Egull1's Journal, 20 October 2019

For those who followed yesterday's posts - the verdict is in after a 2800 plus cal night. How much did she gain in water weight?

Drum roll please...

A WHOLE WHOPPING 2 LBS!!!

All joking aside, when I compare this water weight gain back to the "deficit" days of yore when I had a maintenance day or a night out, 2 lbs is pretty chintzy! But, I'll take it for sure and be thankful. 80 lbs ago, I not only weighed more, but I literally gained upwards of 7 lbs. in one night from eating the same amount of cals.

So, why am I retaining less now? I'm not sure. It may be that I drink less. I had about 2 full glasses of wine, which is about 16 ounces. However, back in the day - half a magnum was standard. In fact, if anyone goes wayee back in my journal entries - they will often see I refer to myself as a "human aquifer". LOL

Anywho, it's time to take all those macros and put them to good use. I have strength training today so we will give this body some good movement to use them on! Have a blessed day and a wonderful week, everyone!

That was pretty darn good all considered. The gain will also disappear as you go back to your new normal eating habits. That is the way it is supposed to be done and certainly what I aspire to when I hit maintenance. There are ups and downs in food intake and there are feast days. When I reach maintenance I will have to make sure that every day isn't a feast day!
