weigh in this morning.  

weight:  164  

body fat percentage: 26%

accuracy of this measurement:  0%

does it matter within the “game” whether this first weight and body fat % is correct:  NO!

i kept myself up until 3am (reading but still awake) because of all the food i had eaten so late.  it is safe to say i will not crave mac and cheese for a minute.  i felt sick waking up, weighed myself, 153…okay, but knew i could put on another 5 pounds of water weight plus maybe a little bit of food in my stomach.  i had to weigh myself twice and i checked the accuracy of the scale, but sure enough, i put on “20 pounds” in 2 weeks, and even slightly more shocking, 11 pounds in 1 morning!  i am beaming with pride.  i should probably be maybe a little bit embarrassed because mid-160’s for a girl, a professional athlete none the less…that is just HEAVY!  

it was hard to break my mentality of calorie counting and watching what i ate even if for only 24 hours.  it was hard to think of putting on weight as a good thing.  it was only for one day though.  i have slacked on diet and exercise the last 2 weeks and with the combo of the 2, i did probably gain 5 pounds, but i know that it will all shed easily enough.  once i get back down to the mid-140s then the real challenge begins.  

i am pumped, i could be the next Peachtree City biggest loser!  

of course, all the while i need to keep my mind on the bigger picture and i need to focus on my training for Augusta and Cozumel, but it is fun to have this side goal.  Also, j-dogg has us keeping food logs which i am excited for, but dread all at the same time.  it is going to be exhausting and mentally challenging to write down all the food that i eat and the break down of protien, carbs, etc.  i have to eat to train which means a couple thousand calories a day…oh, all the writing and all the thinking!
