I made myself get on the scale today. 
I hate the dread and anticipation of seeing where the numbers fall. I baked homemade bread over the weekend for the grands and of course ate more than is wise while dieting. 
But it wasnāt bad after all, Iāve lost 1 pound this week.

Well unfortunately I have gained weight 
I didnāt weigh myself as I donāt know my exact weight. But I literally canāt fit into a pair of shorts that I wore right before I got clean 2 weeks ago! This is upsetting me abit. But this just means I need to make a few adjustments. To actually workout more often and making better eating choices. Iāve sort of been rewarding my clean time with food. I canāt gain weight. Of course recovery is top priority but mentally I canāt do a large amount of weight gain and add to the weight I already do have

The sober bloat is killin me. My lifting feels off from it and my energy is low from lack of calories. Not that beer was actually nutritious 
Iām down 3.8lb last week so letās see what this week holds! Itās my 3s week (on Wendlerās 531 + pyramid plan) so I might not lose weight due to heavier lifts
Any powerlifters or bodybuilders here??

Skinny tipā¦
When your needing a good period of low calorie eating but you are Hungry alotā¦ the trick that I use to fill me up , that taste good, is good for you, and has minimal caloriesā¦
Buy a bag of pre washed pre chopped vegetables.
No prep needed.
Lightly blanch for a minute or two.
Eat with chopsticks
Dip into terriyaki sauce.
So yum and filling and low on calories!

It actually tastes so good. The terriyaki sauce is Just so yummy with it .
I just lightly dip each piece of vegetable in the sauce individually eating slowly.
So I donāt just Pour sauce over the vegetables, I use the sauce as a minimal light dip.
It really hits the spot! And when the bag has a variety of vegetables it doesnāt taste boring

Girl I put on 24 kgs in the first 11 months I was cleanā¦ 24kg!
I went from 50kg to 74kg in 11 months.
All because I got clean and started eating the entire universeā¦ 
All I can say Is be cautious of what your eating because the calories add up over time.
I never thought in a million years Iād put on weight. Iād never been over 50kg in my life.
But it happened. Because I stopped using and started eating regularly and then some.
Donāt eat processed foods. No sugars or starchy cards. No sweets.
Eat fresh produce. A little bit of naughty foods apparently add up over time. You donāt see it coming but it sneaks up on you.
Stay active. Walk alot. Like a lot! 
Have Sunday as your ācheat dayā

Thanks April for your help! I appreciate u commenting cuz it does concern me alot. I already have body image issues and so I donāt want to make it worse. I do eat everything. I eat when Iām not hungry, bored, emotional, stressed, and eat processed sugary foods alot. My portion sizes I think have gotten bigger too. And Iām noticing Iām rewarding myself with food which I donāt like doing. I want to see food as energy and eat only as much as I really need and not as a reward ya know? Iām going to the gym in the am and I have a workout plan in place. But they do say itās 80% diet and 20% exercise (or something like that lol)ā¦ so I need to address my food issue for sure.

This is a big one for me. I do it ALL THE TIME
Also when Iām feeling blah and shitty if Iāve had a day that didnāt go to plan. It could be the smallest thing that sets me off, if something doesnāt go my way, I instantly use it as a reason to go to the supermarket and buy ice cream , chocolate, cheese, crackers etc all the bad thingsā¦ just because Iām feeling blahā¦
Itās a very hard habit to break.
All that bad food added up.
And its VERY hard for me to loose the weight now.
Iām down to 66 kgs. So I lost 8kgs. But itās a slow and hard process.
Donāt get to where Iām at. Stay on top of it and watch what your consuming
Because our bodies are not use to consuming like this and our bodies were so different when we used daily.
Every time I relapsed the past few times it was because I couldnāt handle being so over weight.
In the few weeks Iād be in relapse Iād lose about 5 kgs a week, so then Iād be feeling less like a whaleā¦ then as soon as I got clean again, within 3 weeks the Weight just comes back onā¦ it was so depressing!!
I canāt recommend to you enough, just stay away from processed foods and take away. Cut out all sugars and carbs

Well I got my butt out of bed 
hit the gym for an hour. Iām trying some new things. Trying to get a routine going.
Today I did 15 min of HIIT on the elliptical
And did triceps and chest
Just sort of tried to determine my weight for dumbbells. Iām thinking if doing 3 sets of 10. If Iām wrong, someone plz tell me
Cardio kicked my butt lop I actually broke a sweat lol
Then I ate 3 scrambles eggs and a cheese bun with coffee. And I actually only ate 1/2 the bun cuz I wanna cut carbs abit (I eat WAYYY too many carbs).
So far so good today I think ā

Yes best thing to do is sauce on the side. You donāt realize it takes very little until you do it that way. Canāt wait to have some of these for dinner

Just a little suggestion, if you swap the wrap for a pitta bread itās more filling, less calories and lower fat content. Wraps have a high fat saturation level, although as long as itās in moderation donāt worry too much!
