So I finally got back "on the wagon" a week ago. For the previous 4 weeks, I was at home on my winter break and I decided to let myself enjoy my time back with friends and family and just did matinance work on my body. 3 days of weights, 2 days of cardio, ate food within reason (didn't near bulking proportions). When I started up my program again a week ago I had only gained 1 lb apparently from the whole holiday break. I felt as though my metabolism was slowing down and I was losing too much LBM at the rate I was going prior to my vacation, so I added +300 kcals/day to my nutrition. As of this morning I was down 8 lbs... lol. I hardly use the scale for progress, but it's just a notice for you that get all upset about how the scale can drastically go up/down and whatever when you need to remember about water and sodium retention. I def. did not lose that much weight, esp. after ADDING extra food.

Trust the mirror :tu:

Good reminder, thanks. I'm one that trusts the scale too much. I'm learning to trust my feeling and the mirror more and more.

measurements and pictures are really much better than the mirror.. the mirror CAN lie to you.. trust me on that one.. take pictures ;)
