Day 11 - Carb Day

Weight: 176.6lbs
Overall Change: -9.4lbs
Change since yesterday: 0??

Hmm. Now I am stuck wondering what happened yesterday that made me stay at the same weight in spite of drinking only protein shakes with very meticulously measured amounts of carbs and fat...and I have a few theories on this.

1. Maybe I'm being a brat and my expectations are too high. Can I really expect to continue to lose a pound a day?

2. Maybe it's because I was bummed out yesterday and lifted heavy stuff, which isn't part of the boss's program.

And now I must take a moment here to point out that lifting weights was decidedly disappointing. I felt so weak and tired that I was using what I normally consider to be warm-up weights and failing halfway through my sets.  Still, it felt better than just doing cardio. And if I'm going to fall off the wagon that's how I want to do it! (Incidentally I got my cardio in yesterday too.)

3. This is the public service announcement: yesterday I was STRESSED. Stress is bad for you. Stress is the enemy when you want to get your body to do something like shed fat or put on muscle or look better.  Does it negate a day of meticulous dieting? I don't know...but maybe it was a factor. Just saying.

Anyway, on to the next! Today is carb day, which means a big-ass bowl of oatmeal for breakfast - woohoo!
