Welcome to another half-size-me audio blog. I am your host, Heather, and this blog post is titled

The Second Part of the Best Five Pounds I Ever Gained. So just to give you some insight as to what it was I have

been doing, the average calories, I've been actually tracking what my average calories have been

every single weeks in starting this and what

changes have occurred on my home scale. So when I first started this, let me just preface this first,

my home scale is about two pounds heavier than my Weight Watchers scale. So if I had weighed

149 at Weight Watchers, that would mean I would have roughly been 151, 151 and a half, something like that on my

home scale. So the pre-prior to starting any of the body recomposition stuff, I was 151.2 on my

home scale. The first week in, I went all in. I did the highest amount of calories that were roughly estimated based on my energy expenditure,

and that was 2,911. So I basically up my calories by 1,000 a day. And my weight went up to 155.4. The second

week, it was, my calories were 2,542. I dropped it. And my weight was 154.8. And then the third week, I went to

2,406 calories, and my weight was 155.6. Week four, I ate 2,172 calories, and my weight was 155.4.

Week 5, I ate 2,385 calories on average, and my weight was 155.4. Week 5, I ate 2,385 calories on average, and my weight was 155.6. And then week

six, I was at 2,325 calories, and my weight was 156.4. So just to give you an idea of roughly my average

calories in and what I was weighing in on my home scale. So the first week,

of course, I had to spike up in my weight. Now, in all honesty, I didn't diet down from the

previous week. Typically, I tended to cut my calories on Thursday and Friday to keep the scale between

150 and 152, but I chose not to do it that week because I knew I was going to be starting the body

recomposition. So I gained a total of five pounds over the course of six weeks, but I chose not to do it that week because I knew I was going to be starting the body recomposition. So I gained a total five pounds over the course of six weeks, but I finally freed

myself from the fearful mindset of eating and needing to exercise more than I wanted to, or doing

exercise I really wasn't super crazy about just to maintain my weight. For me, the first week was a nice

change of pace, but it was a lot more
