Tuesday Weigh-in, Start of Week 2

Hopped on the scale today and it was somewhat disappointing. First off, let me state, that I did lose weight. I'm down to 96.6kg after 7 days, or a 400g loss. What's dissapointing is that earlier in the week I had weighed myself at 96kg even.

Now, I have no excuse for the mysterious spike this morning. I didn't eat anything off the plan, I didn't over-eat (calories were firmly around 1600/day), I exercised at the gym lifting weights 4 days and even more curiously, I tested my ketones today and they came back positive. So as far as I know I'm doing everything right.

So, why the disappointing result? The only thing I can think of right now are - water weight gain (I did drink an outrageous amount of liquid yesterday, plus it's the day after a big muscle workout) and that I may need to do more cardio to raise my basal metabolic rate. In any case, I'm going to repeat last week's activity strictly and then see if the results get better or not.

If I do have a problem, like a hormone problem or other related issue, then at the very least I will have a detailed log of my activity to discuss with a doctor thanks to this blog.

Need to wash that mirror, don't I?

I really can't tell any difference yet!

Anyway, the plan for this next 7 days is to repeat the last 7 days strictly and then compare before making any adjustments.I still have 93 days left to go to drop 12kg (11.6kg now)
