michaelsgirl515's Journal, 26 April 2015

So, I have decided to have a cheat day today. Not worrying about everything just enjoying the day. I had BBQ pork loin that I smoked all morning, pasta salad, and I am going to take a VERY long bubble bath in my whirlpool tub tonight and have a bottle of wine. It has been a very stressful couple of days. Work issues and family issues and I have felt very stressed and overwhelmed. I did a ton of exercise this past week and stayed well below my RDI and ate well, and yet the scale said I gained 3 pounds today. It's not my weigh in day so I haven't recorded it, but honestly I don't think it is diet related, but STRESS related. I need a day to just sit back an relax and enjoy life. I might get in some jump roping later, but other than that...it's going to be a low key kind of day. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

As you have so insightfully pointed out STRESS can have MAJOR effects on many components of health...including weight loss. Enjoy a day of CARING for yourself!!! I don't even think it is necessary to call it a day"cheat" day. ENJOY...:)

Another cause, besides stress, is water retention from that time of the month. I try to avoid the scale on those days because it's just needlessly frustrating. Just keep on exercising - you'll probably see a massive drop next week. You're doing fantastic!
