On Tuesday, I weighed 1.5 lbs more (back to original weight), however I weighed myself just a few days later, against my better judgement so I dismissed this as a water retention anomaly.
Today (Friday), I weighed 1.0 lb more than last week.
Mildly frustrated (because I am giving myself time to learn about my metabolism and habits etc.), I reviewed the amount of calories I racked up in the "Snack" category for the whole week, and this is how that looked:
So, given that I was creating a deficit every day of the week, according to my Armband, it seems that the snacks were adversely affecting whatever weight loss my body was trying to achieve.
This information was very sobering and I definitely reconsidered putting my hand in the jar of M&Ms at work. I only took 3.
In the week ahead, I am going to try and significantly reduce the amount of snacking I do, which is done primarily in the evenings after dinner, or in the morning at work, or in times of anxiety.
