This is to all the ladies. When you have a great week working out and mind the calories and such and the scale affirms your accomplishment, you may celebrate that achievement for 2 weeks if you’d like.
Yes, we’re gonna get personal, but sometimes you gotta be real.
If your visitor is due to visit the week after a great weigh-in, make a conscious decision to celebrate that weigh-in for 2 weeks. This is mental health decision and a mathematical decision. With this firmly decided in your heart, the bloating, headaches, moodiness, and whatever else get smaller, less obtrusive. If you lost 6 lbs, but you bloat and retain 4, you are still down from your pre-bloat weight. Ignore the bloat.
You also have my permission to go slower on the elliptical, bike, tread, whatever. You are still moving! And if you are still moving, then once the retention is released, you are down even more.
