This has been an odd week weight-wise. I have eaten pretty consistently in the lower end of my 'zone' for the last 6 days. Generally in the last 6 days my calorie intake (to my best accounting!) has deviated no more than 50 calories but mostly around 10-20 calories. So consistent. My weight however has not been consistent. In this same time period my weight has been up 2.5 and 1.5 pounds and down 1.8 and 1.8 pounds with two more days at up .2 pounds each. When all the dust settled I am clocking in at a gain of 1.2 pounds!
How can I be 'wrong'? I have been eating out my lunch throughout this time however it is the same lunch - turkey sandwich sans mayo and a date square (I know date square is definitely a treat!) I have recorded it the same calories each time. My breakfast and suppers have mostly been identical. The variance in calories might be a difference in weight of the potato. That sort of thing.
Other contributing factors - I have been working hard (lots of lifting, carrying and stairs) at my father in law's so fairly strenuous. Hitting my bed over tired and not always getting a good night's sleep- about half the time I am sleeping deeply. Sometimes my meals have been late and just dropping into bed after eating. Not ideal but what is happening.
I am certain that things will 'come out in the wash' however it is frustrating in the meantime!
This week I did my yard and weed eating (think about 4-5 acres of lawn! about 3-4 hours of mowing and around 2 hours of weed eating), rained, had a lovely massage, took my computer in to do a general cleaning, rained, grandkids came for half a day at my father in law's, my friend came for a half day at my father in law's, total days at my father in law's was 4 days and today heading out to a 70th birthday event about 2.5 hour drive away!
