Scale is still going down, even though I'm eating a lot more...almost 2500 calories yesterday. Omron was still at 10.3% this morning, which is a little concerning - I don't like the combination of eating more, exercising more, losing weight, and gaining body fat. But I'm also not going to sweat the day to day stuff if I can help it - the bottom line is, I'm eating very well and getting regular exercise, so I'm not going to accidentally wake up obese tomorrow.
I do wonder how much of it is related to turning down the cardio, and trying a few days of strength training. Taking baby steps into that world, after spending 4 months cardio-ing off body fat. Did arms and back stuff 2 days ago, then chest exercises yesterday...feeling kinda mushy and sore today! But that's a good thing.
Still not sure what my long-term exercise regimen will look like, but I do need to focus on strength training for now. So I've bought some adjustable dumbbells and a pull up bar, and I ordered the P90X stuff - that will arrive next week and I'll start letting that kick my butt.
Whether or not I go with that in the long term, or just use the home weight training suggestions I've found in the forum here recently remains to be seen. Either way, it's fun and I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm in better shape than I've ever been in my adult life, and I really look forward to improving myself even more.
I really do wish I'd known earlier on how possible all of this was - I just never learned how to eat right until now.
