 140s! You'll rock it out when you hit it this time.
