When losing weight, I always look forward to stepping on the scales after a few days of good eating or a hard workout the day before.
Without fail recently, I've been either the same or lower weight each time I step on.
So yesterday I did this intense leg workout class. I came home shattered with everything aching and I could barely walk, my legs kept almost buckling under me they were so weak (instructor probably worked us a little too hard). This morning I'm also feeling a lot of aching, but I worked so hard and ate about 1200-1250 ish calories yesterday (not really deliberately because I normally eat about 1350, just by eating my normal foods)
I've been 9 stone 7 lbs for a few days, so I was really expecting the scale to have gone under that mark and say 9 stone 6 lbs today. Instead it says 9 stone 9 lbs.
Any explanation? I find it hard to believe I've put on loads of muscle weight from one session. Did I not eat enough calories for the amount I burned? Must have been like 900-1000 net calories for the day taking off the workout. Sort of wondering about any biological explanation for it really. Im assuming tomorrow I'll go back to 9 stone 7 again.
