Poop.
I was up again.
Let’s break it down into the negatives and positives again, like last month.
The negatives:
- Up three months in a row (March, April, May). Boo.
- The amount I’m up on the year to date has further increased, from 1.2 pounds, to 2.5 pounds. Mentally, this creates a bigger barrier to seeing weight loss because the bar is now that much higher to actually seeing the numbers go down.
The positives:
- This is less than last month’s gain of 2.0 pounds, so weight gain appears to at least be slowing
- The snack-free attempt was mostly successful in terms of reducing snacks, which should bode well for the future
- My body fat percentage remained unchanged at 24%
- I’m running again, which I missed for most of the month; this should also help
- Most of the weight gain literally happened on the final day of the month, when I jumped up 1.1 pounds
- Spread over five months, this averages out to gaining 0.5 pounds per month, which doesn’t seem as bad 😛
- I did see actual weight loss three times during the month, proving it is actually possible!
