I stepped on the scale today, horrified by the number I saw. Then I remembered that I'm on my period and bloated beyond belief. So I'm not going to do the numbers this week. I don't think its fair, so I'm boycotting the scale until my body is returned to me in a stable condition after this menstrual ransom. For our purposes, lets just say I didn't gain or lose any weight this week. Alright? Alright.
Pounds lost this week: 0
Total pounds lost: 63

Oh girl I always gain like 4 pounds during TOM! Don't stress about it :)
It seems to be pretty normal for your body not to do so well if you haven't eaten beef for a while. I just talked about that in my blog at http://juicedietingforhealth.blogspot.com/2012/03/beware-of-beef-after-long-fast.html.
My experience with this issue when I fast all of the time. Some vegetarians who try to eat beef have the same problem.
Also, I am on day 24 of my fast, and my weight actually still goes up every now and then, too! So rest assure that it happens. Plus, we (significant other and I) have learned to expect a bounce in weight after a good workout or two since your muscles hold water afterwards. It's normal.
I hope that helps!
(((((Sarah!)))) You are truly an inspiration!
Guess what! I found an 2009 excel spreadsheet I used to document weight & BMI while I was cycling. It turns out that I "gained" 5lbs in a week, but I lost 3% body fat. I hope that helps! You're body will hoard water during recovery. Especially if you are taking in salts. :)
