So I cheated BIG TIME...and lost weight!
I was stuck on the same one or two pounds for the past two weeks. I'd lose a pound, then gain 0.8. I'd lose 1.5 pounds and then gain 1.2. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, as I was on plan the entire time.
I had a rough week, so I wasn't able to go to the gym for the past four days (my aunt was in a bad car accident, so we've been at the hospital and also running errands/paying bills for her since she won't be home for several months). Friday night, a friend asked me to go out for supper and I felt like I really needed to go and get my mind off of everything else. I did not stay on plan AT ALL. We shared nachos before dinner and then I had a giant steak covered in bleu cheese, roasted potatoes and green beans (also covered in cheese). Last night, I decided to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and whipped cream. It was so good, I had a second cup.
I got on the scale this morning fully expecting to have gained weight, but I lost 1.6 pounds! So weird that I haven't exercised in days AND ate a whole bunch of extra calories and finally got past the 236 mark I was stuck at.
