That 2# jump mid week is coming off! 0.8# left to get off but again, I haven’t been drinking enough water. I’ve been having 2-3 bottles but I find the water comes off best with 4-5 bottles. Thanks to @Chris I know this is just water. Thanks Chris(tie)!

Even though I overate one day this week I know it’s water. And I do mean overeat lol. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a 2200 kcal day and not immediately dieted the next few days to make up for it or planned ahead for it. But these days will happen more often in maintenance and I won’t always be able to cut back before and after. Holidays, vacations etc. My end goal has always been to get back to how I was a few years ago... eat what I want and not gain weight. Now I just have to be mindful that I’m a post menopausal cancer survivor who is fast approaching 40 lol. I was lucky to get to 35 eating what I want and barley gaining. The main point of gaining muscle is also to eat what I want. More muscle=higher daily calorie burn to sustain those muscles. It just has the added benefit of filling out the loose areas like tricep area :). Another added benefit is when my uncle shows off his muscles I’ll be able to surprise him with mine. He’s not much bigger than me, maybe 3” and 30-40# but his extra weight is muscle. He doesn’t work out but is a diesel mechanic who manages the place now. He makes sure to get on the floor as much as he can because he loves being a mechanic and it also helps keep him in shape. I don’t have a job like that so I’ll settle for the gym. I’m competitive and like to show off for my family. I’ll use that to help me keep going and hopefully workout harder. Hmmm wonder how long it would take someone like me to get manly muscles. Probably not by Christmas but that’ll be my goal I think.

Happy Sunday dear friends! May you be blessed this day and all those that follow!

Lol ok. Keep in mind that I can only gain half as much as you ;). We go MWF but hubby travels so missing MW this week. I may hit the treadmill when running errands or home weights. I know he will find a gym if possible and I can’t let him get in more workouts than me lol.

You may enjoy mitochondrial research. They are the ones who convert food into energy, in simplistic term. There are ways to increase the number of these. Haven't got full understanding yet, but sun play a role, and resistance training. Still more to read.
