It’s not as bad as it looks!
If my scale isn’t a total lying liar, I gained 1.5 pounds this month, but also:
- Body fat decreased
- Muscle mass increased
And it only ended up leaving me up 0.8 pounds for the year, an amount small enough that it could be wiped out in one weigh-in.
The key work is: could.
July was a stressful month and I fell back on snacking too often, but I also ran pretty steadily, too, which helped to keep things in balance.
I will keep running in August and try to find other ways to alleviate stress that do not involve shoving food into my mouth. We’ll see how it goes!
