Because of the bowel trouble I re-evaluted my diet (too many potatoes, but I was PMSing) and made sure I had some more salad and oatmeal. I upped my water, too.

I worked out hard yesterday. I cleaned the house, and shopped and was up all day. I only went over my calorie goal by 50--even with my son's birthday cake. The last few days, very good numbers. This morning, let's just say my bowel troubles were over in a big way.

My weight? 184.8!

I know I know I'm not supposed to weigh every day. Some people say do, some don't, I've tried it both ways. At this time I feel I have to focus focus focus and that's part of the focus. Very annoying that I'm up almost two pounds!

On a hopeful note, my measurements are down over all since the last time I measured, and I'm sure they still are. Hope tomorrow is better.

Karen -
Just a thought here - I am ALWAYS up a bit the day of and the morning/afternoon after I work out hard like you said you did. I had someone (one of the infamous "they", I suppose) say that the muscles are requiring more oxygen and water to promote the healing process and therefore we gain "weight" I lost a large amount of weight at a center that was right next door in a small plaza to a women's gym. The women would come in to the WLCenter, weigh, go next door, work out, and come back in and weigh. They would be up anywhere from 1-3 pounds.
No advice for the pooper
Chin up, baby!
