I think there's a problem. Like, I've just assumed it's because I've put on a lot of muscle and I swear I see more definition (less body-fat) but, I'm still about 15lbs lighter than when I got back into fitness... so what gives? I'm eating healthily as hell, I'm getting ample protein, and I'm working out. The only thing I can think, is that I'm somehow eating too much, or maybe I am actually taking in too much protein. I think I might cut my protein shake amount in half and see what happens. I'm also going to go back to counting calories, JUST FOR A WHILE, to get an idea of how many calories I'm eating these days.

Typically, I eat Greek salad, tinned tuna fish, vegetable cous-cous, sometimes chicken, my shakes, olives, and the occasional bit of wholemeal bread. For treats, sometimes I'll eat a bit, thinking I've earned it, worked out and stuff, also eating healthily that day - I keep seeing that you can get away with this, and so far I've not noticed anything to the contrary. Typically, it's a simple enough but fairly rich ice-cream, not-too-rich biscuits, and Pringles. I don't have that stuff often. I rarely have takeouts. I haven't had a takeout in about a month, I think, and even when I do, I take nutritional value pretty seriously.

Apparently, for "extreme weight loss" at my weight, well, the weight I was at (16 stone - now a touch under 15) I needed to eat 2600 calories a day, I think it was. That said, THIS website tells me I should be eating between 1900-2100 calories a day for weight loss.

I know one problem I have, is that, well, lately, I've been eating (OK, snacking, even though it's on healthy foods) too late... >.< I really need to stop that, but I get really hungry, or peckish.

Anywho, I get to workout today, well, later, as it's only just "today". I'm gonna try to push myself harder, ... aim for 50 minutes, and I might get out the bike again, too, as it has been a lil while since I used it. (been doing other cardio stuff) I also haven't treked with my rucksack in ages, so I need to do that... I just get self-conscious out there. >.<

I'm sure you're allowed a naughty day. 8)
