The scary thing is I had close to my calculated RDI yesterday and still lost weight. To add to that, my body fat % went up - which means I did not lose all fat/water weight/waste, I lost some muscle as well.
I worked both jobs yesterday and got two workouts in. Chest in the AM, abs during one of my breaks last night. So that makes for 4 workouts in 3 days. I am not getting enough rest/sleep either, which is not allowing me to recover properly. I think today is a rest day, and perhaps a calorie spike day.
I have noticed this before where if I do not get between 6-7 hours of sleep, my body fat readings increase and I am firmly believing it has everything to do with sleep pattern and burning calories/fat during that period.
Question for the Day: How much sleep do you get on average?

Morning Geridk! Interesting observation. I often don't get enough sleep every night b/c I find it hard to sleep before midnight, often wake at night, then get up early to start work at 5:30 am. I try and recoup by taking a nap after work before working out. I know this affects my weight and ability to recover also so I'm glad you mentioned this. Not sure if I'll get to journal today but I was able to do a cross training workout yesterday followed by two sprints. No soreness today, though, like the first two times I did it. I find that odd.

Exact same thing happened to me too....down a little weight, Omron telling me body fat was higher. And I woke up early as well.
I will hold off judgment until tomorrow though - I could have just been dehydrated when I did the impedance measurement.

@dsy - haha no biggie i'm sure i've messed yours up plenty of times. No soreness means your body's adapted to the stresses. As long as you know you're working hard through the workout itself you should be good. You definitely want to apply periodization to it, which is either changing intensity, routine order, the exercise, rest period, etcs.
@nimm - I thought that too, that maybe i did not get enough hydration however, the scale I use has hydration measurements as well and I am usually in the 58-60% hydration level. So it leads me towards the possibility that its not water weight. You bring up a good point that maybe i should pay more attention to my hydration levels to see if there is a correlation between hydration levels low or high with the fat.
