Too much of a good thing?
I lost 4 pounds this week. And I'm not entirely happy about it.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm happy to read 150.6 on the scale, but that's twice the amount I should have lost! Will is stay off? That is tbd.
This could be my body finally recovering from the 3-Day. Or the fact that I lowered my calorie allowance by 100 this past week (I went from 1300 a day to 1200 a day).
Since I'm not burning thousands of calories on training walks now, I posed that "Are you going to eat less or work out more" question to myself and decided on "eat less."
This could also be one of those weeks when I have a big loss before biology attacks me and I gain or don't lose because I'm a woman. (I can talk in euphemism!)
I'll take the number of course - happily. I would just wish I could feel like it was more permanent. So much of a good thing rarely is, after all.
But maybe it will be! That would be AWESOME!
