4 Days out from North Americans

So Today is the 3rd day into my last week. That means only 4 days to go to look my best. Today did not go exactly as planned but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Over the weekend, I had a low day (Saturday) where I ate about 1/2 my normal dieting carb intake (75 grams). On Sunday, I raised my carbs up to about 150% of my BW which put me around 225 grams. On both of those days I kept my water high (about 2.5-3 gallons) and my sodium high as well (over 3,000 mg.) On Sunday morning I looked as expected...tight, vascular, but a a bit flat. This morning, after 225 carbs, 3 gallons of water and 3,000 mg sodium I expected to be up in weight and look a bit less tight but fuller. To my surprise, I woke up even tighter than the day before and down 2 pounds (154.2). The only explanation is my body is revved up and I am literally burning through the calories. I admit, I panicked a little but by trusty advisor Lorrie reminded me that we still have 4 days which is plenty of time to "fill out". Like I said above it's not necessarily a bad thing because I'd rather be tighter and a bit flat as opposed to full and less cut. That being said, I don't want to settle for anything less than my best, so I will continue that plan today which is to drop about 25 carbs from yesterday and knock by sodium down a bit (2500 mg). If I'm even flatter and lighter tomorrow I may adjust the plan.
