April Fool

So this week's weigh-in is a bit of a mixed bag.  On the plus side, I haven't gained any weight despite a bit of naughtiness over the weekend (but honey-coated macadamias are just so yummy!).  On the down side, my weight was the same today as it was on Saturday.  I'm not sure what that means overall, but it was a little disappointing, considering the magnitude of the losses so far.

So what was the magic number?  124.9kg.  Both 9am Saturday (before any food), and 4pm Monday (after a day's worth of food and drink.  I don't know if that means my weight has plateaued, or if I've started adding muscle (I'm skeptical) or if there's another factor.  Probably I've just hit a natural plateau which I need to break through.  Or my body has adjusted to the exercises I'm doing and isn't being pushed as hard as it needs to be.

Regardless, I'm not going to let it get me down.  It's just one week, and I've still managed to lose some weight.  So I guess it's not really a bad week.  I'm not even sure I have a word to describe it.

The other thing that has me bugged at the moment is my PT's food plan.  For months (years actually) I've been a 2.5 square meal man.  I say 2.5 because I don't usually eat breakfast, but I have at least two main meals a day.  The rest is either a morning tea, or a supper or a midnight snack or a combination thereof.  It's probably more complicated than that, but you get the idea.  Since the move I've managed to get my food routine back under control most days.  Now my PT wants me to change that again.  He wants me to get into the "6 small meals a day" routine, with the right mix of protien, carbs and such at the "right" times.  Now, I know that it's the accepted wisdom of the fitness/nutritional industries to do this, and I understand (some) of the reasoning.  But to me it seems like more effort, fiddling around with extra food preparation and stuff, all to counter something that I've deliberately cultivated the self-control to combat; that is, hunger.

What also worries me is that at the moment I'm pretty confident that my daily calorie consumption is probably well below the recommented 2000cal/day.  Eating more often (even small quantities) means that it will upset the delicate balance I've managed to achieve, and I don't know if it will be for better or for worse.  Plus, it tends to make be feel uncomfortably full some days.  Maybe I'm just being stubborn, as I usually am when someone wants me to change something I'm not ready to do.  I guess the best things\ I can do is give it a shot for a little while, see if there is any merit in it.  After that I'll make a decision.

PS: Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!  It's appreciated.
