Wow! I say there is a first time for everything because this is the first time in my life that I have not actually wanted the scale to go down so fast. In the past, I would have been stoked to lose 2.5 lbs in a week! Not the new Cait. ;) 

*By Monday (day 6), I had already lost 2.5 lbs which I felt was too quick of a rate. I'm not trying to lose the little hard-earned muscle that I have actually put on this past year. Tuesday, I upped my carbs to 97 (+16C) just as a test to see what would happen. I gained .5 lbs, which I am sure was water. I've noticed a lot of reverse dieters reporting this phenomenon as they introduce a significant carb increase initially. I wanted to try to balance out my weight, so yesterday (Tuesday), I brought my carbs down to 91 which seems to be a good place for now. So I do want to say, for the sake of this experiment, that the AVERAGE calories for last week was 987:
[(5x972) + 1036Monday + 1012Tuesday] / 7 =987
I'm going to TRY not to make adjustments like that during the week. It was the first week so I was just trying to get a feel for how my body responds.

This past week I felt a lot of stronger in the gym! I'm already feeling the effects of increased carbs and fats plus the new CONSISTENCY of daily caloric intake. And it is GOOD. Also, eating oatmeal before working out is GOOD. I used to restrict so hardcore that I wouldn't eat before working out.. and I'm not talking about fasted cardio. I'm taking about heavy lifting days. No more of that nonsense! By the way, I have reduced my HIIT sessions to just 1x/wk now. I've been focusing more on resting less between sets and doing supersets/drop sets to keep my heart rate up… aka "cardio" from lifting. I also started a new split:

Monday - Biceps/Triceps/Abs
Tuesday - Glute/Quad
Wednesday - Shoulders/Back
Thursday - Hamstring/Quad/Calf
Friday - Chest/Triceps
Saturday - HIIT/Plyo/Abs
Sunday - Zzzzzzzzzz

This week I am adding in 10C and 2F. I want to keep my calories consistent so unless I'm losing/gaining a TON of weight really quickly, I will not adjust midweek or anything. Yay for being over 1000 calories! Let's see if I can get to 2000 some day. If I can make it there, I will have to throw a 2000K Party! :P
