Livejournal updates, yeay!!!
Oh man.
New stuff happening. Not sure.
Here's the gig. In the last 4-6 weeks, without much change in my fitness or my diet really - I've gained about 17 lbs. While I have whined about my general weight fluctuating up slowly after my injury and rehabbing - I have stabilized between 145-150 for about 2 years, without drastic change.
Yes. I'm serious. The change IS on my scale, and the doctor's office scale.
No, I doubt it's all muscle mass, seeing as how it *feels*.
I've been working out daily - I've done Yoga almost every day, and choose to run and lift weights the rest of the time, in the last month doubling up on the days. Sometimes I skip a day of working out and do yoga twice in one day to make up for it (I was doing my 30 day challenge).
At first I thought I was imagining my body image becoming more and more blah. I got upset about it initially. And then I realized my clothes were starting to suck. So I went and got some temporary shirts as to not showcase my new lower mid section. STILL, I don't look as big as a house - but when did I ever look as big as a house? It's still notable that while I've had a few slip ups, weird binges in the last 2 months - I really do not believe it was in excess of my BASE caloric intake, (so, on top of what must be 1700-2000 calories daily to maintain) an excess of 11,000 calories per week. That's staggering, especially considering the work out schedule. I would think I burn between 400-600 extra from working out alone. I just did the math, and eating an excess of 11,000 calories a day is like, me eating 3000 calories a day, or double what I *know* I stick around.
I'm utterly confused. Truly, wholly.
I was nervous that if I went to the doc's they'd say, "oh you're fat and eating too much," but in leui of my paranoia - I scheduled a visit yesterday afternoon. Now - we ran a blood test for hypothyroidism, but if it isn't that, my doc seemed baffled.
I'm not a happy camper. For spending anywhere between 1-3 hours a day working out - and WATCHING almost everything that goes in my mouth, I don't expect an ultra-gain. Sure, if I fuck up - I'm happy to accept the funky 5lbs here and there. BUt this, this was wild.
166lbs, when my last weigh in was 149 in mid April, and I know I didn't REALLY start to get fucked up until at worst, 3-4 weeks ago. Blarg.
So, tomorrow my doctor calls me back with the test results.
A little anxious for the phone call tomorrow - not sure exactly what I'm hoping to hear really.
Do I want it to be normal? Not sure.
Does anyone really *want* to have hypothyroid?
More or less I don't want to continue to be baffled by the past few weeks. Naturally. Anyhow. Tomorrow it is.
