Since actively starting diet and exercise in January things have been going well. Although, I haven't lost as much weight as I would have thought. some thoughts on this though. Since the beginning of March I have increased bodyweight training with power yoga and increased run time. I've quadrupled what I can handle with bodyweight exercises in that time along with doubling my static pose times in power yoga. my runs are now above 40 minutes ( they started with hour long walks and maybe a five minute run). I've been stuck at about 200lbs for a month. Disheartening for me at times until I realized recently that I dropped from a size 36 pants to size 34 in this past month. So I am still losing fat but the gains in muscle must be making up the difference. My point here is don't lose focus because the weight stops melting, it doesn't mean we aren't getting in better condition. Due to this realization, I have substantially increased my protein intake to help repair muscle. I don't mind the muscle gain as long as there are signs the fat is still being lost. Good luck to us all and happy healthy living!
