The scale almost learned to fly this morning. Out the window, that is.
After two weeks of eating in my range every single day, and working out 6 days a week, I have lost a grand total of:
.6 pounds.
WTF.
This morning I weighed in giddy with anticipation only to see the scale had moved from 160.6 to 161.6. Fantastic.
And so, knowing this to be an impossibility, I tried again.
161.6.
My scale is clearly on a suicide mission. I guess I can't really blame it considering it has to hold me up every week, and I'm obviously not getting any skinnier.
All jokes aside (big fake smile plastered on my face), I have NO IDEA what is going on.
Last year I dropped 40 lbs. working out maybe 4 days a week and counting about 6 days.
My only thought is that perhaps my thyroid hormones are still all wonky from the cancer situation. I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday to see the results of my most recent blood work, so I guess I'll see then. I was so pumped to go in and show my doctor that I had managed to drop weight and that I must be getting better.
If my hormone levels are fine, then I guess I'll have to start making some changes with my diet/exercise. Right now I eat between 1200-1550 calories a day (usually around 1300), and last week I burned 2908 calories. According to my calorie differential I should have lost 1.9 pounds. I'm pretty sure I haven't lost any inches because it's only been two weeks.
Any advice is appreciated.
