I started dieting about a month ago. I started at about 190 pounds (5'7" female) and weighed 181 the morning of my cheat day. I was pretty excited about to hit 181! I've been counting calories and trying to exercise more (but I haven't been tracking calories lost with exercise because I haven't been really exercising, just 20 minutes here and there alongside my retail job). I'm pretty proud of my progress.
I weighed myself this morning after my cheat day and I'm at 184. I ate a lot yesterday and I knew that I would. We hit up a bakery and I had a sampling of goodies, I had tacos and a burger and fries and a steak and mash potato and lots of delicious bread. Such a satisfying day of food! But wow, the 3 pound gain, plus the way I feel so tired today, is... wild.
I'm guessing it's a result of the caffeine (I've been trying to stick to caffeine free diet sodas, as a result of my literal soda addiction) and all the carbs that did it. And it made me realize that I've felt more alert and awake in the last month than I have in a long time, and it's probably from being at a calorie deficit and eating fewer carbs. I didn't realize how much my diet had a hand in how crappy I felt everyday. So even though I'm sad I can't finish eating the cupcakes I baked... I'm okay with it, because tomorrow I'll probably feel more alert.
