Once again, a near perfect day is squandered by... well, I don't exactly know why. This has become somewhat disheartening and my initial goal of just getting under 240 again seems like it is permanently on hold. I did this once before and was pretty confident about my formula. The only thing that has changed is that I am now lifting weights daily. In fact, I haven't lifted this hard since I was a teenager. But, I still have a hard time believing that this is the reason I have flatlined on this phase of my journey.
Yesterday, I ate well, lifted weights at lunch, bowled for two and a half hours, and still made it to the club for 30 minutes on the treadmill. I didn't even eat or drink anything at the bowling alley! What would normally be a 2 pound loss resulted in absolutely NO CHANGE!
The only other possibility besides gaining muscle weight is the possibility that I am not getting enough calories. The only way to fix that issue is to begin to eat less healthy foods. I say this because I honestly could not eat much more food. I eat plenty of food and am always full. Yet, because of my choices, I am having a hard time getting my calories up. The solution of changing the foods to higher caloric foods just doesn't feel like the answer. But, if things don't turn over the next week, it is my only option.
Day 19 - no change, Overall - (8.6), Pounds To Break 220 - 24.2, Ahead/(Behind) Pace - 0.3
