So I've been counting calories like a madwoman since January 3rd. REALLY being strict with myself. I've also been aiming to drink my full 8 glasses of water a day, and doing a pretty good job with it. After all, our thirst is often disguised as hunger so when we keep ourselves hydrated, we don't eat as much. At least, that's what they tell me.
Anyway, when I stepped on the scale for the Week 1 weigh-in I was expecting great things. I mean, this was a week off the holiday binging, and strict calorie counting, and 6 days of workouts--it was bound to be good. But...it wasn't. I didn't GAIN any weight, but I didn't drop a thing. NOTHING. Not even a measly 0.1 lbs. This--as anyone can guess--was frustrating.
I pushed on, though. I kept up the strict calorie counting and the hardcore workouts. And I thought about it. I realized that my Week 1 weigh-in came toward the end of my Monthly Vistor, and that's a time when I generally retain water anyway. So--though it was a day or two early--I declared today another Weigh-In. And...it was better. More like what I was expecting. Yippee!! I've dropped a couple pounds, and I intend to keep that trend going.
Calorie Counting WORKS people. Do it!
