Grumble grumble... - Weighty Issues

Main

Well despite maintaining a solid calorie deficit for the past few days, the weight on the scale has mysteriously bounced around and climbed the same few tenths of a pound, when it should have dropped (in theory). I should be grateful I'm experienced at this now, or I'd find this highly discouraging! My body seems to be taking it's time adjusting to the poundage drop of weeks prior, and with the social occasions last week I didn't create enough of a deficit to solidly push into the single digit 200's. Annoying, but there you have it.

I was hoping the scale would reflect the deficit this morning, but it had me largely the same despite *feeling* myself in weight loss mode (it's a particular kind of hunger that always precedes a lower number), but the potatoes I made for dinner last night neatly mask any weight loss with their water retaining super powers ;). The scale is fickle, but I know I can't keep pushing a significant calorie deficit and have it NOT show up, when I am nowhere near maintenance level. So I'll keep plugging away at it and hopefully have better numbers for next week.

The recumbent bike is still annoying my knee, and now the other one is starting to bug me. This is after two years of riding this equipment with no problems at all, at the same adjustments. I am perplexed as to what changed and a little sad, because I genuinely enjoy riding it. I was on for 45 minutes last night and noticed the aggravation of my knees after about 20 minutes into it. The worst case scenario, I somehow have an injury that bike aggravates and I'll sell it on Craiglist to help fund something else (likely a treadmill), but I hope it doesn't come to that!

This week is looking much better right now, from the eating front. It just needs to stay that way!

Try hard not to be discouraged. Perhaps you could try bikeriding for ten minute sessions throughout the day. Good luck!

I know that it is hard, but with nursing and being not too far from delivery makes a big difference with fluid retention. The recumbent sometimes bothers my knees too - hence my love of walking!
