I chalk this up mostly to muscle gain. I have been running about 25 miles a week for the past few weeks (spread out over multiple days) to train for a 10K in April. I've also joined a gym where I use the weight machines 5 days a week (and do my runs). My clothes aren't fitting any differently and even though my BMI says I am overweight I still wear a size 5/6 in pants and S/M in shirts, so I'm not worried much. And my Fitbit says I'm burning way more calories than I'm taking in, so it's definitely muscle gain. At the health and wellness screening it said I had more muscle than fat and that my waist was smaller than my hips, so I was considered healthy. I will probably do another screening in a couple of months just to check my progress.
