Weight has been fluctuating recently, stayed pretty normal, but it seems like I go through this short quick loss period, then put on a pound or two and hover there for a while. But I don't log my weight every day because I know there are so many factors. Especially recently, I have trained a lot and I am currently so sore in my quads and hamstrings that I can almost not move, I know the lactic acid builds and water retention happens. I also had a few not awesome food choices the past 2 days. The crossfit gym I am at is starting a nutrition challenge, and when you say it out loud, 30 days of strict paleo sounds so crazy...except that I do it most of the time anyway, but I freaked myself out and was like oh lets eat this before the challenge. Pfft. Since going back to teaching full time, my brain goes into this crazy mode where its like, I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WILL EAT AGAIN HURRY UP AND EAT. No brain, no. Not how it works, calm down. I have to work on keeping that voice down again.
Also had to buy new pants today, I dropped another 1 1/2 pant sizes or so, so my pants were pretty close to falling off and big baggy pants is not so attractive. Though, some of my students from last year didn't recognize me at first this year! I guess I really did change over the summer, sometimes I let my brain get the best of me and I actually sometimes think I look bigger than days or weeks before. MIND GAMES.
So, tomorrow starts the nutrition challenge at the crossfit gym, do not think I will be doing the benchmark workout tomorrow as my muscles clearly do not want to cooperate. But, I will start the day off by keeping a journal somewhere of my "start" weight even though it may be off from water retention and what not, and my measurements. And maybe pictures for myself to see. And I will try logging food again. I have to say, I did do pretty well with eating, but I'm very OCD so I like to know exact calories. But that also doesn't help on here because when I cook with EVOO or coconut oil, how much burned off, how much was absorbed, how much do i record, blah blah blah. I guess approximations are okay!
