PSMF DAY 6 stats

Weight: 211.8
Fat Percentage: 25.5 

Yeeeeeah, I think I’m done.

This morning I woke up and I knew, I just KNEW that there would be some sort of change on the scale.  For the last 3 days I’ve been really stringent, and I’ve exorcised and I’ve ingested virtually zero grabs of fat carbs.  My ketostix are a purple that only happens when I’m eating incredibly fatty foods. I’m doing what I’m supposed to do and on the 3rd day in a row I’m at the same weight. Not even like .8 down.  A .5 would have helped. Just show me something to let me know that what I’m doing has more benefit that giving me something to blog about every morning.

I won’t lie to you.  By last night I wasn’t feeling too hot. After a full day of being active, I was cooking for a party, had done weight training and my feet still hurt from that 8.5 mile walk I did a few days ago. I think I made the decision last night way before I ever stepped onto the scale this morning. Basically when I got on the scale it was to make it show me WHY I should stay on this.

It didn’t. 

Now someone commented and left me a link to Lyle McDonalds post about how  weight loss isn’t continuous and it has moments of nothing, then more nothing, then boom. 4 pounds. I know that my body must be freaking out and is trying to retain what it can. All of this does not counter balance my feeling crappy and nothing seeing some sort of movement on the scale. 

Maybe I just need one of those refeeds they speak of so much.  I have enough fat that I figured that I could go 2 weeks with out a break. And yes, I DO see that it says my fat percentage is down again. But I seriously just don’t understand what that means. It’s impossible. I’m the same weight. according to that Ive gained 2 or 3 pounds of muscle and lost 2 or 3 pounds of fat in an exact ratio. If I follow this  supposed fat loss rate I just need 15 more days on this thing and I’ll have a 6 pack. I’ll be the exact same weight, but magically i’ll gain something like 20 pounds of muscle. 

I’m not completely done with the concept of PSMF.  Fact is I’ve done it before but didn’t KNOW I was doing it. Just did it for a few days to clear some sodium out of my system.  I know it works great for that (see the 5 pounds I lost in a day.) I’m going back to my regular Low Carbing. I plan to keep my protein high though. Maybe in another 2 weeks I’ll attempt another week of this.  I might even play with a little intermittant fasting (i did THAT too before) but I’m fairly sure my PSMFing for now is DONE.

And I almost cut my g/f last night.  This thing was NOT helping my mood even a little bit.
