redwinelover's Journal, 19 March 2010

Well, here it is a week later and I'm finally back to that 162. This is like walking up a down escalator. Oh well, it is what it is. That's my philosophy at the moment. It has to be or I'd give up. I have to take consolation in that I absolutely must be building muscle here and the small amount of weight I've lost has to be fat loss and not water, fat and muscle tissue. I just finished my work out. I did the Banish Fat Boost Metabolism dvd (52 min with 5 min. warm-up), and then did level 1 of Cardio Max, 20 min. work out and the 5 min. yoga cool down. Bodybugg said I burned just over 600 calories during this work out, so that makes me feel good.
Wanted to hike this weekend, but we have to get to the pool and take care of it. Already getting to the mid 80's a couple of times. Always seems to be the way it is - cool or cold, and then BAM, its hot. Maybe I can find a 3 or 4 mile hike close to home, leave by 6:00am and be back in plenty of time to do the pool. The hikes are great calorie burning work outs that are SO enjoyable. And a nice break from working out at home, too.

You've got a valid thought there: building muscle does initially lead to an increase in weight. Remember that you should check out how your clothing fits as well as how the scale moves. If the clothes fit better, then you're getting somewhere. Also, every time you are able to burn 3500 more calories than you've consumed (not in one day, but over time) that's one pound of fat that's been burned! This weight wasn't put on overnight, it won't go away overnight, but you CAN do this! Being aware of your intake and your exercise is just one step to getting there. Keep it up!
