This has been a most frustrating week that ended with me gaining 2.42 pounds (1.1kg) on Saturday weigh-in. I had effectively gained weight every day even though my food and exercise were very good. I can only blame the weight gain on a combination of period related hormonal changes, lack of sleep and perhaps water retention from the warmer weather.

Not all bad news though, the good news is that I soldiered on and didn’t allow the weight-gain to derail my weight loss efforts and even better news is that the excess weight gain seem to be shifting, so fingers crossed it’s all good to go.
