I keep trying to look up how to combat that. Though I know some weight gain (or lack of weight loss) can come about due to muscle weighing more, since I've just worked out within the last few days, it's more likely a fluid retention issue. How one goes about keeping that from happening, though, I have no idea.
I've had times like this: I exercise and then.. kabam! up goes the scales.. its both disconcerting and strange and it can do our head in. Just give it a few days: if it's water weight then you WILL drop again. If its muscle.. well, maybe not..but you will look better for it :)
ReplyDeleteGood way to look at it! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can't stop it, but, if you keep working out, you stablize and the scale goes down again.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling myself this. lol Yet the scale KEEPS staying or bobbling at a certain weight.
ReplyDeleteI am now a month in to my workout regimen at the gym. And though I've been stressed (need to read and find out how much cortizone really plays a part in this), I've been eating really well. In other words, I haven't been stress-eating like I normally might.
I keep trying to tell myself tha if I keep doing the right things, the right things will happen. It can just get SO discouraging when things don't happen the way we expect them to.
