So my steady progression of slight muscle gain this week didn't happen I stayed the same. Which if you think about it isn't a bad thing. What may have happened is I shed more of the remaining fat stores (not that there is much of that) than I had gained in muscle. I can live with that.
The thing about a journey like this is that it will never ever be a straight line toward success. What you have to do to stay motivated, is learn to live with those sorts of changes. You have to observe your goal as a long term project and you can't measure every step linearly.
Sometimes your weight will go up or down without explanation. We have incredibly complex system's governing our bodies, and sometimes they behave in ways that aren't predictable. What you have to focus on is both the long term goal, and being consistent. Are you eating right and exercising to the best of your ability, and overall are things trending the right way for you.
Its easier said then done due to our nature to be goal and achievement motivated people. You really do just have to learn to live with it when things don't go exactly 100% perfect.
Staying motivated in the face of that reality is the key to success.
