peeperjj's Journal, 26 August 2019

Ok this is sticking around. Scale says I’ve gained 0.7% bf in 8 days. 😳 I’ve gained about 2 1/2# in that time. Calorie wise I shouldn’t have so this is the medicine gain. It can’t be a delayed muscle gain right? Couldn’t be dehydration as my water is down on the scale. Only 1/2% but still down.

I wanted gains but only muscle lol. Eh didn’t sleep well so not gonna stress. Brains too foggy to figure it out so I’ll do some math later, take a nap, work on moving 28,000 pictures around from phone to PC to external hard drive and wait on the game tonight. Some family coming so it should be a 3 ring circus lol. Let’s hope the kiddo gets some playing time. Not sure why but the coach started with new starters and is only playing a few here and there. Not giving anyone else much of a chance to try for a win when we are down by 15-20 even. 🤷‍♀️ I’m not a coach or even played so I can’t begin to see her logic. There’s gotta be a method to her madness as they say :). (Kid says she’s trying to see which players work well together BUT that seems impossible when only 8 play with any regularity out of 15 kids. And half of those are the popular kids.)

It can't be fat so must be muscle and water. :)

DP, Lol no baby here! If I were to have another baby I’d have to adopt or she/he would be the next baby Jesus. Thanks Chris! Now I’ll go figure up how many workouts I’ve had and see if it matches the scale you recommended :). LZ, I’m hoping muscle!

It sounds like you're using a home scale to monitor bodyfat, which are heavily influenced by hydration, so measured bodyfat will fluctuate daily even with no change in actual fat mass. Furthermore, 0.7% is well within the error rate of the machine, so you can't trust that number to be accurate. Finally, the BIA technology in home scales is terribly unreliable, so there are lots of reasons not to trust that number. It's not that you can't use the scale at all, but 8 days between test points is probably too soon to see changes in bodyfat that can be reliably monitored by your scale. My advice would be to take bodyfat measurements every 30 days on 3 consecutive days and average the result.

@jaime it’s okay :). @Terra it ended up not so bad. Other than the coaches decisions to play 8 of the 15 kids only even after the same mistakes were repeated for the 5th or 6th time. I’ve got a mouth on me so when the family was talking about it I was sure to pitch my voice a little higher. Doubt it reached across the court (after the game when most were gone except the coaches), but if it did then good. She’s never coached before and seems to have no idea what to do. Just randomly playing the few popular kids and their current friends. The team captain is a new player even. The libero from last year didn’t even make the team this year! One kid cried and threw a fit so has gotten to play most of every match since. 3 haven’t gotten to play yet after 6 matches/games. One kid was on last year and had maybe 10 minutes of playing time all year. This is middle school for heavens sake. Those girls look so dejected sitting there and never getting to even play one time through the rounds. Ugh. Coach is nice but has a rule of not asking ANYTHING about play time. So I can’t even ask what my kid is doing wrong to get pulled. Fing stupid.
