Rambling time.....
Looks like I've jinxed myself, again, +0.8 up & I can feel every ounce of it. I know its mostly water retention as I'm still puffy & very achey (hope this isnt my lupus flaring up) & although I stayed close to my UD allowance, I didnt help myself by having a very carby day.
So am I surprised? No (I'm use to the bouncing scales) ... should I have known better? Yes ( I've learnt the good, the bad & the downright ugly about my body's responses to certain foods).... Am I disappointed? Not really ...ish lol (I know Juddd is very forgiving & my body can throw a strop from time to time, so I just stay steadfast & wait for it to fall in line)
Having been on Juddd for nearly 9 months I seen these patterns before & I know for me that a couple of moderate carbs UDs < 100g & low carbs DDs <30g will get the scales nudging downwards again. As I'm happy with the losses this month (anything over a 1lb a week is good, but 2lb would be better) I'm not feeling pushed to make any major changes, but I know if I dont want them to slow down even further I'll have to accept that I cant get away with too many high carb days.
My losses have dropped from 10lbs a month to 6 ish over the past 9 months & I've stayed with the same UD/DD cals from the start, So to stop the rot I'm gonna to revisit the Juddd calculator & have a little rethink for March.
