Rough Weekend
I have had a rough couple of days on the weight loss front. Last Monday, I did a program with LA Weight Loss called Take Off. I’m not allowed to publish the details of this program since it is proprietary information. Basically, it is a two day, very low calorie “cleanse”. It is supposed to rev up your metabolism and help you take off some extra weight rapidly. I lost 2.5 pounds over the two day program. That, of course, was great news, I’ll take any loss I can get.
The trouble started Friday. I weighed, as I normally do, in the morning prior to going in to the center. I do this to prevent any suprises. To my horror, I had gained 10 pounds! Well, I had been following my diet to the letter other than a slip up with one eggroll, and it takes 3500 extra calories to gain one pound. So, no eggroll on earth is 35,000 calories.
I knew it must be water weight, but it was still terribly disappointing and hard to take. I feel like I have been the model dieter. I have followed my program and exercised 6-7 days a week for 6 weeks. To have my body react in this way seemed cruel and unusual.
After a lot of tears, soul searching and internet research I decided that I just need to hide the scale, bump up my B vitamins, and increase my water intake.
So, hopefully, when I weigh in tomorrow, I will find that the gain is gone and I can resume losing again.
Wish me luck!
