Well, I'm not following my own advice and have been weighing every day but today was my official weekly weigh in day. I saw the scale go all the way down to 185 and was elated, only to have it crawl back up to 187.5 as of this morning. How the HELL is that possible? I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing. I'm having less than 20 grams of carbs a day. I'm having nothing processed. I'm eating protein first and then veggies. I'm not drinking any alcohol. I'm working out 5 or 6 times a week from 30 minutes to 60 on the elliptical. My calories are low but it's hard to eat 1200 when your eating low carb and have a sleeve. I can see how my 800 average of calories per day might put me in a stall but to GAIN????? WTF!!!! I'm staying motivated as best as I can but I'm starting to feel frustrated again. I almost got to 184 only to gain 2.5lbs. That's a cruel joke, God!! I'm even drinking as much water as I possibly can.
I know I can still keep going because I'm still motivated but I'm really beginning to wonder. Am I even capable of losing weight anymore? I cut out all of the stuff that makes me gain, lost 7lbs and then gained back 2.5. How is that humanly possible when I'm drowning myself in water and working my ass off 5 days a week? This is my pattern and it's happening again. I can't break through to the low end of the 180's to save my life!! I'm not quitting this time though. Yet. I'm just feeling very frustrated and I just don't understand what is going on with my body. I'm doing everything I know to do. Like I said, I can understand a stall from all the working out because I could be gaining muscle mass and burning fat at the same time which would explain the scale not going down. But to gain weight?? That I don't understand.
Can someone please shed some light as to what the hell you think is going on here? What am I doing wrong?
