Put 4 pounds on over the last couple of weeks. Can't say I'm overly surprised as I've been indulging for 3 or 4 days with the arrival of the inlaws. So all that careful calorie-counting went well & truly out of the window!
However, I would also like to think this weight-gain is also because of fat turning to muscle now that I've been following a strength & flex regime courtesy of the NHS over the last month!
Even though the scales say I've put on 4 pounds, it doesn't "feel" like I have. I can still slip into new, smaller-sized clothes just as well; and perhaps the best indicator of all is my trouser belt. Over the last 4 months of this diet, I've been constantly moving the buckle-pin inwards to the next hole, even to the point of manually drilling new holes to accommodate my weight loss. Admittedly my belt looks a bit tatty with all these extra holes, and to be fair, I only wear it at home. But just like a tide-mark, or tree rings, my belt clearly shows my steady progress over the months, and I look at that one particular hole - the last hole near the end of the belt, that I used to occupy. And now here I am preparing to drill one last hole before giving up on the belt completely!
Anyway, need to get shed of those 4 unexpected pounds - muscle or otherwise.
