Now that's just not fair...

Since picking up running again a few weeks ago (modestly, see my post in this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=295&topic_id=8032&mesg_id=8054) I've managed to...wait for it...GAIN 3 lbs!

I thought it was supposed to work the other way. I am keeping tight control of my diet too. Sigh.

2. That's true, but you don't gain much muscle jogging

OP: How are your cloths fitting? Do you look any different in the mirror?

I'd advise getting your body composition measured for a more accurate indicator as weight is pretty ambiguous indicator.

3. I never lost weight jogging

I just got stronger legs as I was able to go longer and longer.

5. I've got a Tanita scale

I'm just going to keep plugging away, watching the ole diet, and will use the Tanita scale to check bodyfat as well as weight.

I kept pretty active over the weekend, and will be moving 3000 lbs of sand from a driveway to a new sandbox this Friday, so I took it easy running this week since I am still in recovery from plantar fascitis.

thanks for the pep talk everyone! :-)
