Well I really took advantage of my FREE day again and I think I ate almost an entire pan of cocoa Krispie treats! My children and husband got a few but not many! LOL!
I indulged in wine...late dinner, cereal, FUN!
The scale punished me with 124.4 today but I think I should be back down to 123 tomorrow and 122 the following day. It's all water metabolism anyway.
I did have a LONG conversation with my Dad though about what is going on with my body and that I am really FIGHTING 122 down to 119. He says that I am fighting more than basic math.....ESPECIALLY with my bodyfat at 12.7%. This also comes froma man that worries about my low blood sugar issues bcz it landed me in teh ER once with a serious head injury. WHOOPS. Anyway,....DAD, MY HUSBAND, MY GIRLFRIENDS ALL say stay where I am and be happy with it.
I look in the mirror and I am perfectly happy but tell me there are some perfectionists out there that understand the need to just push the envelope. It's 3 more lbs for Christ's sake. I want to just get there and then I PROMISE I'll quit....
The problem is that my body is going into starvation mode...silly since I am not eating less than 1200-1400 a day. BUT I am adding a LOT of exercise.
I think I am to the point of changing to mostly protein and no simple carbs until I get there. OR really dropping my calories to push through and then just maintaining. BUT maintaining will be pretty much what I have been over the last 2 weeks. I can't complain though...I eat what I want within reason...I just try and make sure my macronutrients are reasonable and in balance and my calories are withing that range. I can do that as maintenance without feeling deprived no problem.
SO....I think I am NOT listening to the fam/friends and pushing the 3lbs and seeing if I can do it. My body may just say NO...which it has beeen for the last few weeks but I want to tweak a LITTLE more and try again! GOTTA!
Good luck to all and if anyone has had this struggle...please tell me how you pulled through it!!
