30 Day Diet Reboot Day 11

January 11, 2018, 180.2 pounds, 12.2 % Body Fat

The inevitable bounce

This is something that you should be prepared for when you start a clean eating project.  There will be days when you reverse course on your metrics for no reason.

There were no sneaked bonbons or any other good reason for me to gain a bit since yesterday.  Frankly I had a great nutrition and exercise day.  I got my run in and I felt great.

Nevertheless I’m heavier than I was yesterday AND my body fat % bounced as well.

This is normal.  As we said before diets are non-linear.  Human bodies are non-linear.  Measuring your weight, especially daily, will make you crazy if you tie emotion to it.  It’s the normal ebb and flow of your body’s cycles.

I am fighting a bit of a cold.  I didn’t eat dinner until 9:00 pm yesterday and I’m up on the scale at 5:00.

Point is – don’t freak out or make any changes to your strategy based on a single data point.

Cheers,
