day 137: progress pt 2
So I mentioned on Tuesday that I would weigh-in on Thursday. Here it is. I had to avert my eyes.
Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!
This is actually exactly the same as I was last week, but 1lb more than the last time I weighed in.
Damn. I was hoping for a 1lb loss. I am not a happy camper right now. I guess I’m going to have to tweak my calorie intake.
Today I was pretty diligent about my food intake. I had to be because I was so embarrassed about what I saw on the scale this morning. I ate 1470 calories and got 121g of protein (which about one third of my calories).
I’m even more embarrassed because I have an appointment with my Naturopath tomorrow morning. YIKES! I’m nervous and worried because I’ve done terribly at following the diet that she provided me and I think I’m in worse shape than the last time I saw her 10 weeks ago. My fingers and toes are crossed.
Maybe I can attribute the weight gain to too much of this:
SOURDOUGH
Since I made sourdough starter last week, I’m on a bit of a sourdough bonanza. I made this loaf (which I wholeheartedly did not expect to rise) that ended up turning out amazing!
I have a loaf of a Poilane style miche rising on my counter as I speak, a sourdough pizza dough in the fridge, and plans to make a sourdough chocolate cake this weekend.
Bread is my weakness.

Holy crap, your sourdough looks AMAZING! It’s so holey. I want right now!!! I tried making my own sourdough starter and it never worked. I even tried some I got from a friend. Still no go. So, I’m jealous, to say the least. Bread is my weakness too. Last night all I wanted for dinner was bread. I threw in a salad to, for good measure, but I shoulda saved the calories and had more bread.
You make awesome bread! First that sprouted grain bread and now the sourdough bread…they all looked so delicious!
And don’t let that weight-in disappoint you — you’ve worked so hard already, think positive!
I’m sure your appointment with your Naturopath will go fine. Good luck!
Bread is my weakness too! that sourdough looks awesome
Good luck to your appointment, remember you’ve done good things too!
Oh man that bread looks great. Homemade bread is a major problem for me. I can’t control myself around it!
id love to tell u not to worry about the scale but i know that everyone likes to measure on their own terms so whatever works for you is awesome! just remember tho that ur body is making changes no matter what the scale reads. any amount of changes u make will show but sometimes it just takes a longer time for the actualy number to change. but i know u know much of this. HUGS <3 xo
You seem to have been doing so well! I can’t understand it. Perhaps you’re not eating enough for the level of working out you’re doing and it’s having the adverse effect?
i think you mentioned that you have been doing a lot of weight training? If you are I would say your weight will go up but your clothes might feel better…..is that happening?
Sorry the scale isn’t where you want it to be. That can be really disheartening after a lot of effort. good luck tomorrow!
Scales are just plain evil some days!
Chin up, we all have our weaknesses!
