Paul and I decided we are the only people in the world that can train for a marathon and gain weight. I think the scale is wrong. Although it is telling me my body fat is dropping. We have one of those goofy Tanita weight/body comp things. I decided that there are a multitude of issues wrong w the scale: 1–It considers me dehydrated, 2–it considers me overhydrated, 3–the humidity from the shower is messing it up, 4–Paul is stepping on it behind me (even when he is at work), 5–my feet are wet from the shower, 6–did I say dehydrated?
So I decided that I was going to go back to measuring out food (I even have a healthy food message ready when Anna asks me what I am doing so I don’t scar her w weight issues). Paul has a scale so it makes it even more precise…when it works. It told me that it only takes like 2 pecans and a raisin to equal 300 calories? When did THAT happen? Yet 3 cups of spinach leaves and 3 pinches of feta crumbles is only about 60 calories. Sheesh. I wonder how many calories that Valentine’s Hershey bar was today? I was craving a candy bar for about 3 hours. By the time I gave in I needed the king size. Yep, needed it. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
Fiber–yeah, don’t even get me started. All I gotta say is never go from 0 to 18 g in 1 day. Nuff said.
Good luck with that! I was just thinking the same thing….I have been getting out of control with my eating lately. It is just wrong that all the good stuff is full of calories!
It was actually cashews and not pecans.
