How a pound can creep up on you.

shareces

I just lost a pound earlier this week, stepped on the scale this morning and sure enough, I jumped up one pound. Now I know I ate up a storm yesterday (went to a Caribbean jerk festival and in one sitting ate a days worth of calories), but it's amazing how hard I've been working out and still the calorie math beats me to it. I'm not going to down myself about this because the physical results of my time in the gym are evident, but that pound creeping up is a reminder of my 20lb journey and how I working hard to get down to 130-125.
Good lil article about how easy it is to pack on one pound. Gotta be mindful of those lil bites here and there. :drinker:

..."Gaining and losing weight is really about math. In order to lose a pound, you must burn or cut out 3,500 calories per week (500 calories a day). Unfortunately on the other side of the equation, if you consistently overeat an extra 500 calories each day . . . well . . . that's how you end up not fitting into your pants. Calories add up, and here is a simple breakdown to illustrate how easy it can be to eat an extra 500 calories in one day. Do this over the course of seven days, and you're bound to see the scale jump up one pound.

Breakfast
•One half and half container in your cup of coffee (20 calories): The same amount of skim milk is only six calories.
•One small bite of a Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut (47 calories): Thanks to your boss for bringing in a box to share, and I know they melt in your mouth, but had you known that little bite was almost 50 calories, you may have passed.
