It's been a while since I posted the weekly numbers roundup, probably since before we went skiing and I had a couple of months of enforced rest and wasn't feeling like shouting about it. So, given that my current crusade is still to get back on track from when my weighing scales broke back in June of last year it's time to start finding more ways to help keep myself on the path. That problem with the scales was quite a blow to my maintenance and getting back the 5kg that I'd put on without knowing it (mm, that's how much the old scales were under-reporting by!) has been slow work with a couple of set-backs along the way. I'm almost back to where I thought I was before I discovered the scales were broken, but I want to finish getting there and work on body fat loss so the last remaining wobbly bit stops being quite so wobbly.
Here goes...

Exercise count: 8

ReplyDeleteHave you considered that you're holding water? Surely a given, considering you've increased volume and have changed your weights routine. Plus if you're eating properly to sustain the exercise (which you are), then your body will also increase glycogen stores. Again, more water.
I replied to this on your 7 week challenge thread already, but thought I'd add it here as I know how disheartening it can be when you've done things by the book and still haven't lost weight. Stick with it chick. When you've only got a bit to lose, and are doing the amount of training that you do, it's bound to be slow. You're doing the right things for the results that you want though - it just takes a lot of consistency and commitment over time to change body composition.

Hey Alison, thanks for that little kick up the bum there :o) I reckon you're pretty much on the money there, lots of factors involved in doing more exercise. I forget that even though I've been weight training for just over a year now, adding in whacking great loads (for me) more intervally-style cardio is going to make a difference.
