gaining 0.7 lb a week
28 February 2014
One further note: I realized I'd been overcounting the caloric burn of training sessions. When I do only a standard session, I'm on the gym floor for about an hour and a half, but I'm not actually lifting that whole time: there's stretching, set breaks, etc. I'd been logging this as "weight training, moderate" for an hour, but the caloric burn count isn't for an hour-long session, it's for an hour of actual lifting. Including warm-up sets and work sets, I'm now counting my session as 30 minutes on a deadlift day and 25 minutes on a non-deadlift day. I think this helps get my exercise counts more accurate, and thus helps me better understand how to create a moderate deficit.

I had access to the scale where I'd last weighed and had used for my last weight on this site: it puts me down 4 pounds. This is a nice result. My lifts are up (PRs: squat 225x5x3, bench 115x5x2, deadlift 245x4), my bodyweight is down slightly, good times all around.
BUT, I'm also wondering about what scale to use. The one I have the most reliable access to is in my gym, but there are intervening variables: the fact that I weigh clothed there, the fact that I lift at the end of the day when I've eaten several meals, and, of course, just the fact that it's a different scale. There's also the issue of intramuscular water retention: when I have access to this scale, I'm away from the gym, which often means it's been a few days since I lifted, so I may be carrying a little less of the lifting-related water ("pump") than usual. But I did lift yesterday, so I feel okay about the reliability of this reading on that score.
In any case, I'm down a little, which looks like 271 on this scale in the morning in my underwear, and 279.5 on the gym scale in the late afternoon in gym clothes and sneakers.

losing 0.5 lb a week
26 January 2014
Week 3
Sunday: -516
Monday: -85
Tuesday: +18
Wednesday: -626
Thursday: +464
Friday: -189
Saturday: -384
Total: -1389
1) Ate really close to TDEE this week both for recovery from illness and in preparation for a big lift attempt on Monday (225x5x3 squat/105x5x3 bench/225x5x1 deadlift). It didn't feel like a week to be stressing about deficits.
2) Felt a little weird about it, both because it felt like I should be hitting deficits and because when the margin is small I become concerned about the accuracy of my tracking.
3) Was also a little less active than usual, also because of illness (skipped endurance work at the gym this week, walked around less in general). I'm okay with that, but it's time to get back on the horse.

Saturday: -42

Notes
1) Sick as a dog. This week concluded with me down for the count—this time, the "sleeping and resting" exercise assessment was totally accurate for Friday and Saturday; I couldn't do a damn thing, including train. Thursday I was out and about, but shouldn't have been, and by then had already lost my appetite (hence the big deficit), so on Friday I kind of had to force food with a goal of eating my full TDEE to get better faster. I ate what I could convince myself to eat, focusing on calorie-dense stuff. Also,
1b) I sort of feel like this illness is my own fault. I overdid it in the gym this week for sure: a "stretching and mobility" class after my regular lifting slot on Monday turned out to be way more strenuous than expected, and I forgot my shaker bottle for a protein shake, so a bigger deficit than ideal there, and then I lifted sore and underslept on Wednesday. Too little sleep, too little protein, too little consideration for my own recovery needs. Dumb.
2) Many of this week's counts really feel like rough estimates. Because I was out so much this week, and because even when I was in at the end of the week I wasn't doing a lot of food prep, I'm relying on best estimates of restaurant food, which makes me feel uncertain.
3) Still need to work on flattening out my deficits. Keep calories and protein up on training days.
