>.< Maybe I just gained muscle from that last resistance workout... ¬_¬
OK, so, I'm gaining weight, at least as of the last couple of days. What's changed? Not a great deal, other than my sleep is a bit worse, but otherwise, I've fasted, I've eaten a considerable caloric deficit, and I've exercised. Yes I've had "cheat" foods here and there, but nothing insane that throws my calories, carbs, and fats way outta whack.
I think it's time for a change. There's three things I could do:
1. Add even more cardio, but with more intensity - interval style, as usual. This could be in the form of more biking (something I don't do regularly, but now and again, if I feel walking is a bit boring) or, I could give jogging a go again. I think the latter option would be best to truly shock my body, because last time, I felt absolutely wrecked.
2. I could lower the calories even more, but I'm already at around -1000kcal, and have two 600kcal fasts in a week, so I think I've already stretched that far enough.
3. I guess I could go for a bulk for a month, maybe less. It feels WAY too soon for that, but if I do it, I'll gain muscle, which'll mean I'll be able to lose more fat, especially at resting, which is great. Might be the shock I need.
Ultimately, I think the latter part of the first option is best. I'll give it a go, and if it wrecks me too much, I'll think of something else. Instead of 20-30 minutes, I'll go with 15-20 minutes. Just gotta get over that anxiety of jogging in public again... I'm one of those very reserved people. x_x

That video just helped a ton. Now I will stop freaking out. This up and down thing is apparently very normal, even if you're doing well. I have been eating a lot of sauce, like hot sauce, which is really full of sodium, so I'm gonna ease off on that ... completely. I have another sauce but I'll use it until it's empty. (don't wanna waste it :P) Yeah, see how things go. Might start eating a bit more fruit, too... I don't usually like to eat much fruit because of the sugar, but I'll give it a go for a few weeks.
