no weight gain???

after being decadent, at Southern Decadence with food, wine, drink, fish, oysters, beef, and drink again. And little sleep. I have not gained a pound. What's up with that? Well, I did swell up with the humidity, and lost it all, once back in CA. In any case off to meet my gym trainer after over a week of no work out tomorrow night and Saturday. Last time we met, I doubled my dead lifts in about a week. And hope to do that with the bench press this week and the next. Hope I did not loose my strength over this vacation time. We will see. What I don't understand is he keeps me concentrating on my pecs. They are getting big (which i get complements on). But hope he begins concentrating on other parts soon. We have started on legs and back, and shoulders. But I want him to help me more on my arms. Well..... he is the expert. So we shall see what else pain he will inflict me with :-)

Trust me. I'm an expert at this. The extra pounds are there. They're just hiding. Watching. Waiting. For when you drop your guard. When you lest expect it. They'll pounce.

They always do.

Well. Your right. Although I did not eat 3 meals per day, walked a lot. They say that it takes 2-3 weeks for neg or positive weight changes in the body to occur. Good thing I'm back on track at the gym.

Your weight, explained.

Your weight is the amount that you weigh, plus the "bran flakes" you haven't digested yet, plus or minus the amount of water you've consumed or need to consume.

It varies. It's all over the map.

Now, being a big guy, I thought I'd introduce you to something related - the "cargo shift". This is when your size and weight work "out of sync" with each other.

Examples: You haven't gained a lb., but your jeans don't fit. The scale says you're 10 lbs. heavier (or lighter), but it doesn't show in the way your clothes fit.

Yep. I've experience the cargo shift many a time.
