Not slippin' on the diet... Okay, I AM slippin' on the diet... but that's not what the title of this post refers to.
I'm referring to me slipping on this blog.
It's been a few days since my last entry. Here's the basic rundown (for the none of you who are curious). As my last post mentions, I did pretty well in my first week... although my weird body issues wouldn't really allow me to accept and enjoy that. Still, I stayed after it.
Sunday rolled around. This was supposed to be my "cheat day". I spent it at home with the family for the most part... and since we really don't have any bad food in the house, I did really well through most of the day. In the afternoon, I was invited to go play basketball with some friends, which I did.
It was a blast to get out and run. We played for a couple of hours and I definitely burned a ton of calories. So... on my way home, tired and starved, I decides to grab my "cheat meal". Taco Time. I got home, weighed in, and then tore into my food wile watching my DVR'd copy of the Pro Bowl (Go Hawks!).
So... here's where the mental fatigue begins. Of course after a day of healthy eating and vigorous exercise, my weight had dropped significantly from the day before. Mostly water, but still... the scale was glowing beneath me like rays of sunshine. And then Taco Time. And the usual re-hydration...
And well, the next morning was an astronomical jump in weight. Not just the water I expected, but a couple additional lbs. I'm sayin', my poundage sprang back up to a higher mark than I had seen 3 or 4 days prior. Depression.
I 've been trying ever since to work it back down, but I've had a VERY busy week at work. So no gym time whatsoever. I have been fairly meticulous on my eating, but the result has been a super-slow drop in weight as the week has progressed.
Bummer.
