Weekly Update November 26 2015

I missed updating last week because it was my period and I didn't want to weigh myself.  I guess I could have written an update without the numbers anyway but I just didn't think about it.  For this week, I was working on Tuesday, so I was going to weigh myself on Wednesday instead.  But then I forgot.  So here's those numbers (from a few minutes ago):

weight: 210.4 lbs
fat percentage: 45.6%
hydration: 37.4%
muscle: 26.8%
bone: 10.7%
cal: 2348

This really isn't good.  I have .1% less fat percentage and .1% more muscle percentage than two weeks ago.  Also my weight is back to where I started.  Even though I feel like I was more active this week (my mom and I did 40 minutes of yoga on Monday night and I can still feel it in my core, plus I went swimming with my dad on Tuesday and really felt like I had worked, although that is probably in part due to my lung capacity being crap right now and still feeling sore from yoga).

So realistically, I feel like I should be weighing the same as two weeks ago or slightly less.  It's possible I'm not doing enough activity during the rest of the week I guess.  But I'm thinking this has more to do with my eating habits.

I don't feel like I've been eating out any more than normal.  But I know I had lots of meals at my parents' house where I felt like I ate way too much.  One meal was mashed potatoes; I know I had a second helping, followed by some cookies (so that's pretty heavy starch).  I went to Subway with a friend (which was fine) before swimming, but then ate a doughnut after swimming, too (the worst part about that was the doughnut wasn't very good).  So I think for this week, I'm going to keep track of what I eat.  I'm going to try not to judge myself - I just want to get a picture of everything I'm eating to see next week if I can do better.  This is especially important because I'm coming up on Christmas soon, so I want to get a better handle on this stuff before then!
