Hermiones Mom's Journal, 12 May 2016

So the scale says I've gained 3 pounds in a week. We all know that's not possible, but it's a good reminder for me of how narrow the margin of error is -- I probably have a narrower range of calories from loss-to-maintain-to-gain that I've ever had before, especially if the study of the Biggest Loser contestants is valid. I'm not going to worry too much, but I am going to try to get myself back into a better routine next week. My allergies, bum leg, and work load have restricted my exercise the past several weeks, but I didn't lower my calorie count. Even though the food diary says I'm still eating less than I'm using, I'm not sure how accurate that is, and I'm pretty convinced that regardless of its accuracy, it has to show an 800+ deficit daily for me to lose a pound a week. In any case, I'm getting myself back under control after several weeks of fooling around, and so I imagine by this time a week from now that weight will be gone. How annoying.
