I'm ok with this minor uptick in weight since it's about the same. I increased my daily caloric intake to around 1500-1600 per day (from 1100-1200) and changed my workout routine to a heavier weight lifting routine 2 weeks ago. Today is the start of my 3rd week.
I feel good and even though the scale says the same thing I know that the same weight of muscle takes up about 1/2 of the space that fat does since its a lot denser. So maybe I lost 3 lbs of fat and replaced it with 3lbs of muscle? That's my theory at least. All I know is that I feel smaller if that makes sense.
I'm currently wearing comfortably size L t-shirts, XL hoodies, and size 34 inch waist jeans. I threw out, sold, or donated all the XXL gym pants, coats and hoodies. As well as my 40" and 38" jeans and cargo shorts. ☺
PS I normally flush my system the night before weigh in, but I didn't do that this time and I weighed myself after urinating but not pooping. It kind of bothers me that maybe I could have weighed in at 195 (my scale goal) if I had pooped, but I have to be okay with it and let's be honest there's no way I have 3lbs of poop in me when I'm only eating 1500 cals a day and weightlifting 5 of those days. 😂
