Something Different
I had been expecting to travel for a few weeks, but my plans changed and I only ended up travelling for a few days.
I’m in Europe now and have a scale again. I’m not sure that’s such a good thing because the needle on the scale hasn’t moved much. But, despite that, I have lost more than 1 inch off of my waist. I can’t really see that I have gained muscle, but I think that I must have.
It’s interesting that a pound of muscle contains only 600 calories of energy while a pound of fat contains 3500 calories of energy. Based on that it seems entirely possible that I’ve been gaining pounds of muscle at a similar rate to the fat I’ve been losing lately.
There are some physical signs that perhaps I have actually put on muscle lately. I was working out yesterday, and I think I did a proper pushup. Actually, I may have done six of them. But, I’m not 100% certain. I’m not sure I was quite low enough. That’s the part I have trouble with when doing pushups. But, if I’m not quite doing pushups correctly, I am very close.
That 10th pushup isn’t far off.
