Did I smmmmmaash the pattern: yo-yo weight

The weekend has ended.  I sit here almost ready to head to work to start this new week!   I had grand plans for the weekend!  I was so going to smash the cycle that I’ve been in for months.  I had a plan and I vowed to have some fun over the weekend also.  So how did I do?

The weekend was a success with my eating.  I had vowed to not snack and not indulge in non nutritious foods when I got hungry.   On Saturday that meant that I had a banana.  On Sunday that meant that I had a small bowl of cottage cheese.   I also kept my calories in check and feel good about my food intake.   Win!!!!

My next goal for the weeekend was to drink at least 64 ounces of water, my water consumption on the weekend is usually lacking.   I nailed this one too!   I got over 64 ounces both days...although I will admit that on Sunday I squeezed my win out by the skin of my teeth!!!  Win!!


I walked for about 35 minutes on Saturday!   
Cold walk around the perimeter of the field while Jason flew his drone.
We also took a short hike for 45 minutes on Sunday!!!!  
Cold creek on our walk along a trail!  No swimming today!
Exercise too!   A bonus win!!!!

So my weight....did I smash the goal????  Cue the self deprecating laughter.   Oh yeah, I smashed this goal!   But not in a good way.   The cycle has been that over the weekend my weight drops then oops back up on Monday or Tuesday.  Well....my weight never dropped this past weekend!   So while my goal was to let it drop and KEEP it low and this smash the cycle...I guess I can say that I did smash the pattern because the cycle was broken in that my weight never dropped!

So why did my weight never drop?   Who knows.  I know that my monthly water retention weight gain  is upon me...I did have some more saltier/sodium laden foods.   But I didn’t break the bank in calories and I ate healthy, nutritious food!   So who knows!  I’m not giving up...I’m still staying the course!!!

And you took plenty of healthy steps this weekend! The scale will follow. Keep it up!

Great steps this weekend and don't worry about the scale not moving, there can be so many other aspects of our lives that affect the scale. It will catch up.... Good luck with the challenges, they look like great ones to keep you on your path to get healthy and strong!

Congrats on your goals for the weekend. Good things will come to those that work the program. Never know why our bodies react the way they do. Everyone's is different so that is one reason that I decided to only weigh once a week on Sunday mornings. Occasionally I will "sneak" in a Wednesday weigh in, but try not to since I get too discouraged! Keep up the good work!

You did it, even if the scale isn't showing it right away. But you had massive progress and that's awesome!

You did great this week. Salty foods will always mess up the scale on me. Always try to avoid anything salty the day before weigh in.
