Well, I'm not really sure what to say about this week. I went on a half hour brisk walk each day and cycled for a full hour as well. I kept my calories between 1200-1400, kept fat intake high but not too high and I made sure to get plenty of protein. The only thing that can be harder to keep low would be carbs, but you'd think it wouldn't matter for as hard as I'm pushing myself with exercise at this point. The only way I can possibly explain that I can't get out of the 200-205 weigh range is that maybe my muscle growth is accelerated at this point and the loss will take some time to kick in. It's really hard to distinguish normal pain from too much when you have chronic pain, but I push myself to the point that my muscles throb and pulse and there is aching, but I'm not too sore to keep exercising.
I'm no less motivated to keep going but I'm a bit discouraged not to see any weight loss. Sure, I feel a bit better, but I'm more than 30 lbs overweight and that's not healthy. I want to start moving that along. I really can't think of anything else I can do at this point, so I'll keep going. I'm really doing all the right things at this point so I can only hope that maybe I'm overachieving on muscle gain and it will get the fat burn kicking into high gear soon. Looks like I have more research to do.
Hopefully, I have better news when I weigh in next week!
