I'd like to start off with saying that this was an expected gain as each weekly weigh in previously has been after a significant fast, 24+ hours usually, while I was in Ketosis. Now that I am eating carbs, I expect to see hills and valleys that are both above my previous lowest weight. I do not see this as a set back as I am certain most of the weight is the increase of glycogen and water within my body's muscles.
Today was the first day of the new diet and exercise plan. I noticed an increase in weight and/or reps for each exercise I did with the exception of push ups as apparently I worked my arms harder than usual and couldn't muster the strength to complete a singular push up. Definitely feel the burn in my entire upper body. Today was primarily an upper body day with some light core involvement. Tomorrow will be core and lower body. I am not overly concerned about my lower body as I have strong legs, but the core is important so I definitely want to make sure that gets a strong work out. (I know about all of the memes about skipping leg day. Don't worry I'll get calves the size of a tree trunk just yo wait.)
On a side note. Holy crap is that many calories hard to eat. When eating whole foods, the size of the meal is just so large. I'm so used to eating small, high fat meals that are so dense with calories. Throwing up the protein and carbohydrates has really increased the size of the meals. I also realize that my Whey protein isn't going to stretch nearly as far so I may need to be prepared to buy some bulk when it is on sale. I very much enjoyed my protein shake after my work out.
With all of that said. Now commences that daily weigh ins once again. I expect it to vary daily, but as long as the measurements show fat loss I couldn't care less about weight gain. I'm perfectly fine with losing 10 inches around my waist and weighing the same as I do now.
