Well I really took advantage of my FREE day again and I think I ate almost an entire pan of cocoa Krispie treats! My children and husband got a few but not many! LOL!

I indulged in wine...late dinner, cereal, FUN!

The scale punished me with 124.4 today but I think I should be back down to 123 tomorrow and 122 the following day. It's all water metabolism anyway.

I did have a LONG conversation with my Dad though about what is going on with my body and that I am really FIGHTING 122 down to 119. He says that I am fighting more than basic math.....ESPECIALLY with my bodyfat at 12.7%. This also comes froma man that worries about my low blood sugar issues bcz it landed me in teh ER once with a serious head injury. WHOOPS. Anyway,....DAD, MY HUSBAND, MY GIRLFRIENDS ALL say stay where I am and be happy with it.

I look in the mirror and I am perfectly happy but tell me there are some perfectionists out there that understand the need to just push the envelope. It's 3 more lbs for Christ's sake. I want to just get there and then I PROMISE I'll quit....

The problem is that my body is going into starvation mode...silly since I am not eating less than 1200-1400 a day. BUT I am adding a LOT of exercise.

I think I am to the point of changing to mostly protein and no simple carbs until I get there. OR really dropping my calories to push through and then just maintaining. BUT maintaining will be pretty much what I have been over the last 2 weeks. I can't complain though...I eat what I want within reason...I just try and make sure my macronutrients are reasonable and in balance and my calories are withing that range. I can do that as maintenance without feeling deprived no problem.

SO....I think I am NOT listening to the fam/friends and pushing the 3lbs and seeing if I can do it. My body may just say NO...which it has beeen for the last few weeks but I want to tweak a LITTLE more and try again! GOTTA!

Good luck to all and if anyone has had this struggle...please tell me how you pulled through it!!

So, today is a good day! MAN am I busy planning this wedding renewal of vows but it's keeping me on task bcz I have to be to get everything done.

I am doing yoga today...perhaps running if I can fit it in later.

I was 14.8% bodyfat this morning which is not usually the correct percentage. It's the evening one when I'm fully hydrated that is closest to what teh calipers and underwater testing revealed from past experience. The accurate reading has gotten to 12.7 in the eve. My lowest ever was 11.9% and my normal morning % is about 16 lately so I have managed to whittle some weight AND gain some muscle which has been a really difficult road. HOORAY!

I have checked on ALL of my buddies so I really am sending you all positive energy!!!

Off to bend myself into a pretzel!!

XXOOXO

Ya know....just when I think I know what's going on....things change! lol!

I had 2 free days this weekend and I think my body is still using the water it needed from SUNDAY FUN DAY! That included french toast, nutty bars, chocolate...u name it! lol!

Monday and Tuesday were perfect though...my net calories (eaten minus burned) was like 300. I did Yoga for and hour and a half and I ran 5.5mph/walked at 10% incline for 30 minutes. I'm assuming tomorrow should be back to 122.2 and Friday 121.2 but with all this muscle gain...who knows. DAMN my butt is hard though from all the yoga! I'm liking that. Actually, I am ok with every aspect except seeing my lower set of abs...can see the 4 pack but still not the 6. Maybe at this stage I need to go to the macronutrient percentages instd of just the calories. I'll give it another week before I make any changes though. If I can get down to 119 without losing muscle...I'll just maintain and up the calories a bit.

Just a note....being a woman with hormone flucutaions is a real BITCH when trying to figure out what works for your body. I know I only have 1.5 more weeks until my body goes crazy with water and all progress or learning goes out the window with my moods for awhile. Isn't that just BULLSHIT! lol!

Well.....there ya go. I'm the fattest I should be 2 days out from TOM and I guess the cranwater and other things did a bit of the trick. Given my calories....I should still be about 2 lbs lower...I SHOULD have hit 119 by Sunday but I guess I have 2 more days to let the working out, eating, and crantwater, play catch up since the body is 2 days off anyway. MEANING....if I eat crap today...it usually doesn't show on the scale for 2-3 days. so....conversely, the good eating/exercise/blah, blah....has the same lag to it.

We'll see!

PLUS...if I have a hard workout, my muscles hold fluid to heal for about 2 days too.

Today....yesterdays running and weights...and maybe finish the day with yoga just to clear my head from all this party planning!

Happy FRIDAY!!!!
