Many times, people who start a plan become worried when they notice a weight gain instead of a loss after their first few weeks of exercising. Or they’re concerned because they’ve added plenty of movement to their day, but the pounds just aren’t dropping off.

If you’re exercising and eating right, the most likely explanation for why you don’t weigh less is actually good news: your increased activity is building muscle! Don’t panic: Additional muscle mass can cause you to weigh more, but it looks much more trim and fit!

Muscle tissue also uses more energy than fat, meaning you’ll be burning more calories even when you’re not exercising.

So try to focus on more than just the scale!

 Don’t forget to measure lost inches with a tape measure and remember that even if you’re gaining muscle weight, you’re increasing your fat-burning potential and reshaping your figure at the same time.

Be proud — you’re working hard and your body is changing for the better. Keep it up!

I could hear the rain coming down when I first woke up. I did it again! I was at the GYM bright and early and got those “feel good endorphins” fluttering here, there and everywhere. Have a fabulous day Everybody!
