Because I'm a masochist.
62.8 kg from last weigh in [two weeks ago] +2.1 kg
19.7% body fat
BF = 12.4kg from last weigh in +0.8
LBM = 50.4kg from last weigh in + 1.3 [I hope that is true!]
I ended up eating the sausage rolls after all!!
I know I blame everything on my menstrual cycle but this out of control eating happened 4 weeks ago as well. A quick calculation determines this is ovulation time, the beginning of PMS. Apparently your body wants you to gain weight, just in case you get pregnant. Thanks body!! I am going to investigate some hormonal help here -- it's driving me crazy.
Three bits of new information
1. Hot water and lemon on an empty stomach first thing in the morning does have an almost instant laxative effect [thank God for small mercies today I say]
2. I am an idiot and forgot about daylight saving so I got up an hour too early today. Summer is over and I HATE winter. Jealous of all you northern hemisphere people [now though, not during that snow]. Going to go hop on the treadmill to use up the extra hour before I go to work. Hope I can undertake an outdoor event day and eat properly.
3. I don't feel bad about the out of control eating episode. Just a bump in the road. It's over, gone and in the past now, the only thing I can do is begin today afresh. I am so glad every day is a new beginning :)
Good attitude to your little binge, Katie - just get on with it now, no looking back.
ReplyDeleteI hate winter too. The only good thing about the end of daylight saving is that it's light when I get up....for a few weeks anyway.
:(
Hey Katie did you know your metabolism actually increases during the last half of your cycle?
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that this could account for some of our cravings at this time (increased metabolism = increased caloric need).
