Lunch - 1st half of my spinach salad with chicken breast, baby carrots, cottage cheese, dressing, bacos

Snack - 2nd half of my spinach salad as above

Think the beef jerky got me last night, salt-wise. Only at 100 calories of it, but drank like a camel later. :drool5:

Seems I've hit a plateau...

It's weird, every time I have to exercise I jump up 2-3 pounds, hover for a while, then come back down. Is it really possible to stimulate 2-3 pounds of mucle hypertrophy/water gain from a single workout? This little jump up and hold hit right after I ran dogs around the ring for 2 days in a row. This equates to a near sprint for me numerous times as I had to go in the ring 3-4 times with each dog which equates to 16 sprint laps back to back to back :willy_nilly: with me getting up and down off my knees to stack the dogs in between. Actually quite a nice cardio workout - 20 minutes of explosive manuvers in the heat. I was sweating, that's for sure. My legs are just now not hurting, so obviously was a bit of a workout for me.

Just curious. Otherwise I'll trump it up to a typical weight loss plateau and I'll keep on course. This too shall pass.

Breakfast: Oatmeal/splenda BS/skim milk
Snack: Yogurt 170 calories, 6 pistachios
Lunch: Tuna/crackers/low cal mayo - 250 calories, 2 dried apricots

I don't know about the physiology of it but I similarly put on pounds whenever I do a lot of lifting. Also I have a 3 Story house and I imagine I have added some leg muscle with all the walking up and down the stairs while I have been working on my patio.

It seems that the only exercising that I can do without putting on pounds is walking, rowing and cycling.
 
Well, that's good to hear. Makes sense and really, in the scheme of things, the weight increase was 1% of my body weight, but still frustrating when you feel you're eating right, are feeling pretty good, think maybe just maybe your belly doesn't look quite so big/maybe a little looser and you watch that weight jump up and sit there. :cuss: Hehehe, plan to keep on keeping on, hoping that the fat is still coming off at a nice slow steady rate.

Snack: Granola bar 130 calories, 30 calories of trail mix

Coming back down again slowwwwwwwwwwly.

Snack: Granola bar, 2 oz mixed nuts, 3 dehydrated apricots

Lunch: 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwich, half a hot dog, 1 C cottage cheese, baby carrots, diet coke

Snack: Handful grapes

Dinner will be roughly 500-600 calories of pizza
 
Bad diet day today, dog show and poor planning. Donut for breakfast, slice of pizza for lunch (only things on offer there, like I said, poor planning on my part).

Dinner tonight chicken breast with more salt than I intended (a dash of chicken boullion turned into a bit more than that, whoops!) and a lettuce salad with cottage cheese, bacos, dressing.

CW was 282 today at a not typical time for weighing. Tomorrow should prove to be a depressing weighin - running numerous times around the ring coupled with my salt intake today is sure to jump that up substantially. :ack2:

Back to the show tomorrow. Let's see if I can remember to pack food to avoid temptation. :reddevil:
 
CW 282.6

Skipped the donut today in favor of oatmeal.
Had a piece of pizza for lunch.
Snack - some trail mix, peanut butter/banana sandwich.
Will probably skip dinner in favor of a snack, given lunch.

Been running my patookus off the last 2 days showing 2 dogs in 4 shows. My right foot and knee have had it, time to rest a bit.

Alright, time to take the weight back DOWN.

Really quite frustrated to be sitting here bouncing about the 282s. Don't think I'm eating that much and certainly MUCH better than I ate previous to starting this diet. Hoping it's related to all the running this weekend, but I appear to be stalled. Need to go shopping myself. Hubby, who has the house husband job, has taken to doing the grocery shopping for us, but the choices are...different. Seems like there isn't anything more in the house after he shops than there was before.

Still devoted though, sorry have been too busy to update this week, but am still trying!

Pulled the badge out of the signature. Yeah, too much to see on each post, especially since I'm the only one posting here, for the most part. LOL

However, I will get to post my new badge at each new level earned, so that will mean more, right?
