...you proudly say it's muscle, or you do what most women do...BLAME IT ON THE FAT! =(
Week #3: 136.5 Lbs., gained 2.5 Lbs from week prior, gained 0.3% Body Fat. I believe that a pound of my weight gain is FAT. Should I give up and hate myself? Here's my story: I worked out EVERYDAY and HARD, but I did not eat 100% clean. My eating pattern was thrown off by my emotions again. Control slipped away when I decided to quit my job and give them my two-weeks notice..so I didn't eat, or I ate too much. I tried my hardest to eat healthy food, but then fried chicken won the emotional battle. I ate 15 wings at a birthday party, plus chocolate layer cake, plus cheese cake. Emotional eating is a habit I can't get rid of. When I gain weight, I automatically blame the food and myself. I suddenly forget about all the hours in the gym and all the hard work. So, I took a minute, a little breather, to remind myself that I did gain weight. Was it healthy weight??? In the end, I did the math and... MUSCLE WON because I gained 1.5 Lbs of muscle to my 1 pound of fat. When muscle-mass is growing, there is no shame in packing pounds, ever! =) p.s. I tried a group yoga class, which I haven't done for years and I love it! Someone that has a 24 hour fitness membership should join me!
