R1P2D14(-16.5)
that's up...yes I said up...0.8lb from yesterday.
Okay, so let us look at yesterday in detail and I will show you an interesting correlation to a
previous day that was followed by a slow loss day.
Yesterday(D13):
Lunch-protein shake
Supper-cucumber, chicken, melba, apple
Snack- cabbage
soup with lot of salt and hot sauce, base was 1/2 cup homemade chicken broth
with 2 cups water
So I missed a fruit and a melba and had more salt then normal
Day 12:
Lunch-chicken, cucumber
Supper-steak. apple,
asparagus, a melba
Again I missed a fruit and a melba and on the
following day I lost 0.4lb in contrast to my other slow days of 0.8lb and my
good days of 1-1.4lbs losses
There are a few things that may be happening
here. My body might be reacting to the lesser calorie intake and moving into
starvation mode. I might be retaining water from salt since I put salt on
asparagus too. There was a period in my past were I hovered around the 215lbs
mark and my body might be trying to revert to that number, also.
It is
what it is so I will not dwell on the matter since I am certain that I didn't
break protocol. I will increase my water intake and ensure that I get all my
calories today. Really, it is all I can do. Hope this post helps others who have
hit a plateau for no obvious reason to move beyond, since this "is only a moment
in time...let it pass" (t.v. series 'Firefly')
