So here's something weird that I have noticed in the past when I lost weight, and am also noticing now... when I work out all the time, I don't lose weight so much, but then if I skip a couple of workouts, I wind up losing a pound or two. I have no idea why this works this way, but I have a couple of theories.
First, when I work out a lot, I eat more. When I don't do a workout, I'm much more watchful with what I eat because I know I'm not working out and can't justify extra cookies (which I can't anyway - it's all a weird head game). When I do work out, I'm all "yeah, well, I worked out for 45 minutes today, so let's break out the M&M's..."
I guess I wind up eating more calories than I burned off with my weird thinking. A friend of mine says that weight loss is 75% nutrition and 25% exercise. I don't know what to think. I eat a ton more when I work out and I seem to lose more weight when I don't do crazy workouts.
So I guess I still need to figure it out and see what works. It's just a strange thing to notice.
My mom is visiting and I'm surviving. I did break into the ice cream yesterday, and downed about 100 animal crackers today, but I'm still doing ok, I guess. I need to get over this whole stress eating thing.
Anyway, that's the update. I was 239 this morning. Yay for me, I guess.
