Happy Friday everyone!
A bounce up for my weight. Since it's such a drastic bounce I think it's just water weight. My muscles are sore and may be retaining water from all of the exercise I'm doing. Could also be too much salt the past couple of days. We'll see what happens next week.
There was an article in the Washington Post about how exercise is not the way to lose weight. It primarily focused on moderate intensity exercise and how the body compensates to prevent one from losing weight. This included decreasing one's BMR and increasing appetite. These are two things I'm struggling with at the moment. My morning heart rate has been in the low 40's meaning my resting calorie burn has decreased. It does vary but I have noticed it has been decreasing overall as I get fitter. Also my appetite for calorie dense foods has increased, primarily nightly cravings for salted nuts. I've tried to get a handle on this but I haven't been successful. I've tried other foods to compensate but nothing has helped so far. Maybe I just need a different focus when I get these.
On the exercise front, I have two more sessions with the trainer and then I'm on my own. Since I'm primarily focused on running I still go the gym twice a week but it will be to help strengthen muscles needed to better my running rather than overall training. I plan on running for an hour tonight although I'm pretty sore from the trainer working my legs last night. I'm guessing it will be tough but I'll make it.
Have a great day and weekend!
