I got the carbs and fat back down to reasonable levels, and I came close to my protein number, and I worked out for an hour. I had a small calorie deficit, well within the range I'm shooting for (per a Drew Baye article about how to lose fat, not muscle). And my weight corrected down again. It dropped 2 pounds - maybe 0.2 pounds is fat loss, the rest is correction for the wacky fluid fluctuations I caused by my Christmas partying ways.

I wonder how many people gain five pounds over the holidays, much like I did, and mistakenly think they've actually put on that much fat in a couple of days, and get all depressed about it. From that point, you could either decide it's too hard to lose weight, and just give up, or you might work real hard to lose the "fat" you gained, and get the mistaken idea that some new workout got you to lose 5 pounds incredibly fast, when in fact it was just that you got back on track with your normal diet, and your fluid gain went away.

Either way, you lack knowledge of what's truly going on, and that hurts you, in the long run. Giving up the will to control your eating is an obvious problem. But not understanding what is the true cause of your weight loss is a more subtle problem that ends up with you wasting time and effort on things that don't really work like you think they do.

I won't lie - I was pretty bummed when I saw that weigh-in on Christmas Day - it was a shock to gain that much. However, I clung to my new-found understanding that it would evaporate, dissipate, move on like the wind whispering through the willows. And that seems to be the case. My waist measurement is back down to what it was on my low weight day, and I believe that my fat mass is at its lowest point since I started this journey! I'm really wishing Santa had brought me that fancy scale so I could see some reliable measurements of my fat/lean/fluid mass ratios!

I've rambled enough. Have a good one!
