The really irritating part is my calories averaged EXACTLY what they averaged the past 3 weeks when I had losses so the whole "calories in vs calories out" is BS!!!!
We did a 'hell week' this week and I'm terribly sore and inflamed (I had to soak in an epsom salt bath this morning and I'm going to need to pop ibuprofen to function today) I think burning 5000 calories is pretty freakin' good. Grrrrrrrrr
I am catching up...honestly the one with your hawaii skirt had me laughing my dh thought I'd lost my mind...and while I couldn't eat the eggs I have to admit they were adorable...and look like I could actually pull off making them myself. Have a good weekend.
kick that scales butt!!! sometimes it is our friend, sometimes our worst enemy.... teach it a lesson next week!!! You are rockin it and some tiny bit of metal can't take you down!!!
On Saturday mornings I always love pulling up your blog on my phone to see how things went! You're an inspiration even on tough weeks.
You're really the pro here, but one thing that jumped in my mind when you mentioned how sore your muscles are was whether you refuel right after a workout? Chocolate milk has gotten a lot of hype recently for its ideal protein/carb ratio - I've tried it a lot in the past few months after particularly long/fast/brutal runs...and I do think it's helped my muscles recover better.
Possibly worth a shot if you don't do this already? Wouldn't necessarily be a calorie addition - just swapping something else out for an additional ~150-200 recovery calories post workout?

ReplyDeleteThe up bounces are irritating, but you know a down bounce is coming! Hang on for it!

Maybe you're up two because of the inflamed muscles? I know sore muscles will definitely retain fluid. *hugs*

ReplyDeleteque Rocky music...
I'm not gonna offer any suggestions...you've been at this game longer than me and know your body better than any of us.
ReplyDeleteHope the scale reflects your hard work next week!
