BrandyRelaxing's Journal, 20 July 2011

I was reading some articles that K8yk posted on her FB page yesterday, and some of them might explain my gain a few weeks ago.

Why Big Caloric Deficits AND lots of activity can hurt fat loss and about the Long-Term Delayed Fat Loss Effect

Both were quite interesting and lead me to really think about how my body works, and if I want to achieve my goals, what I need to be doing. In the first article it talked about people who are "stress cases" and how that impacts how they lose weight. I'm thinking that is who I am. I have more stress than the average person, but overall don't really have that hard of a life. I'm going to have to work on that. Trying to be a little more "go with the flow" and not needing to control all parts of my life. Of course, saying that is MUCH easier than doing it, so we'll see how it goes when I next see a disappointing week!

So other than that, yesterday was a decent calorie day. I know today will be higher because we're going out to a restaurant and as much as I can pick the best meal off the fixed menu, it still may not be that great.
