On the Weigh: Pleasant Surprise

WI: -.6

Total: -11

Well, this was the last thing I expected.  I've been eating my TDEE (2570 calories) for a week now.  According to everything I had researched, I had expected a gain.  I guess since I had done that just before starting the whole TDEE thing, my body felt I didn't deserve another one.  I am up 4 from my low point, but down a little bit since last week.    It seems like it's been awhile since I've seen the number go down.  I anticipate that there will be more leveling off, potentially a little more up-and-downing as I settle into the next eight weeks of eating more. But for now, I'll take it.

My thoughts so far on eating more...

Tons more energy

More motivated to work out

More flexility to eat cleaner whole foods, or to work around special occasions/travel

Hitting protein has been easy, staying within the goal for fat/carbs more of a challenge
Planning to eat every couple of hours instead of set larger meals is incredibly helpful
Protein powder is my BFF

Super excited to keep going!
