- I'm eating more calories than I think I am.
- I've got some sort of underling health issue that I'm not aware of.
- My body is just being weird because of the weight training and it'll sort itself out eventually.
Personally, I want to rule out the first point. I'm meal prepping and not really deviating from the plan that I set out at all. Under that assumption I ought to be eating about 1,500 calories and under 5 grams of carbs per day. The ketostix bear this out as the last time I tested just a couple days ago, I was fully into Ketosis, which means, fat burning.
The second point - underlying health issue bothers me. This could be a variety of things. Nothing really showed up on my last health check, so I don't know where to proceed on this. Maybe I need to book in a doctors appointment for next weekend? It'd be good if it was someone who specialized in medicine for middle aged dudes...
The last point is more of a "I have no idea?!?!" I mean, it's possible that all sorts of strange things are going on with my body right now because I went from being entirely sedentary and over eating to being on a strict ketogenic diet and working out three days a week at the gym. If this is the case, then I should see some regular pattern appear within the next few weeks as my body adjusts to my new routine... although I would have thought that this would have manifested as extra weight loss instead of just "staying about the same".
The only positive news I have on this front is that I can confirm that my waistline is slightly smaller. Even if the scale isn't really budging, the belt loops don't lie. My dress shirts and my belt are both a tiny bit looser. I'll grasp onto that to try and keep my motivation up as I continue through this week.
After all, I have 2 workouts and 5 days to go before my next weigh in. I'll just focus on staying diligent throughout that time.
