Can somebody enlighten me?

Why is it... when I'm hardcore on my eating program.. I'm religiously eating clean.  I exercise every day, I'm a good.. good girl, I lose nothing or gain for several weeks at a time.

BUT... I go camping, I eat like total crap, I drank way too much, we went to the fair... I ate a bread bowl full of chowder, some corn fritters with honey butter, a turkey leg and some birthday cake.. and I show a SIX POUND loss???

In the words of my ex policeman hubby... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?????

Yanno, as much as we'd like for life to be predictable, sometimes it's a crapshoot! 
Congrats on the 6 pound loss (while having FUN)!

Maybe it was all that running around while you were camping??  Sounds like you had fun.  I've been hesitating going camping one last time, but I think I'm calling it a summer. :(  

 

Sometimes, shaking up the calories or the macros of fat/protein/carbs surprise the body into release.

hey, why ask why????

The downside is that if this keeps up, be afraid...weight loss for no reason can be a diabetes indicator. Just keep that in mind if it keeps up.

All i can say is once in a while, when we take the complete focus off food, we do lots better than is expected. Camping can make me stay level (like you I drink like WC fields out there and of course, eat camp food), due to all the hiking, swimming, etc.

I love Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!!!  LOL.

Can someone enlighten me?  What is Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

WTF

Thanks Neecee for the explanation.  I was thinking that Fox**** might have had something to do with Rosebud looking so cute!

Um, Rosebud doesn't look cute yet but I'm hoping for porn star perfection or something close.  You know me, normal ain't good enough....perfection is my goal. 

BTW, I thought people just said, "WTF?"!  It is what it is, no?

Girl, it happens to me too.  When I was doing WW or jus****ching my calories, I ALWAYS did better on the week I had McD's or something naughty.  No clue why.  Maybe you're not eating enough calories? Enough Fat?
