So today on lunch I went to weigh in. I went into the meeting thinking that I probably lost a good 3-4 pounds due to all of the exercise I had been doing, but I was sadly mistaken. I actually gained 1.3 pounds. I was totally bummed.
I talked to my consultant after the meeting and she told me once she started working out she gained 5 pounds in muscle. Grrr! She told me I need to start adding more protein to my diet after working out. I think the other problem is that I was waiting to eat after I was working out and by the time I get home its like 8:30-9:00 and that is too late to eat a meal.
The new plan- eat small meals through out the day. Eat prior to going to work out and then eating an apple on the way home and then having protein afterwards (nuts, chicken, etc).
I really hope next week is different. I was pushing myself so hard all week for this weigh in and was not happy with the results.
My consultant wants me to really track everything I eat this week. If I don't lose again then maybe she can help figure out why.
Stay tuned....
Hey girl! Just remember, that sometimes when you start up a new work out plan it can take a couple of weeks to catch up to your weight loss. I've had the same thing this week, so I won't be too shocked on the scale tomorrow.
