Exercise Frustration....

Posted on August 13, 2014

I made this public announcement on the forum that I would run a mile every day. I have and paired it with weight training and a 1200-1400 calorie diet. I will say, the diet is not plant based. Perhaps, I need to add more of them. Not the point.

Since working out, 5 days - I know it's not a ton but I thought a pound or two. No, in fact I've gained 2 lbs. WTF....I know muscle weighs more than fat. But hot damn.....when is this going to turn around!?

Give your body time to figure out this new routine. A pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same, but the muscle takes up much less volume, so don't forget to use your measuring tape in addition to the scale to monitor your progress. And, most of all, hang in there. You're doing healthy things for yourself, and that's worth celebrating even more than a number on a scale.

If you start working out a lot when you previously were not working out or working out sporadically you aren't going to like what the scale has to say. If you want to know accurately what your body is doing I would measure yourself with a tape measure. Also one of the digital scales these pick up on water weight now.

Yeah, I'm in a pissed off scale day too :( Teressa actually posted a really good blog on my post earlier.
