Diet update: Hiccup

I write these journals for two reasons, keep myself on task, and to maybe show others walking the same path how I deal with it, particularly mistakes, so it's important I mention the problems. You learn *nothing* you didn't already know by a simple success

If you weren't already steadily gaining weight, and you haven't changed your eating habits, it's likely just increasing muscle mass. This is especially true if you had been working out before, but stopped for an extended period.

You may also have increased your food intake due to hunger from working out more. This is a pretty heavy schedule, so I'd just make a log of what you eat each day, then look it over at the end of the week.

Also, if you eat out a lot, it's WAY easy to start ordering the bigger, heavier meals when your hungrier. So keep that in mind. One of the big keys for me to losing weight was eating at home, where I control the portions and what goes into my food. If you can't do that, then you need to look carefully at what your ordering.

Addendum: Look at your waist. Measure at your bellybutton and do that along with the weighing in. That will tell you if your putting on fat, or just more muscle.

Either way, you should show a drop after your muscle mass catches up with what your doing.
