Today’s Weigh-In: 374.4 pounds

I’m almost out of words at how frustrated I am right now. How do I GAIN almost an entire pound yesterday? My calories were on track!

Seriously. What gives?

Okay, time to get more stringent with retracing my steps. This isn’t luck of the draw or chance that my weight keeps skyrocketing up for no easily apparent answer this week. There has to be something causing my body to react this way. Once I find that out, then damnit, those numbers better start dropping again.

So, I HAVE TO figure out what that is. Here’s my thoughts: a helluva lot more water. Way more than what I’ve been drinking this week. Now that I think about it, my water intake has been low.

I’ve been working late at night and thereby waking up late. I have no idea if that affects anything in and of itself, but I’m sure getting 6.5 7.5 hours of sleep isn’t as good as a full 8 or 9. (Update/Edit: I’ve also been working out late, as well. Often between 11 and 1:30, and then going to be within two hours of my gym time. Not sure what effect that has, either.) I’ve been waiting an hour or sometimes more before eating breakfast; that got remedied today.

Still, those factors don’t seem to be enough to cause my weight to go up so quickly – if anything, it would seem to make it stall out. At any rate, I’m just really pissed and discouraged. BUT, I can’t give up or allow myself some “I’m bummed so I’ll eat unhealthy” meals. Hell no. I can’t quit now, and I won’t quit now.

Just like I said in my Fighting For Ever Inch! post a few days back, I fight for every inch, even when on days like today that I feel the mountain keeps pushing me further down. I’ll work my way out of this canyon, because I refuse to continue to be the fat guy.

Days like this ARE hard, though. Grr.
