Eating Is Not Going Well

I haven’t weighed myself since before I went to MEPS last week, and I hadn’t been really worried about it. I was eating regularly and good portions, gaining weight at a nice clip, and hadn’t been doing much cardio just for the extra cushion at MEPS.

But…now I’m kinda worrying.

My diet has been TERRIBLE since MEPS. The first day there I had a snickers bar, and that’s it, the 6 hours I was there. No water (except a few sips from the fountain) and no “real” food. The second day, aside from breakfast at 5 AM, I had a snickers bar and 2 cookies. When I got home I ate a heap at Hooters, but eating like that doesn’t really balance well.

Weight issues

I thought I was doing pretty good with my eating, but evidently I was wrong. I weighed myself this morning and I’ve dropped 2 lbs give or take. Which I know isn’t a lot, but I don’t have that much margin of error! I have MEPS on Tuesday (a week from today) and I have to plan on them possibly having a scale that weighs me lighter, them weighing me before I eat, and / or (pardon me) me taking a big crap before getting weighed!

I ate like crazy (well…for me) on a trip John, Avery and I took last weekend and this morning was the first I ran since last Thursday (*hangs head*). We did do a lot of walking, so maybe that countered all the calories I packed in at Sonics?

I went to CVS this morning and grabbed some Boost drinks and some pop tarts to snack on…and some ice cream, lol. I’m also planning on hitting the push ups, sit ups, squats, etc. pretty hard and easing up on the cardio this week. Hopefully I’ll pack on a little more muscle before MEPS.

Watch me have all this trouble putting weight on and then I’ll be complaining in a few years that I can’t lose any weight!

Gaining Weight – It Ain’t Easy!

Ok stop rolling your eyes and making snarky comments about how you wish you had that problem…It really isn’t that easy to gain weight when you have to. I have to!

A few weeks ago, when I first went and talked with my recruiter, I found out I’m underweight. If I weighed myself after I ate, I’d be right at weight. So, it’s not like I’m horribly under, just a little.
