5-5-5 progress, but ...

May 21st, 2012 at 02:25 pm

This morning I did another Gilad workout, taking me to 19 workouts done, 6 to go for the month.

Unfortunately, I weighed in last night at 1.5 lbs. heavier. So far for the month, I've gained nearly 3 lbs.

Initially I was very discouraged. I mean, I'm still not thrilled. But, I'm trying to reframe this in a way that helps me not give up.

I could just decide this didn't work, stop working out, lose the benefits I've gained from these three weeks, and end my month heavier than I started it with nothing to show for it.

Or, I can finish the workouts for this month, and then craft a new plan for next month that includes diet as well as activity. I don't feel like I'm eating more, but clearly I'm sneaking in some extra calories that negate my workouts. Maybe some calorie-counting or something would help me get on track.

    Are you sure you aren't just gaining muscle weight?
